Trip Summary

Had a solid crew of five join us for an early morning summer run. The day started right at dawn with perfect conditions for getting on the water. We launched with Today We Fish Charters ready for our Bay Fishing Trip. We focused our efforts using bottom fishing techniques to target the speckled trout that call these waters home. The crew worked through drift fishing patterns while we mixed in some trolling to cover more ground. These bay waters are perfect for this kind of fishing because the structure and current create ideal holding spots for trout. We managed to put some nice speckled trout in the boat throughout the morning, and the crew stayed busy with steady action. The five anglers worked well together, rotating through different spots and keeping the lines wet. Bottom fishing proved most productive as we found fish holding in the deeper pockets. We wrapped up the trip with great catches and smiles all around.
