Fishing Log

Thursday, May 16, 2002 - Kept a 16 or 17 in. trout taken at C-2-W just after lunch, and a medium sized croaker taken just after work, same spot.  Released a medium jack, a large blue, some sailor's choices, and several small croakers.

Friday, May 17, 2002 - Picked up a 15 to 16 in. trout at B/C Corner.  Cooked up a nice meal of Fish and Cajun rice with shaved almonds.  We finally got some badly needed rain today.

Friday, May 24, 2002 - Hooked a large ladyfish after work at B/C Corner.  It jumped 5 or 6 times.  I had to land it to unhook the jig.  It measured 19" to the fork of the tail.

Friday, May 31, 2002 - The flounder showed up this morning at B/C Corner, near the tugs.  I tossed one, lost 2, and kept a good sea bass I caught during lunch.  One of the flounders I lost was about a 2 pounder.

Yesterday after work I ran into CDR Conrad Chung, parked at C-2-W.  He's been gone for about 4 years, then ran into him again tonight at Sliders.  He ate with us: Kathy, me, Bob Kirk, Steve Louks, and Conrad.  Also ran into Desmond waters and his wife there, a great evening.

Last Saturday was Labor Day Weekend.  We had a big family cookout with hamburgers, corn on the cob, and a big redfish, slathered with butter and herbs, cooked whole on the grill.  

Fishing Log

Wednesday, May 1, 2002, Predawn - Returned a 15" y.m. trout & a topsail cat @ B/C Corner.  Both taken on a jig.

May 2, 2002 - A Jack, a spot and a 15.5" y.m. trout @ B/C Corner.  Took the trout to my mother.

Friday, May 3, 2002 - Working the north side of the basin I hooked 3 medium sized croakers and a medium size y.m. trout. Tossed the first croaker and lost a better trout @ C-2-W.  The fish I kept yielded a marginal mess.  The croakers tasted better than the trout.

Saturday, May 4, 2002 - Had 2 predawn hookups @ B/C Corner with something big and slow (3 to 7 lb.?), but never turned it.  The same thing happened @ C-2-E after work.  Nothing to put into the box.  Base Security is making a pest of itself again about fishing.  Have also been spotting manatees, sea turtles and some very large bluefish (27 to 30") just below the surface of the water.

Monday, May 5, 2002 - Tossed back a small flounder taken on a jig @ C-2-W, after work.

May 9, 2002 - Tossed back a medium coroker from B/C corner before work.  I think the yellow mouth trout are gone.

Tuesday, May 14, 2002 - Released a small croaker, pre dawn, @ B/c Corner.  Released medium y.m. trout and croaker @ C-2-W, after work.  I'd like to be working the leeward corners of the piers which are no longer accessible due to increased security surveillance implemented around the base.  Water temp. is up to 78 degrees F. 

Wednesday, May 15, 2002 - Released a sailor's choice (C-2-W), and a croaker at B/C corner.  Nothing much for the table lately.
