- The schools of speckled trout seem to be moving rapidly across a wide area in the last month. Anglers are finding stacked up trout in one area and then they are mostly gone a few days later.
Managing this situation takes some patience and time on plane to find where the school is on your day off. But if you keeping looking you will probably succeed in finding some fish, as we did in this video. Good luck out there.
As a reminder, the Release Over 20 and Pure Flats-Slick Lures trout tournament is coming to Hopedale on Jan. 20, 2024. Registering early will put in a raffle for a $250 rod and a box from Matrix Shad. You can do that by emailing Cliff Hall Jr. at chall@releaseover20.org

Nice... Iove the paul brown soft dines until the puffers get a taste! 🤙🦀🌴
I enjoyed u catching trout hand line style
There must be less forage for the trout south of the dam, interesting. Great video as usual.
Nice work Jon , was thinking about tomorrow but not favorable winds in that channel, so I’ll go see what’s left in the marsh in Delacroix , I believe it’s going to be a bad year for trout , no grass no bait no trout all over, in the marshes
I would have to agree. The conditions aren't so good now, so we'll see if the trout still hang around in January.
I ve been wanting to some Mirrodine lures but is confusing to me on which ones to get. They got sinking, suspended ones. Different sizes so I’ve never ordered any. lol.
Yep. After so many random gear breaks, I always bring an extra spinning and casting reel. Not glad to see it, but good to know I'm not the only one who runs into that.
Or it falls overboard, lol! Sorry I couldn't resist.
@@JonMillerFishing 🤣 I could have a nice vacation with the amount of stuff I've kicked off my deck.
Trout have been smaller in general this year.
Carzy stuff good fishing
Persistence pays off. Moving around until you find them. Who needs a reel when you’re an old time hand line fisherman😂.
Where can i find this cutter 110 pink and white?
Buy them online from Berkley. That's the only way I can get them.
What was the water temperature?
around 55-57 degrees
Who makes the softene lures?
Paul Brown which is now owned by Mirrolure.
Try lock tite on the new part. Stuff happens. I will try my luck Thursday. This video is very encouraging. Thanks.
Thanks
