Very Swift Incoming Tide
I was surprised when we dumped the tin boat in at Mashes Sands when my temp gauge registered 66 degrees.
The past few times out the water had dipped to 60 degrees.
I still had my Mega Bait jerk bait tied on and couldn't wait to chuck it in the swift incoming tide at the middle bar.
The third cast had a small trout to the boat.
The fourth cast a 19" speck nailed the bait, and jumped like a largemouth. He put up quite a battle in the swift water.
We eased back and forth along the back side of the bar and caught 12 trout there. Nancy got a real nice 18" speckled trout on a gulp.
I caught some on a new color Gulp I found while in Charleston visiting Hunter, Disco Prawn.
We eased over to Chaires Creek and we added two more trout to the total.
We fished about 2 1/2 hours and caught 14 total specks, a pretty good day for mid December.
