Spring Speck fishing 2024

Edit:  Title should be Spring SPECK fishing.(Now fixed)  lol

Didn't get out a lot this spring due to wind and some minor surgery. Made a couple trips in the boat here in VA and one long weekend shore/Wade fishing in DE. Can't remember ever wishing I had brought my gloves when fishing in May but it happened a couple times this year. I'm ready for summer temps.

DE trip was ridiculously tough. Had 55 degree temps and 20mph wind the whole weekend in early May. Got a couple flounder and one blue for the smoker.

Caught this tagged trout 2 weeks ago. Still waiting to get the tag data. Wasn't one of mine.

Been getting a bunch of these little guys.

Mostly been a mix of trout, reds, and stripers.

Last Saturday I caught 3 nearly identical specks, all super fat and all between 22-23".

HAHA, I never saw fat specks like the ones you caught!  I guess obesity is contagious in the USA!  Definitely some harsh conditions for you, but you always have epic events when heading out to the land of 10k lakes!
