There are many lure options available to help you catch more speckled trout. Here are some of our most popular lures: Chuggers (MirrOlures), Rapala XRap Slashbait and Heddon Super Hook. These lures will imitate speckled trout's erratic movements to draw strikes from the fish.
MirrOlures
The 52M line of MirrOlures makes a great bait to speckled trout fishing. This bait is very similar in design to the MirroDine suspendingbait. This bait is larger in profile and is designed to imitate grunts or pin fish. It works well on grassy flats in four to eight feet of water. The 52M series' "19" color pattern makes it especially effective on water that is both weedy or has lots of vegetation. This lure can be used with a simple pause and twitch retrieve. It will remain motionless in its strike zone. Speckled trout love this lure and will strike it with abandon.
This top water lure is ideal for targeting predators inshore. You can use the MirrOlures topdog for a parallel casting, within two-foot of mangrove branches. This will attract snook and redfish as well as trout. Popa Dog or Atop Dog are other effective top-water lures that are suspended in the water.
Chuggers
Chuggers are actually overgrown poppers. The flattened, concave head and long skirt create plenty of vibration when they are twitched. This makes them an excellent choice for attracting smallmouth bass, spotted bass, and schooling stripers. However, chuggers don't work as well as larger predators such muskie and pike. Here are some tips for catching more of these beautiful fish.
Firstly, try a weedless spoon. These can be used over oyster bars or seagrass beds. These lures can flutter so you need to tie the knot with a small swivel and retrieve them slowly. Particularly effective are shad tail lures. Another popular topwater lure is the MirrOlure Popa Dog. This lure works best in shallow water about 6 feet deep.
Rapala X-Rap Slashbait
Rapala's newest lure, X-Rap. It is equipped with a long casting mechanism and an irresistible rattling sound. This bait is fashioned with Permasteel 3X hooks fastened to stainsless steel through the body wire. This bait is ideal for large speckled trout because of its aggressive darting action, rolled tail and rolling tail.
The X-Rap shines regardless of the fishing situation. Its small profile looks like a small, meal-sized mullet. The X-Rap will sink quickly to two to four inches and is an ideal choice when fishing from shorelines. This bait will attract big-meal speckled rainbow trout.
Heddon Super Hook
It is important to learn how to use the correct lure to catch a trophy speckled trout. Speckled trout will also strike frogs, rats, and fish lures so it is important to know how to use the right lures. These lures work well with spoons, which have a high-contrast eye and make water movement. This lure is long-lasting, so it won't fade in the water.
These lures feature brightly colored hook bodies and realistic-looking eyes. These lures are more durable than other lures and will not break or snap unlike other lures. Because they can churn up large amounts of water, they can be used for topwater fishing. They are extra sharp so your prey will stay where they want.

How can I bait my hooks
Attach a piece of meat to your hook to bait it. Tie the meat around the hook's eye.
Which rod should I choose?
Graphite composite is the best rod for fly-fishing. This composite is strong and lightweight with excellent casting characteristics. To learn how to cast better, you will need to practice with graphite rods.
Statistics
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- Orvis, Simms, and Fishpond have been making some of the best packs and vests for a long time, and it seems like 90% of the anglers around the area use these brands. (troutandsteelhead.net)

How To
How to fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing means catching fish from freshwater streams, lakes and rivers. Bass, catfish, crappie and trout are the most commonly caught fish. These species can all be caught using several methods. Trolling, trolling, trolling, spinnerbaits and flyfishing are all popular methods.
Finding a good area to catch any kind of fish is the first step. This often means finding a spot close to your water source. Next, choose the equipment you want.
For live bait to work, choose something that looks familiar and appealing to the fish. Live bait can include worms or minnows as well as crickets, frogs or bloodworms.
Artificial lures can also be used. They are made from plastics, woods, feathers or metals. Artificial lures come a variety of sizes. They mimic natural prey like minnows, crawfish and shiners as well as grubs and other aquatic animals. Many people prefer to use lures because they don't require much skill to cast them into the water. Easy to set up, and easy to retrieve when they reach their target.
Casting is a great way to learn if you don't want to use live bait, or just want to experiment with new techniques. Casting is one of the easiest ways to catch fish. Casting is easy and requires no special skills.
All you need is a rod, reel, line, sinkers, floatant, hooks, and possibly weights. You can cast with just a pole. Casting is as easy as holding the rod vertically high above the water. Then you slowly lower the tip of the rod until it touches the water. As soon as it does this the line starts to unwind from the reel. You can let go of your rod when the line reaches its full length and the lure will fall into the water.
Trolling is another technique for catching fish. Trolling uses a boat to propel a lure through water.
In conclusion, fishing is fun and rewarding. There are many options for fishing. Each has its pros and cons. While some methods are more straightforward than others, they all require practice and patience.
