Keaton Beach, 4/18-19

Post by ddb »

Arrived somewhat late on 4/18 with Breambuster and his son, C-man. We didn't get fishing until 4 pm on the falling tide. Tried to find some stained water in 2-3', fishing wasn't fast, but we picked up some quality trout in the 18-23" range. Called it a day as the sun set. We arrived early on Saturday planning on making the most of the day. Fishing was good for the first 3 hrs of the rising tide with the wind blowing at a stiff 10-15 pushing the water in. We were close to our limit of trout by noon so we opted to move in to give the reds a shot, also hoping to pick up some larger trout. On our first drift over some oyster bars we picked up a couple more keeper trout. I hooked up with a slot red on a gold spooned spinner bait and C-man quickly followed that with another slot red on a pin fish. We boated a couple more short reds, fun but no cigar. All the big boys had moved out, may have been the comotion we made :-? From 1-3 our bite shut down (as said in different report), did mangage my first cobe of the year, only problem was it was only 12" :-D We spent most of our time in 3-4', except when chasing the reds. The overcast conditions and rising tide in the am appeared to work to our advantage. Headed home around 4 for the long drive back.

Sorry for the late report, my internet's been on the fritz. :thumbdown:

Not too shabby.
