Keaton Beach

Went to Keaton Beach yesterday and motored down to the legendary Dallas Creak area. There were'nt but 17 boats in the creek area when we got there...and on a Monday too. Of course it was a holiday for federal employees.
Enclosed is a picture of what we caught there. Never could get any any bigger. Reminded me of St Marks river....the catch that is. This one in the picture is just a little bit bigger than the mirrorlure.
Reports are the area really produced during the holidays....but it was a bust yesterday.
Water temp in the creek was 65.7 degrees. On the flats it was 64.5. Really warm for this time of year...an

d crystal clear too.

Thanks for the Keaton report.

Was thinking of heading that way next week. Now chalk's got me dreaming about St. Joe Bay. So many places so little time.
