Mini vacation at Keaton with my wife and some friends 19th-21st.

Had been watching the weather for a while. It looked bad earlier in the week but Thursday night it said 2-3’ all weekend. 
Since we had reservations we decided to go. We got up Friday morning and headed down. All the way down no flags were moving and we stopped at Wilson’s and got some ice and stuff. The closer we got to Keaton a little more wind but at the landing it was not bad so off we go. It was a lot cooler than we thought it would be luckily we brought extra clothes.
We ran north a little past the first bird rack and started fishing. Water temp was 65.
The wind was whipping but with the sunshine it was not bad at all. My beautiful wife caught the first keeper of course.
We fished there for a while and the conditions got better so we ran further north and stayed there the rest of the time. Water got up to 67 and we mostly fished in 5’.
My wife and I wound up with a limit of trout(1 caught after picture) a bonus Spanish and a 17” flounder. Anything with pink was the color of the day. My wife also caught the last keeper of the day.
After that fish we eased over to our friends boat to see if they were ready to head in. They did almost as well and since they wanted to try to make it to Wilson’s before they closed we headed in about 3:30.
We got the fish cleaned while the girls got baths and then we got ready to head to Perry for dinner. We barely made it to Wilson’s before they closed. After eating we went back to the room. I got a cup of coffee and we all relaxed on the deck before turning in for the evening.
Saturday morning there was more wind and no sun to warm us. So we dressed up like the michelin man and headed out. It was brrrr.
We bit the bullet and ran all the way to where we ended up Friday and started fishing. The water temp was down to 61-62 but the fish still bit. However the wind was brutal. My wife and I managed our limit of trout.
Again my wife caught the last one after this count check picture was taken lol. Our friends caught fewer trout today. Of course the sun finally came out when we decided to head in. After getting all ready we headed out to dinner in Steinhatchee Saturday.
Went to Kathy’s Crab
shack. The food was excellent. Best shrimp I’ve had in a while. After that we went back to Keaton and walked on the pier. 
Despite the weather I had such a great weekend with my beautiful wife and great friends. Can’t wait to do it again.
