Keller Bay Day Trip
July 10, 2010
 
Trip Description:
 
 
Kellyer Bay is located between Lavaca Bay (Port Lavaca) and Caranchua Bay seems to always have lots of trout. Some days you can catch about 50 trout.. and keep about 5 to 7.  In the cooler months they are bigger and we have caught them. There are several locations to find fish in Keller Bay. We usually find trout in the areas with grass. If you can see dark grass you will usually be catching trout.    The reds seem to be nearer to the south shore and along the ledges along the shore.
