One of several citation Speckled Sea Trout this week!
Well folks……this has been a tough june! Fishing has been very good when mother nature lets me fish all my great areas. When the wind is persistant out of the south/southwest or any direction the islands get stained water all around them making Speck catching very difficult. Over the last several days I’ve had to fish in a couple of areas with grass and away from points. Only decent water I could find was in shallow water with grass. We haven’t gotten great numbers of Specks but some really big ones! Lures of choice have been Bass Kandy Delights and assorted gulp baits. I’m patiently waiting for calm seas and clear water around the islands.
A great speck caught in shallow grass on a windy day…..not easy…..had to work for it!!!! Great fish!!!!
Technique in the grass is tricky. Have to go really light weight on the jig…..1/8 or 1/4 ounce and work it over the grass and try not to snag floating grass……tough gig but some big trout in there! Gulp Swim Mullets and chartruese Glitter BKD’s ( www.basskandydelights.com )
Big Puppy Drum caught in the shallows! They are starting to show up good!
This whopper was caught today in the grass and wind! What a speck!
Looks like some decent weather in the future to target specks….I’ll be out everyday possible trying to make it happen in the islands!
