Wow!! What a day!! We started at a little shell island boating about 10 1-3lbs Speckled Trout and one Redfish (guessing 30lbs) that desided to go south and never checked up breaking Matt's line. Next stop was a 5 mile long rock jetty with little marshy islands dotting the jetty. It wasn't a crazy bite, but steady 2-4lbs Specks were hitting the ice chest. Every point we trolling motored by held a Redfish or two. There is nothing like setting a hook into a Red and have him yank 30+ yards of drag before you realize what is happening. We ended the day limiting out on Specks and a limit of Reds. It was one of the heaviest limits I've caught in a long time. We filled a 120 quart ice chest with trout and had to get our drinks and snacks out of the seat ice chest to make room (a good problem to have :D ). Normally we wouldn't keep that many but everyone wanted some for different fish fries.

A few more pictures. One is of a big yellow mouth Speckled Trout. You can see their snaggled teeth.
