Sp.Warrior/ little Sp Creek - local knowledge
Hello all. I could use a little local knowledge. First off, I fish out of Keaton a good bit. My fishing buddy is from Valdosta , so where else would I go? We fish North a good bit, but never venture in too close in.
I'm planning a solo trip. I'm leaving the big boat at home and am taking my 15 ft fish catching boat. As the plan stands right now, i'll find some where to put in around Sp. Warrior or Sp. Creek. Fish Saturday afternoon. Find some where to bunk - Perry, unless there is a room to rent closer, and fish again Sunday AM before making the 5 hour return trip on Sunday afternoon.
My question is this: Any recommendations on where to put in? I saw an earlier post about a fish camp a Sp Warrior burning recently. Sad deal. I hate I missed the chance to visit that place.
Also, are there other accommodations in the area?
I really would appreciate some feedback. Thanks

If you were to launch at Keaton, you could go out to about the third or second last channel marker - turn north and look for a line of three or four markers out from a white house on the shore. The furthest marker stands up straight, the second is keeled over a bit. I mark the furthest pole at N29.49.70 and W83.36.63. There are reds there. I'm sure that wind direction and temp make a big difference (the fish [or was it the fishermen] got blown out of there Sunday), but in general at half tide (either incoming or outgoing) you will find some coppery fish. They were gobbling mullet in there like crazy for a while on Sunday, so topwaters might get 'em.
For what it's worth ... I don't know what these other guys know.

If there's no soccer (or fishing) in heaven - I'm not going!

PJ- that's a lot of territory your asking about between Dekle and the Fenholloway. Just N or Dekle you have Yates Creek, and then Spring Warrior, Spring Creek, and then the Fenholloway. Those are your major creeks and there are numerous bars and rocks from all of them. I probably don't need to say that there are many more smaller creeks than those just mentioned. I have had good luck on reds and trout just north of Dekle, but then talking to others they headed south past Piney Point and fished off Grassy Island. Good Luck!!! Take it slow, those rocks don't give!!!
If we are not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?
