I went speckled trout fishing with Stan Simmerman this morning. We had some impressive topwater bites. We caught 5 speckled trout from 20.5 inches up to 26.5 inches long. We also caught a couple of bluefish. All of the trout were tagged and released. Two were registered for release citations: 25.5 and 26.5 inches.
Now, for the ugly truth…I caught the 20.5-inch trout. Stan caught all of the rest and none of his were close to being that small. Apparently, again I was brought along to net his fish and to take photographs.
