Probably the most difficult task in sharing inshore saltwater fishing knowledge for species such as speckled trout and others, is the environment, currents, marshes, flats and topography differ greatly in different states and regions. Hopefully, a few of these things that work for us, can work for you as well.
While a good many folks across the country have stowed fishing gear, winterized boats and eagerly await the spring, many anglers here in the Southeast are full throttle!

More and more, it seems, anglers are now keying in and targeting these delicious fish.
