Hello everyone, I'm new to this site. We (Brother-in-law and myself) left out of Keaton Beach headed East of markers to 6-7 foot. We drifted east toward Piney Point around 8:30am. had limit just after 12pm. 16" to 21" trout,started culling after 12:30pm. We ended up with 10 trout 17.5 - 21". Fishing a Gulp jerk shad pulling it through the grass.....yes, just like bass fishing with a worm. Fishing it slow. Water was clear and the fish were solid. Picked up 3 spanish 1 over 24" and 2 black bass 13". Good day on the water, beats working! We emptied 6 bags of Gulp Jerk shad after 7 hours on the water, had more money in bait than gas in the boat! Hope this helps?

Welcome... glad to see a great report. If you lose lots of money in bait, we already have something in common!

Great report, welcome aboard. I'm heading to Keaton in the morning, hope to find some.

Attaboy, Tritonlkpk!

Thanks for the report.

Good report and good fishing.

Did you rig Texas style or use a gig head?

We fished with 1/16th and 1/8th ounce lead heads. By the way, this was Saturday 4/09. Forgot to put the date. When the pinfish started attacking our bait it was only a few seconds before the THUMP! Set the hook and tighten the line. Best day on the flats I've had in 8 months.

HEY WELCOME ABOARD, THANKS FOR THE GREAT REPORT, I JUST WISH WE COULD HAVE DONE JUST HALF AS WELL AS YOU ON THE CATCHIN , MAYBE WE CAN IMPROVE THE NEXT TIME AROUND.
