Keaton Beach 5/27-5/28

Post by LUCKY DAWG »

Headed out of the Marina about 2:00 on Friday with 2 buddies, past the #2 marker and hung a left. Water temp was 79, slight chop, sunny. We fished hard until about 8:30 and boated 8 trout (including a limit for me :-D) and 3 spanish. We also caught about 50 shorts and a butt-load of sea bass. Most were caught on jigs, with a few on a suspending jerkbait. CLose to sunset, I had better luck with Berkely GULP shrimp under a CT. I went through 3 packs of those SOBs in about an hour. The fish were going nuts for them.

On Saturday we left the Marina at 6 AM with 5 guys in 2 boats. The water was verrrry slick and no breeze. We fished until about 10:30 and came in with 8 more keepers and a spanish. Went back out about 4:00 until dark and brought back 12 more keepers.

Total for the 5 of us:
28 keeper trout
4 spanish macks
? short trout
? sea bass
1 shark
and the biggest ladyfish I've ever seen
