Keaton Beach Fishing Report June 12-13 2015
We had our limits of trout on board One More Cast for 8 straight days ( May 29 through June 6th) despite the afternoon storms and high ( up to 88 degrees) water temperatures in the Gulf. We caught these trout on live pinfish rigged 48" under Back Bay Thunders in 5.6 - 6.5 feet of water. Our bite would not begin until the second half of the incoming tide and was best in the last hour of the rise.
The catfish have been horrific and mixed right in with the trout. We used up over 200 pinfish on one trip last week to land 18 keeper trout.
We had a 25" trout Thursday, June 4th for Benjamin Greenblatt of Columbus, Ga. one of three over 20" that day. This was Benjamin's first ever trip on the Gulf fishing for Speckled Trout and he said " this is a lot more fun than catching catfish in your pond Grandpa" Can we get an "Amen" on that one!
Pete Giddens of Ocilla , Ga. had a 31" fork Cobia and was quite disappointed when I tossed it back to grow up. The Giddens caught their limit of trout Saturday anyway without the cobia.
