Fishing Log

Sat. Nov. 9, 2002 - Was called back to work Oct. 25, and am getting less fishing time in now.  Took a 19 inch, 3.31 lb. flounder at the C-2 seawall, east of the fence, on a live finger mullet, during the incoming tide.

Thu. Nov. 14, 2002 - High tide at the mid notch, between the B/C corner and C-1-W, I took 2 nice 16 inch yellow mouth trout and a medium croaker.  Lost about a 30 inch redfish for not having my landing net rigged up.  All fish hooked on a twisty tail jig.

Fri. Nov. 15, 2002 - Two more good sized yellow mouth trout, taken at the same spot as yesterday.

Sat. Nov. 30, 2002 - Fished with Ashley in his boat.  Bought a $14.00 saltwater fishing licence (hated that) and about $13.00's worth of Live fiddler crabs and mud minnows for a very slow day of fishing.  We caught one 15 inch speckled trout, a large male blue crab, and nothing else.  Too much wind and tide to fight.

Sunday Dec. 1, 2002 - Caught a 3 lb. sheepshead and Little Richard gave me another.  Both fish taken from  pier at the Navy's steam plant on the St. Johns River.

Mon. Dec. 2, 2002 - Took a 16 in. flounder on a twisty tail jig after work at B/C Corner.  With yesterday's catch it yielded a quart ziplock bag full of filets.

Wed. Dec. 4, 2002 - Picked up a 17 in. trout jigging at B/C corner, a very pretty fish.

Dec. 23 2002 - At the B/C corner: caught 2 medium size yellow mouth trout and a large croaker, all taken on jigs.  Gave the whole mess to a lagger (craftsman) I work with.
