Keaton on the Tin Can

Chalk came over Thursday in time to make it to the meeting. He took a lot of notes, listening to Capt. Pat McGriff. During the ride to Keaton Friday morning, referring to the notes, we developed a plan.We got to our first spot and started chunking. Fish slow. 5 casts and change colors. Moved to spot 2. Fish slow. 5 casts and change colors.Tried several of our standby spots with no joy. Bumped into BB and CT. At that time they didn't have much either (or they lied to us :wink: ). Ran into Keels, Jackson and Sonny. Same story. After some discussion we decided to go some place different. Finally found 1 spot holding fish.

Headed out Saturday morning knowing our 1 spot had no water on it. Went to another standby spot and managed a couple of keepers. Started working our way to our 1 productive spot. 5 casts, change colors.We managed a limit of decent fish, 11 pounds, but couldn't find a kicker fish.

Sticking to our game plan put us in the top 10 for the tournament, but I don't think I can afford to fish this strategy on a regular basis. When I cleaned the boat I picked up a 5 gallon bucket full of plastic. $250 worth of baits is more than I can afford.

Enjoyed it, partner. It's always an adventure. Can't wait to do it again.
