Hey guys, haven't posted in a while. The last couple years I've mostly been doing inshore/shallow water fishing in the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries in my little 16' Lowe. Speckled trout are my primary target but I get lots of other stuff too. This year was particularly good for redfish. I made my annual trip to Minnesota back in May/June and spent one weekend fishing in Clearwater FL earlier this month (snook and sheepshead pics), but other than that I've been almost entirely focused on VA saltwater. I joined the Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program a little over a year ago and I've really been enjoying participating in that. Last winter I started making my own speck lures and have been using them a lot, in fact in the last 6 weeks or so I've hardly used anything else.
Anyway, I probably won't get out again this year, so here are some of my favorite fish pics from 2021. I'll try to put them in chronological order.

Tremendous year Bryan! Some nice gater like trayts there. I especially liked the 15+ spot tail!
Well done!

Well as it turns out my year wasn't quite over. I was able to get out yesterday and finished 2021 with a bang! I was after specks and caught 36 of them, most 16-18" with 7 that were 20"+.
My last fish of the day, and the year, was a doozy. At 4:30 I got freight trained but my 15lb fluoro held up, and half an hour later I was sliding a 47" striper into the boat! Sadly my phone's battery was almost dead so I only got a few mediocre pics before releasing her, but I can't complain too much!

Took a few minutes to revive her after that long battle, but she swam off healthy.
