That’s a stud. In NC?
Damn nice one!
I rode over the river earlier and looked off to the distance to one of my good trout holes and told myself this is a good trout fishing day. Overcast gloomy days are when they bite the best.

Sorry you released that fish.
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
Very nice! I caught my first one in Panama City last summer fishing with Pinfish and a bobber. They are fun!
That little creek has produced the NC State record more than once.
what type of boat is that?
I took trout for granted while living in SW Florida.... but I certainly miss throwing topwater across a grassflats for them. I need to work on learning to catch them consistently outside of the state of Florida especially like the one in the picture.

“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us...”
― Henry David Thoreau
Its all about knowing and following their cycles. Like in the summer they are closer to the ocean, water cooling sends them from the inlet area and up the big river where they stay for a month or two
and then right about now, they are slowly coming out of the middle of the big river and heading up in the creeks (going to lay eggs in creek), more will come in here over the next few months.
These huge trout are females. They lay their eggs in March/April and head back into the big river from the creeks, hang out there a month or two and then slowly head toward the ocean/inlets as water warms.
Easy peezy. We go to different spots depending on the month. The colder it gets this winter, the further up these creeks they go, assuming enough water. When its freezing, I go up and fish almost to the creek's dead in. They like this area because these creeks have a dark mud bottom and are about 10 to 12 ft with 25 to 30 ft holes.

I love spotted trout...jealous.

This is the time of year to get after them. All caught on artificial.
