Trip Summary
Fishing has been good all spring and into summer...but the wind! The trick has been finding salt water in this period of record rainfall. For months, the Keith Lake chain of marsh lakes held a pocket of relatively high salinity and a BUNCH of trout. The arrival of summer heat and more rain forced these fish out, and Keith Lake fishing has been more productive for flounder and redfish.
The big, bull reds are stacked up on the jetty ends, but a constant south wind has limited access. Pogies (menhaden) are in the surf along with all the big stuff that eats them...reds, jacks, sharks and a few tripletail showing up. Again, high onshore winds have severally limited anybody's ability to get outside the jetties.
If you want trout, the channel south of the causeway has been the only game in town, save a few days where the Keith Lake cut has produced a few.
Down South Lures in chartreuse and Trout Support lures in various colors have been the most constant producers, along with pink Skitterwalks on those rare days when the fish are on top.
