I took out Kay and Greg hoping to teach them a little bit about catching speckled trout on artificials in the marhses and local holes. As they learned, you don't have to toss live shrimp at the cape lookout rock jetty to catch specks! The bite was on early and we were hooking up on our first casts - the [...]

This morning was just one of those days - one of those perfect fall days like you wish everyday would be like.
