Big Specks are Snapp’in!
Hello All,

Great weather forecast and the Specks have been biting!

What it’s all about! Father/Son birthday trip…..Erin’s 18th and a Speck to remember! It’s why I do this crazy job!
Fishing in May was a May to remember….lots of wind caused problems but still a record breaking May for Specks in my boat. Really good stuff! Check out my latest newsletter at http://www.icontact-archive.com/vPmWQS8mpdRnLJA5MkMWcnSyDsfYoEbL?w=3
I even got lucky this week!
Mother nature has not made things easy…..every day this week I’ve been seeing winds in the 15 to 20 knot range at some point during the day. Fishing in the islands for Specks is “clear water” dependent. Without clear water catching Speckled Sea Trout can be very difficult if not impossible.
Even with the wind I’ve been able to find some clear water and Specks ready to hit a lure. No easy task though…..definetly covering lots of ground from Bloodsworth down to Smith Island and places in between. Even though I’m running from Buzz’s Marina in Ridge miles are still adding up daily. Running an average of 62 miles a day…..last year I was racking up 79 miles a day average.
Way to beat up on Joe and Mike! Allan, you are the “Speck” u later!
Allan got in on some great action by besting his buddies Joe and Mike on a recent Walk-on Trip……good job brother!!!!!
Allan was slinging some gulp baits for Specks this week and did right well landing several. The rod he is using is a beautiful custom rod from Shore Tackle on Kent Island…. www.thetacklecove.com
First Red Drum of the season caught by my man “Ski”…….hoping more of those Reds make a showing!
Nice one L.T.!!!!
Pretty Shirt and Speck!
I’ll be fishing tomorrow with a crew gambling on mother nature to give us a “hair bit” of a break with the wind. I’m getting really tired out there battling difficult conditions…..ready of a break from mother nature!
I’m currently booked solid for June exept for a couple of days in the last week. If the fishing and weather cooperates I’ll offer some 1/2 day Walk-On’s from 330 till dark. If I get any short notice cancels I’ll immediately throw up a walk-on trip notification here and in my newsletter. Take care all and good luck fish’in!
Posting from my iPhone……had a call on the way to the boat stating my Tuesday, 28 May 2013 trip had to cancel. I have 2 folks for the trip right now and can fish 3 more.
Here’s the deal:

If u are interested in going give me a call to reserve your spot. It may go quick so call as soon as you know u want to go!
One of Many Great Specks to Start the 2013 Season!!!!
So far this season in the islands I’ve seen plenty of up and downs in the water temperature ball park. Typically by late May we’ll be in the upper 70’s water temperature…..this year we’ve touched on the mid-70’s after a day or two of nice sun and warm temps. However, we’ve had plenty of windy days and chilly nights which knocks the water temperature down and makes the Specks a bit finicky. On the days of sun and warming water temps the Specks have cooperated really nicely. Many great Specks on most of my trips this year into the eastern shore islands.
MIckey with a great Maryland Speck!
I’ve only had a very few flat calm beautiful days in May…….I hate that! However, even with clouds and some breeze great Specks have been had by a number of anglers using light tackle and a variety of lures like BKD’s, Gulps, Storm Shads ect……..One thing is for sure on all of my trips this year…..you never know from day to day where they will be. Not 2 days have been all that similar in where fish have been caught. I’ve covered many areas each day, blanked one day in a spot and the next day a few there…….next day nothing there and several in other areas. Moving around has been key for sure!
Great young angler with a heck of a speck!
This young man worked off the bow of the boat with his dad on a nasty windy day in the islands. The bite was tough but he persisted all day…..he was rewarded with some really nice Specks! Great job!!!
The technique working best for me so far has been slow rolling the bottom with some abrupt twitch…..overall slow forward speed but good twitch! Current rips around structure has been the most productive with weed edges coming in second. I think as the water warms and stays above 70 and heads to 80 the bite will really turn on. Last year the month of August was the most prolific Speck month of the year……..looking forward to a great year with the Specks!
What a Speck!
Colorful fish and fisherman!
