Hit the bay Sat. morning in search for reds. instead spent the morning watching the boat anchored 40yds from pulling them up one after another. He must have been in the "spot".
I ended up with 2 specs and finally caught 1 red while picking up to leave along with 40 crokers. I was fishing on the north side of the bay and was shocked to have caught specs, surprised not to see reports from the cove and trash pile the specs have to be there.

pics of specs and red with a few crokers.

I have caught specs in the area i was in but it was unexpected due to not hearing any reports of any specs being caught in the bay.

Good catch man. Id take that any day

Nice catch. The speck reports have been real spoty if the weather straighten up we should start catching a few, dang wind needs to lay for a few days where we can get out and find them. Lol

Thats no lie the wind was bad. I had trouble a couple of time with my anchor holding. The water was decent considering the conditions though.
