BILLY PILLOW WITH A A GREAT TROUT TAKEN 8/13/2015

Keaton Beach Fishing report 8/ 21-22/2015

Trout fishing was fair when we had a breeze and tough when we didn't this past week as evidenced by the 7 trout Billy Pillow and I caught Thursday last .
Friday, I had David and Drew Parkman of Columbus, Ga. out and we landed 8 trout and two black Sea bass while fishing with live pinfish under Back Bay Thunders. Our fish came form 5.5 -6.5 feet of water and the water temps ran from 84 -88 in the afternoon.Saturday we dropped to 5 trout and two blacks as the w-i-n-d dropped to less than 5 knots most of the day. The trout simply didn't want to move in that warm of water with no breeze. The catfish wore us out despite where we might move and try. 

Look for trout to act pretty much the same this weekend, although the tides are backwards, so you will have to fish a falling tide with a.m. hi's. Live pinfish is the ticket as I have yet to catch a fish in the last three weeks on plastic.
