Just got back from Keaton

Fished all day Friday and half of today.
Friday:
Probably the worst conditions I have voluntarily ever fished in. Rain, 20+ winds, but we had driven four hours to get there so we gave it a try. It was so rough we stopped at channel marker five and started fishing right there. Three casts and I pulled in a 17.5 trout, caught two more 18+ in the next hour. The rain started to let up and we headed all the way to spring warrior. The wind was worse here and we caught nothing. Headed back between the bird rack and Dekle and my buddy landed a 22 inch trout. Went back in for about three hours and came back out about 2:00 and, of course, conditions had worsened. Made it back to marker five and limited in about three hours with most of the trout over 17".
Saturday:
Today called for higher winds but early in the morning, conditions were perfect. About 9:00am, fog rolled in and you couldn't see over 100 yards in front of you. Thank goodness for GPS! Caught two keepers right at 15" and called it a day about 1:00pm. Fog never burnt off and was getting thicker when we left.
The grease is already hot.
