Headed north out of Keaton Beach Sunday morning. Managed 15 trout with the biggest at 21". Also caught 1 redfish at 24 1/4". Released all of them! Most of the trout and the red were caught on live pinfish under a cork, and a few trout were caught on Gulp jerk shads. It was WINDY to say the least, but the bite was steady all day. Water temps were 78-79 degrees.

Good report. Way to practice catch and release.

Sounds like an action packed trip --- great report!

How deep of water were the trout in?

What size pinfish you using? We have had hardly any luck on live pinfish lately. That's a nice haul of fish.

3.5 to 5 feet.

Hit-n-miss...Most of the pinfish were about the size of a half dollar, some were just a little bit bigger.

Nice.

Must be the difference I usually use them 3-4" long.
