3/31/18 Keaton Beach report
Posted: April 2nd, 2018, 8:33 pm
Fished Saturday 3/31 with my friend Chris, his son, and his son's friend. We managed to pick up 18 sea trout, a spanish, and a blue on an assortment of live bait (shrimp and pin fish) and some plastics. We had our best success at the end of the fall in the morning with a strong wind blowing out to assist. Once the tide tried to turn and was coming against the wind our bite slowed considerably. The bite did appear to pick up late in the afternoon (after the water began to fall again), but we had to head out at some point. We fished from 3-5', with the majority of our fish picked up in 4-5'. Spent a good bit of time looking for redfish without any success. I'd be interested to know if they had moved off the oyster bars due to the fresh water moving in the day before. Water temps were 64-67, the water was mostly clear.
