Keaton Beach 2/9-2/10
Posted: February 11th, 2018, 9:27 am
Took my son and dad down to keaton and put the boat in friday afternoon around 3. Went north to yates creek and spring creek to fish some oyster bars on the rising tide. My son picked up 1 keeper trout on a very slow bite. Being hard headed i was determined that that location was holding the fish, so early saturday morning we made the 5 mile trek back to that area. We fished from yates up to spring warrior, this time picking up 6 keepers from 7:30 to 11 am, with a sloooow bite. Called a buddy of mine who came out around 9 am to see how they were doing, and he informed me that they already had their limit and were heading in. Swallowing my fisherman's pride, I of course asked where they caught em. Turns out, we made the 5 mile run for nothing. Headed back toward Dekle in the thick fog, dropped in around the 2-3 ft of water and for the next 2 hours, the 3 of us not only caught the rest of our limits, but got on unbelievable bite that landed each of us a trout on every third cast. Yes, i owe my friend a dinner, but it also just goes to show you that having a 14 year old son with a big ole trout on in the front of the boat, is just as fun as having a 77 year old father fighting one on the back of the boat at the same time too! Wish I had pictures to share, but who has time to snap pics when you are netting and taking fish off on both ends. Good Luck and the bite is great at keaton.
