Falling closely behind redfish, speckled trout are one of the most sought-after inshore gamefish. While most anglers look to score a limit during the fall flurry, few visit the coast during the winter because the weather is too cold or the fish aren’t available. […]
It’s tough to beat the speckled trout bite in the fall along the coast of the Carolinas. And for most anglers, nothing tops catching them on topwater lures. It’s the perfect combination of sight, sound, and feel that you can only get from using surface lures, and trout are very cooperative at this game, especially in low-light conditions like early morning.

Ever wanted to fish an artificial reef but didn’t feel like you had enough boat to go offshore? Maybe you didn’t want to chance a risky inlet or challenge questionable weather conditions on the ocean? […]
Survey a handful of trout fishermen about their favorite lures for specks, and you’re liable to see several answers repeated a number of times: topwaters, soft-plastic shrimp under a popping cork, soft-plastic grubs on jigheads. […]
While most anglers who catch summer trout are targeting spotted seatrout exclusively, other species will torpedo lures intended for specks. One of the best of these bonus species is the gray trout, aka weakfish, so-called for its weak mouth. However, a mouthful of treble hooks that snags one usually holds it tightly all the way to the boat. […]
The summer sun beats down and bakes South Carolina’s inshore waters, but even though the heat can be rough during daylight hours, each day starts off a little cooler under dawn’s early light. […]
The fall season is a great time to catch speckled trout along the NC/SC border. […]
Popping corks are great tools for attracting trout and redfish, and they are not one-trick ponies. […]
A special “called” meeting of the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission has been scheduled for Nov. 22 in Morehead City to revisit an agreement on the Spotted Sea Trout Fisheries Management Plan that apparently isn’t satisfactory to commercial fishermen. […]
