.....especially when the ER is a hot spot for monster speckled trout. The ER in this case is the Elizabeth River and is a virtual mecca for speck anglers this time of year through late February/early March of each year. Countless citations are landed every year in this location, the trick is to have patience and they will come.
I was once again fortunate enough to fish with my good friend PhillyJoe. We landed 45 specks and 1 schoolie striper over the course of 5 hours of fishing. We used two lures the entire day - soft plastics in white or electric chicken, and a MirrOlure.
Joe even landed and released a 26" citation - his 4th this week alone. I had what would have been my first citation come unhooked right at the side of the kayak as he was being positioned to be netted.
Here's the full report:
