Father’s Day Specks

I went out dark and early this morning to try and catch a speckled trout. It was still dark when I had my first bite. I hooked up my second bite and it did not feel like a houndfish. It was still dark and I was not sure what I had but it turned out to be a nice speck. Too dark to get a photo. Another cast and another bite. I thought I was in an epic trout bite and I’d guess it was epic for about 45 minutes. The sun got up, the wind shifted, the current changed and the bite stopped. During those 45 minutes, I caught and released 3 speckled trout and had a number of other bites. It was worth getting up early for that.
