Thanks for the report. Them bandits are my most favorite fish to catch but I can never time them right on the reef. Looks like they're there now.

How far out do you have to go to get to the Reef? I have a 20ft Ranger Bass boat, should I go?

12 mile run from Keaton. I think its around 8-9 miles straight off the shore.. may be mistaken... we were in a 21 bay boat, and were fine. There was an older man in a 16' Carolina skiff tryin it...
