Cold water trout and reds December 20-21

Sunday after church I had Jeff Cronk from Carolina Fishing TV on my boat for a Wrightsville Beach fishing show. We caught over a dozen trout on soft plastics and two redfish. Not too bad for 48 degree water temps that fell throughout the afternoon. Wind was cold and 12- 15 mph but felt much worse. We started out at around 1:30 pm in search of speckled trout. We tried three good spot but the water was too murky from the rains that fell in the area two days prior. All in all a great day on the water given the conditions.

Monday I headed out about the same time as Sunday in the Cape Fear this trip. I was searching for some larger speckled trout and reds. First stop I pulled a 25 inch red that fell for a DOA Cal swimbait on a weighted hook. Then I switched gears and headed to some more protected water for some trout. I found them stacked up in 42 degree water. Caught over 25 in two hours on DOA Cal jerkbaits on jigheads. Most fish were in the 2-3.5 lb range and fairly aggressive.

Tight Lines,
Capt Ren
