Skunked

Post by Nopatients »

I’m fishing out of Keaton and not having much luck over the past 3 weeks the water temps have cooled and fluctuated some but I’ve tried suspending lures, live shrimp, cut bait, spoons, gulp shrimp with little success it hasn’t been complete skunks but it’s been a fish here or there that has kept me from it I’ve fished out to 4’ of water in the flats all the way to poling a skiff into the creeks I’ve fished falling tides and incoming tides.... will trade beer for info not asking for spots but just a little help I normally do well but it has been a struggle recently

No idea what's happening in Keaton, but in St. Mark's I've had some luck fishing popping corks in 3' to 4' around oyster bars.

Water temps have been 59f to 64f

been catching them at Keaton on slow suspending plugs such as a rip n slash and floating stick minnow in real shallow water there.also try soft plastics fished real slow like everything else right now until the water warms up some.

I have fished mirror lure and yozuri as slow as I can I’ve used suspending and slow sinking, rattles no rattles I haven’t been hammering the soft baits much that’ll be my next thing I try I guess I’ve been throwing them some just not as frequently as the suspending baits

Brother, you are throwing the whole tackle box and they aren’t biting. It’s not the wrong lure, you just aren’t in the fish. If you were, any of the lures you mentioned would work. MPA said he was getting them shallow. I’d go as shallow possible if I were you. Good luck
