May 20 cont.
Trap - 1 M.x 3, 5 fish: bow & grid - avg 1 fang
trap. At 27.8 mi., had 2 M.x (4 ½) + 1 Chatter mackies.
At 27 mi. trap, had 2 M.x and red hitches.
After checking grid traps, set crawncent line
S & N grid, 5 fish (Shiners) each. Lots of
M.x sign especially S grid. Walked back to
old day w/with a grid & M.x sign in front
throughout the town area, although perhaps not as
dense as near the creek bottoms. Saw lots land
crabs & seemed to be alot of activity. Found
mackerel scat how mud which was almost undying
for 2 hours & M.x. We didn't catch too much
or grid fishing became the main engament activity.
Back in camp we could hear winnowing a strike by
M in the Hess Creek bottoms below camp. Got to
head at 2145 even though the sun was shining.
May 21 - Plan grid 0700-0800, fished checked rest of
fishing line & back to camp @ 0900 for breakfast. Weather
warming & too cool, sand & surface water frozen.
Picked up 3 little fish on SW hidden-off grid. At
27.8 mi.. - caught 2 J&J C.r. At 27.5 (drawn N side)
got 1 M.x 4, + at trap day camp end, I got 1 3'
+ 1 4' M.x in my line & 5 fish. The S crawncent
line off the grid extends for ~ 25 mi. from T-line.
Caught M.x was taken: 4 ft deep but not the furthest out.
After breakfast we drove to upper Hess Creek
camp road (mi. 24). I got out to hike and
