March 10, 2002 - Sunday, Fished the steam plant on the river for sheepshead - nothing. Then fished in the basin for trout, but only caught bluefish. Released them.
March 12, 2002 - Tuesday, wind out of the SE. Took a girl from the pipe shop with me over to C-2-E for trout. We kept 16 fish between 13 and 16 inches. She was very proud of the mess she took home.
March 13, 2002 - Went over to the notch @ C-2-W after work and culled out 10 or 12 (13 to 16 inch) trout for my dad. A sailor had also been there working for sheepshead with no luck. When a pelican showed up and started stealing fish off my line, we both left.
March 14, 2002 - Same M.O. as above, no total count on the trout, but I kept 4, gave away 2, and released the rest.
March 27, 2002 - Lost a yellow mouth trout about 24 in. long. Hadn't bothered to rig the landing net and misset the drag after hooking the Fish. Snapped the line trying to horse the fish up and over the sea wall. Rookie mistakes. Was also plagued with pesky bluefish all afternoon. I kept 2, 16 in. trout earlier last week that I served to Kathy, with shrimp and scallops, Sunday. Happy girl.
Mar 29, 2002 - Kept 5 or 6, thick shouldered trout. The shortest was 14 inches.
Saturday, March 30, 2002 - Ran over to C-2-W and picked up 2, 16 in. yellow mouth trout before Kathy's party tonight. Gave Bob Kirk a ziplock bag full of skinless, boneless fillets. His comment was, "I'm all over that!" Tomorrow is Easter Sunday.
