2-25-2007 Keaton Beach area

Post by **jsuber** » February 25th, 2007, 7:11 pm

What a day. A rough day would not even describe what happened out there today. Imagine fishing off the back of a four wheeler while some one is driving you across corn field rows and the stalks are whizzing by you as you try to make a cast. And thatâ€™s what it was like. I went out to Keaton Beach area to get acclimated and figure out where I was going to fish during the next NFGFC event. After visiting 6 locations, I finally found one that offered some sort of protection and a smidgen of opportunity to catch fish. I didnâ€™t pick anything up until 1:30 and the tide was very high. The wind was a steady 20-25 mph and every now and they you would get a 30-40 mph gust. I tried all kinds of colors, and variations and even tried Gulp. But the only thing that brought it home for me was a Â¼ DOA jig-head, and a DOA CAL shad tail root-beer with green tail. They call it Chartreuse, but its green. I caught most of them in 2 feet of water, the rest of them it was less than that. They were hanging out on the Oyster bars, and I would just bring it across the top of them and they would pick it up. Iâ€™m glad its over with though. I picked up ten fish and here are a few of the highlights.

Does this look choppy. If you look close you'll see the oyster below the water.

I love the way you present your fish for the camera. It must work with your kayak people. Maybe Santa Ty will let you win a Golden Ruler. Then we will see what you really catch.
Good ten? fish though.

I have one. Its blue, and real long to measure the big fish. I was proud to catch those fish today. I was freaking ecstatic to catch anything today.

Nice catch, use a higher resolution setting on your camera, so I can zoom in and read your GPS easier and move that rope from around it too

Sweet Trouts!

Hey Sube those shoes don't look very waterproof, we don't want you to get cold feet.
