Galveston Bay Speckled Trout

[wesleydnunder]

I took Monday off and went out to the bay in my kayak. I had live shrimp and soft plastics. I caught undersized trout on the live bait all morning. It wasn't until I ran out of shrimp and started throwing a Bass Assassin that I caught these three keepers. The biggest was around 20" and the smallest around 16".

Nice, Have you ever chased them with a fly rod?

Not yet. I know a couple guys that use streamers on fly rods for trout and reds but I don't have the equipment. I'd like to try it some day though.

I have never fished from a kayak. It sounds fun. I have only lake fished and caught trout. Congratulations. Looks yummy.

It was. I filleted it and cooked it fresh for lunch the same day.
