OK - all fisherman are liars. But my buddy is a Methodist Preacher - which I guess means he gets paid for being a liar. I could not fish with him Saturday at Keaton or I would have the 'real' story.
No witnesses. I wonder if he think Jesus walked on the backs of the fish that were so think you could not possibly sink.I have got to tell you the fishing this past Saturday was better than I have seen it in 30 years! I would have given anything if you could have been there. I caught between 75 and 100 trout by myself! Of those I caught, only about 10 were too short. There was one span of about 30 minutes when I caught 20 trout on 20 cast. Not one was under 15 inches long. I did not even use the net because I had my limit in about 30 minutes. I caught 4 trout over 20 inches, including one that was 23 inches. Before I started fishing, I caught 20 pinfish. I used them all in about an hour and could not catch them quick enough. Soon after they hit the water, I had either a trout, blue fish or shark. They bit all day long! The local guide had told me to put up the Gulp bait and fish with the candy corn colored soft plastic. I tried it off and on all day, but did not catch a single fish on it. The molting color Gulp bait was by far the best color. I caught all four 20-plus inch trout on that color. It was a day fishermen live for!
I had 3 fish take every inch of my line off my pinfish rod. I could not slow them down! What an amazing day. I hope they continue to bite like they did Saturday. Why, even you might have caught your limit
