11/19 – BIG SPECKS, PUPS, Flatties and Albies…
Today was a great day, with some great company - I took out Steve and Rett of New Bern - offshore fisherman who are really wanting to learn the ways of the inshore fisherman. Steve was stoked about learning to catch speckled trout as well as some puppy drum - if the conditions allowed. Well, the weather was beautiful and [...]
11/18 – Albies on the Fly, Specks and Pups
Today was day 2 with Greg and Pat of the Virginia fly fishers and we were after more albies on the fly. The fish were a bit less scattered that Tuesday the 16th but still hard to get on. But.

11/14 – BIG SPECKS + 8 POUND *CITATION* SPECKLED TROUT
With NE winds blowing 20-30knots, the conditions were not favorable for fly casting to albacore so I decided to go trout fishing with my two best buds - my fiance katie and Scott Crocker of www.shacklefordcharters.com. So we loaded up on live shrimp and headed out around 8:30am. Before trying some trout holes, we popped out of the inlet so [...]
