Had a crew of four join us this spring morning for an early start on the water. March conditions were solid for our 3 Hour AM Quick Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures.
We focused on working the waters for speckled trout during our morning run. The crew stayed busy with their lines in the water, and we managed to connect with some quality speckled trout throughout the trip. These waters consistently produce good trout action, making it a reliable spot for our morning charters. We wrapped up the trip with some nice fish in the box and smiles all around.
