Fishing Log
Thursday, May 1, 2003 - With little wind on the water this morning, I had expected some fast action, but got no bites. Visited the same spot after lunch and hauled out a 2.5 lb. trout. No hook-ups after lunch but was treated to a mountain of fried fish at the Marine Science Center's annual cookout. With a belly already full of fried fish, I took the trout I caught today and filets from yesterday over to my dad's house. Life in the village is sweet.
Friday, May 2, 2003 - Lost one, tossed one, and kept 3 medium sized trout before work. Nothing more at lunch, but the first fish after work got much heavier after the first run. A bluefish had attacked the first (hooked) fish but both shook off at the seawall. I landed one more trout and then went to the house.
Sunday, May 4, 2003 - I jigged up and landed 2 trout, a croaker and a sea bass at B/C Corner, and lost a triggerfish at the same spot.
Monday, May 14, 2003 - I lost 3 jigs before sunrise, figured that I'd been cut off by ribbon fish. By noon, word was out that the basin was full of big schools of large bluefish, especially around Foxtrot Cove. Bluefish not ribbon fish, had been the culprits
May 27, 2003 - Released a big croaker and a 13 inch red grouper at B/C Corner, after work.
May 28, 2003 - Picked up two, 17 inch trout at B/C Corner before work on a chartreuse jig. Offered a wide variety of live and artificial baits to fish in Foxtrot Cove with (surprisingly) no takers.
May 29, 2003 - Caught two more 17 inch trout on a jig at B/C Corner before work.
