This is a secondhand report from my preacher buddy in Gainesville.
I went to KB last Friday with a friend of mine from church.
He's lying already. This guy has no friends.
The weather was dark and rainy, but very cool for July. We caught fish off and on all day, but most where 14-141/2 inches. On one cast, I hung what I thought must be a shark. But, when I got it to the boat I realized it was a trout. I nearly had a mild stroke! My friend managed to get it in the net. It was 241/2 inches long, making it the second largest trout I have ever caught! To say I was exited would be an understatement. About 10 minutes later, I caught a 20 inch trout. We only caught 6 that we could keep, but those 2 were great. We did catch a nice flounder and a cobia that was only 25 inches long.
It stayed cloudy all day. The water was clear, but there was a lot of floating grass. We caught nearly every fish we caught on Gulp bait and pinfish in 5-7 feet of water.
He and I had fished the Friday before and everyone was saying "the trout are in 8 to 10 feet," but all we got there were dinks. The keepers were in 5 to 7. So for what it's worth:
Launch: at Keaton
Depth: 5 to 7
Bait: Gulp shrimp
If there's no soccer (or fishing) in heaven - I'm not going!
