Keaton Beach 4/7/12
People always ask me why I want to know what the water temp is. Saturday morn was the reason why. Friday at Keaton the water temp was in the upper 70's, Saturday morning it was 63 degrees in the canal. The warmest we found all day was 67 degrees. Fishing was slow to say the least and the wind did not help. We wound up with 3 trout and many shorts and sea bass. My boy did have fun fighting sharks on the baitpole.

Clear water, dirty water, stained water?
Grass or sand or rock?

Tried clear and stained water over spotty bottom.

It has always seemed to me at least that water temp does not have as much effect on fish this time of year. I look at it very closely in the winter and in the summer however. This time of year they are more likely to be turned off by a high pressure front like over the past weekend than by temperature. Just my opinion from observances. Anyways be it water temp, fronts, rain or wind. The only thing that usually keeps me off the water are lightning and rocks.....

What was the barometric pressure?

I like to watch water temps this time of year because when it is a little more chilly, muddy bottoms on sunny days seem to draw more active fish. Once it is a little warmer, that effect does not seem to matter much.
Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?
