Fishing Log

April 16, 2002 - Took 4 nice trout, a medium croaker, and a small ribbon fish.  The first trout was taken pre-dawn @ B/C corner (lost several others).  The rest of the catch was taken just before 'Colors,' again losing several fish to poor hook sets.  Gave some of the catch away to Russell Downey's friend Wendell, who showed up just as I'd finished cleaning the fish.

Wednesday, April 17, 2002 - Nailed 3 big trout, pre-dawn @ B/C corner, and took a 4th @ C-2-W notch after work.  Took today's uncleaned trout to Connie (my sister) and Bobby (her husband), and dropped off some fillets from Monday at my Mother's house.  Sold the ribbon fish to B&M Bait and Tackle Shop for $2.00.  Had a good day and didn't have to clean any fish.

Friday, April 19, 2002 - I didn't fish yesterday because I bruised some ribs at work.  Am not scheduled to work again until Monday, but felt well enough to fish the north side of the basin, between 4:30 and 5:00 PM.  Released 2 trout, a croaker, a flounder, and a Jack, all under 14 inches.  Rudy the roach dog killed 3 biggies in the house tonight.

Saturday, April 20, 2002 - Caught a 14.5 inch croaker and a spanish mackerel, 17 inches to the fork of the tail.  Cooked both of them on a cookie sheet, over an open fire at Kathy's pottery building.

Monday, April 22, 2002 - Tossed back a 13.5 in. trout I caught just after work @ B/C corner, wind out of the West, with an incoming tide.  Also made a few casts before work at the same place, with only one small tap.  With temps already reaching into the low 90's during the day, the trout may be leaving.

April 27, 2002 - Hooked a medium size croaker @ C-1-W, and gave it away.  Wind out of the NE, on a falling tide - action slow.

April 30, 2002 - Pitched back 2 medium sized croakers at B/C corner
