Well, the rumors of my demise turned out to be overblown. I have finally gotten back out on the water.
Scott and I rolled out of the creek at about 6:30 this morning. This marks the first time I have targeted Speckle Trout, and thank God I did. I caught this monster for my first speck citation. We headed to Mill Creek on the recommendation of my friend Ron. We did catch one speck but mostly just 18” stripers. We fished both sides around the creek and decided to go to Warehouse Creek for the rest of the morning. Again, catching small stripers and a white perch but no speck. Finally, this guy buried my voodoo shrimp on a popping cork.
The fish turned out to be 25.5” and 5.53 lbs—such a good day. It got breezy around 11:00, so we headed back to the dock.
I could keep us in a good position all day because I had my trolling motor whirring all day. That worked great for us and kept us in position at all times.
