T and I had a good excuse to go fishing today and took it
Headed to Keaton...public ramp closed..launched at marina about 9:30. Wind steady 10 up to 20 later. N to W as day went on.
Early not much at all happening. First 3 hours no water was moving...saw only a handful of fish, got a couple looks but no takers. Experimented with 3 flies, but came back to one Nole showed me...easy to cast, great in shallow water.
About 12:30 the tide began to punch in with West wind. Found some reds schoolin and working a flat. Wind was bad, but just cast to flashes. Hooked 3, landed 2 25" fish...thanks again Nole

Reds were schoolin, trout were in pockets. Landed 5 decent trout 20 - 23 over next hour.





Good fun!

Despite the wind

Can't wait till next time
