Fishing Log 


Some of my grandfather's old tackle.


Sunday, Feb. 23, 2023 - Caught and released a 13 inch yellow mouth trout at B/C Corner.

Monday, Feb. 24, 2023 - Landed a 13 or 14 in. trout on a jig after work at C-1-West, then hooked another on the second cast.  Got worried about the security patrol, released the fish and left.  The last unfenced section of the pier left is now between B/C Corner and C-1-West, a highly visible, high traffic spot; and security patrols have worsened.  

Tue. Feb. 25, 2023 - On my way back to lunch I stopped at B/C Corner just long enough to catch and release one small trout before Security moved in my direction (a 'hit & run').  I know there are fish there, but just can't get at them.

Thu. Feb. 27, 2023 - Just before lunch Security had a vehicle parked at C-1-W, blocking any fishing there.  I slipped down to B/C Corner and had two heavy bumps on as many casts, then moved on.  After lunch the security guy was gone.  I landed and kept 6 trout (15 to 16 in. each) and lost several more.  The cold water has, I believe, slowed down their metabolism, making them respond better to a slower presentation. Not a bad day, really.

Fri. Feb. 28, 2023 - Hooked and released another trout at B/C Corner just before dawn, but didn't hang around to collect any more.


This reel has an old leather thumb drag.

This reel has a star drag and thumb drag combo. 

Monday, March 10, 2003 - Made 3 casts at B/C Coroner and landed 3 medium sized trout, on a white jig with a pink tail.  Took them to my father's house.  He gave me some of my grandfather's old cane rods and reels from his days as a charter boat captain in Miami.

Friday, March 28, 2008 - Landed another 15 in. yellow mouth trout at B/C Corner.
