I'm getting packed up for a week long fishin', catchin', fryin', grillin', drinkin', relaxin', vacation, extravaganza! lol We will be on the water for 7 days straight! Yeah . . . . . I'm a lil' excited.

I've been reading some reports from Keaton and Stein. Looks like things are shaping up to be a ...

Went to Steinhatchee Thursday. Very windy out , but fishable. We couldn't get a bite off of anything. In skinny or deep. Rained all day Friday, never made it out. Saturday God said "Let ther be wind and fog". And poof, he made plenty! Windy and foggy all day. haha We were forced to stay in the river ...

Yeah, I know. I didn't wanna wait till March. hehe I've never fished January, so I wasnt sure about how they would be biting. Thanks! I'll let yall know how it goes!

Me too! It's a whole lot better than burnin' up out there. I just wasn't sure about the cold. We would like to get down there later this month for a little weekend fishin'. Didn't know if it was to early, since we've never done it before. (In January that is)

What is the closest date we should plan to fish Steinhatchee for Trout and Red's? And maybe catch some.

I'm going to be there this weekend for the first time to try and catch some trout. I have fished Keaton plenty. Is Steinhatchee similar? I'll be fishin' from a 22.5' pontoon. Is there anything I should know for safety reasons? Where have they been bitin'?
Thanks!

Not the greatest trip so far. I've ben to Keaton 8 times now. Every trip is 4 days (Thursday - Sunday). I have never seen the tide this low. Trout were biting Friday, but couldn't get a keeper Sat or Sun. We wound up with 9 trout and one spanish mackrel all together. Much less than normal for us ...

Plannin' on doin' some fishin' this weekend at Keaton. Looks like rain thursday and friday. Anyone else gonna try it?

Thanks fella's! Got'cha! Stay shallow and run the creeks. Just how far is the steinhatchie reef from Keaton? I am in a pontoon boat.
As for buying gps tracks, I'll keep my green. Cause when yur onboard "My Dixie Wrecked", you'll always have a good time.

I'm goin' down to Keaton thursday-sunday. Any suggestions by those of you that fished the turney Saturday?

I can vouch for Keaton Beach Marina and Hotel. I've stayed there many times. The rooms are nice and only about 100 ft from the dock. I'll be there myself March 15-18.

I thought the same dang thing. Who needs all that cable if that is the case! Thanks ya'll!

I have installed a Cobra MRF55 radio in my pontoon boat. I was planning on putting the antenna (36" whip) on top of the back canopy frame. I was reading in the manual and read that the antenna shouldn't be more than 3'-0" from the radio. Is this true? If I mounted it the way I'm talking of it would ...

Thanks Yall! I would've went out and stuck to the only thing I know. Which is what I mentioned above. Now maybe I'll catch somethin' worth reporting here when I get back! Thanks again for your help!

Okiedokie! These bad boys huh?
I've never tried topwater. Will do!
