Speckled Trout At Radio Island, NC

Dater-10/30/2015
Time- Mid afternoon Till dark
Location - Crystal Coast of N.C.
Fishermen- Todd, Colby, Mack N., Myself
Lures- 1/4 -3/8 oz Jig heads with  4 inch grubs
and squid for bottom fishing


We hit up a Tidal creek in the afternoon wading and throwing Jigs.  The bite was good on an outgoing tide to slack tide.    Best technique was to wade out to chest deep water and cast  up current and let it sink to the Bottom and just very slowly hop it.  We caught numerous specs on different colored Jigs .  Most were small with only a few being keeper size but they were fun. Pretty sure these are/were my first Speckled Trout.

I also Bottom fished throughout the afternoon to take a break from wading.  We caught a lot of what I think are Hogfish on a 2 hook bottom rig using squid for bait.

Here are a few pics...
