Fishing Log
Saturday, Aug. 3, 2002 - Hooked a 24 inch ladyfish at C-1-W, that fought like a red, also foul hooked a croaker. Released both. No flounder yet, air and water temps still hot.
Monday, Aug. 5, 2002 - Lost about a 2 to 3 lb. flounder at B/C corner for not rigging my landing net before a made my first cast. Hookup made on a Mr. Whiffle jig tail.
Aug. 6, 2002 - Took a 2 ft. barracuda on a Mr. Whiffle jig tail at B/C corner.
Aug. 16, 2002 - Caught a big yellow jack at C-1-W. A real line stripper. Marinated filets in papaya/pineapple juice, with a little soy sauce, cayenne pepper and minced garlic.
Saturday, Aug. 17, 2002 - The Kennedy Battle Group returned today after a 6 mo. deployment. Traffic was a zoo, skipped fishing. Mason came over tonight. I boiled corn on the cob, shrimp ($4.00 a lb. heads off), and grilled the jack filets. After dinner I took Mason down to Singleton's dock where he caught and released 5 sailors' choice, insisting on no help. Restaurant patrons clapped and cheered his performance.
Aug. 21, 2002 - Fished C-2-W despite heavy carrier security. Caught and released a big blue and several small sea bass during low tide. Weather still very hot.
