Keaton Report 3/4-5/2010

[slayer]

inshore at Keaton is horrible right now.....way to much fresh water and silt in the water..temps are way down 47 to 51 degrees....north east wind is brutal....tides are pretty bad right now with the first fishable high tide of the day being about around 5pm......

we were going to fish thru Sunday but left Saturday morning to come back to griffin....other friends stayed to keep trying. but their reports are that it hasnt gotten any better....they report finding a few reds in some shallow water south of keaton, but catching them is proving hard. and the trout we found on thursday have been destroyed by the hundreds of boats trying to find not only a place out of the wind but also one of the few places that has any clear water.....

2 more weeks of 60 to 70 degree days and a good south-west wind will make a big difference

Thursday
0 fish ....not a single bite...fished from Spring Warrior to the dogs-head...6ft to 1.5 feet

Friday
9 trout 19-24 inches caught between 1:30pm to 4:30pm in 1 to 2.5 ft of water using 5" soft jerkbait in sherbert color or a walmart renagade hard jerkbait in electric chicken color...all fish caught in about an area 1/4 mile square south of keaton but north of the dog-head

Sat

Left early to come home!!!! best part of the trip!!!!
