Keaton Monday 14th - Thursday 17th

Recent Fishing Reports - April 14th-17th 2014
Fishing out of the Keaton Beach - Sea Hag Marina - area flats.
Aboard 2 young Anglers - Skippy Sims, 16 and Woodrow Shaw, 17 from Atlanta GA

Reporting a respectable catch of Redfish, Speckled Trout...

Anglers were using light spinning tackle, approx. 15# braid, a 20# fluorocarbon leader, Gulp Shrimp - soft baits and a light jig heads 1/8th to 1/16th oz made with Gamakatsu Hooks. Best bait colors where 4" White, New Penny, and the Nuclear Chicken, which yielded the largest Trout of 24".

Despite rains, rougher water and a cold front taking air temp down to 40 on the 16th, the 2 managed to pull in a decent catch.

Monday yielded the best weather conditions, on Wednesday most Trout where taken from a slightly deeper depth, Thursday the best fish came from waters 1.5 to 2.5 feet close to shore in the grassy flats.
