Speckled Trout- Sneaky Strategies!

- On this episode I discuss my thoughts on boats and anglers affecting speckled trout movement. I throw everything but the kitchen sink this morning but all they would eat is live bait. The truth is, this was not a great morning for feeding, but live bait will often produce some fish when artificial will not. Just like a Large Mouth Bass, a trout is only going to let that minnow sit in his area for so long before he's had enough.

Fine episode, some really nice fish. Thanks for the "how to" info. Much Appreciated.
Man.. this was a great video! What an awesome day for you out there. It looked like an amazing day, calm, no boat traffic and nice trout on the hook. I would be lying if I said I were not jealous! Have not been able to get out there for a few weeks now and I’ve got the shakes! As always… thanks for posting high quality videos that include great info and insight. Look forward to the next.
Thanks buddy, you better get out there soon, it's getting good!
Great trip!
Like seeing you in kayak stealth mode and what a great bycatch!
Thanks Gregg. Yeah not often to catch all three of those species in the back of a creek.
Awesome! Gas prices and responsibilities have put a damper on my trips to the coast and it's killing me. Keep them coming atleast then I can see fish. Haha
Understand, do my best!
hahaha, im living vicariously through Halty all the way up here in Nuuuuuuu Yawk!
@@secretjourney4815 dang, that's interesting. A fish out of water I'd say.
Hay salty I look forward to your videos, always good to try new things. I have been checking out some new places to go with my yak, I'm not as stable in one as you are. Tight lines and look forward to the next one.
Thanks George, good luck out there!
Great vid as always!
Thanks Gus
Grreat to see another video from you! As always, creative camera angles. Those trout are such beautiful fish--especially nice ones like you were catching. A little surprise multi-species action, eh? With live bait, you never know what will bite! Great action and tips on the slip bobber rig. I've used those a lot when fishing for catfish under a float so I can easily adjust the depth--especially if I need to fish deeper than my rod is long! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks Joe. Yeah, great morning for this one.
Great video.
Pretty work 👍👍👍 good video
Thanks buddy! Good to hear from you.
Another great video and spot on with the boat traffic and the way it pushes the fish! It will cut the bite off quick. Appreciate your insight!
Thank you
You guys are so right regarding boat presence impacting fish in the area. Also, noise within a boat, like steeping heavily or jumping down from a front or rear platform. I was out with a buddy fishing in a similar creek a month or so back and threatened to throw him over if he kept stomping around (he was smacking and dodging mosquitoes / biting flies! Haha)
Great video!
Thanks bro!
“Y’all this is a good fish.” Nice job. Nice fish.
Thanks DJ
Good video!! Thanks!
Thank you sir!
Good video! It would be nice to see more POV angles especially the strike!
Right on, here ya!
Love your videos. The way ur channel is set up is always just short,sweet, to the point. Not a bunch of shout out/sell out type stuff going on yet still quality footage, catching,and tactics being listed. Would love to fish with u some day. I'm in Virginia Beach so not too far from you I don't think.
Thanks Austin. Are you trout fishing up there right now? I've been seeing some nice pics on Instagram from your area.
Yesir.... Every day is different. Small to big, artificial. All the way to to mud minnow and cut bait(to mullet and pinfish ) on popping cork believe it or not
Trout are all in the ER right now thou. I've been staying in Lynnhaven inlet. I feel like where ur fishing in this video and some previous videos have a lot of the same characteristics as the Elizabeth river(grew up on eastern branch)
I've never fished up there, but I feel a trip is due
I was checking out the slip float you were using… is that a stick / peg style stopper? Just curious as I may give it a try. I like using slip float in cold weather with live bait. Been using the Betts Lures Billy Bay slip bobbers (based out of Fuquay Carine NC)…they utilize the slip/line knot. Great to fish with but you have to toss the slip knot and use a new one, if you are switching off lures on the same pole. Also, plan on trying the circle hooks as you mentioned, in lieu of my goto treble hooks.
It is the peg style. I've used the Billy Bay too and they work good. I think the peg style have better visibility in low light. I've experimented with treble hooks and they hook fish good but live bait tends to come off due to the smallness of hook.
Thanks for confirming. Will give that rig a try, as it obviously works!

Some studs brother. Keep up the videos! Its been a while. Looks like you might waterfowl outta that yak. Cmonnow. We need to see some ducks falling from the sky.
Lol, that's a trained eye my friend.
@@haltysalty7537 Heck yea! Im a country boy from upstate NY. Moving down to Onslow Co. there next year sometime. Between growing fruit and veggies, I plan to be consuming alot of fish protiens. (and duck!)
Your one of the genuine personalities here on YT. Your love for the outdoors shines through. Im learning alot through your techniques. Ive got a couple of old beat up yaks, sprayed up in camo too! You dont need alot of fancy gear to get into it. Keep the videos up. You have a teachers heart. Your subs should be much higher, and will grow as you crank out the vids. Best wishes from 628 miles away.
I haven't fished new river in Onslow County but they crush the trout all year long. You'll have it dialed in in no time!
Right On and I’m not even through with the video 👍👊
Lol, thanks
Hi Halty salty! I’m at 407 subscribers now.
Heck yeah!
@@haltysalty7537 I am catching up to you! Well not really 😂
You'll blow past me in no time, trust me.
@@haltysalty7537 😂 ok thank you Mr. Kevin!
Hi Halty Salty I have a question. What do most TH-camrs use to edit videos? Thank you 🙏
How far in the river will the travel? I’m in Wilmington and have heard stories deep in fresh water
In the winter they will go deep into the interior. Also can depend on how far salinity pushes up river. At present time it is very far up rivers in NC due to lack of rain.
what depth are you looking for in the creeks? I've heard you mention "deep water" but give no reference to what that is?
I like a creek in winter that has up to 6 or 7 ft depth minimum. Some of the creeks I fish are as deep as 15'. I believe when the temp drops below 45 degrees for consecutive days, large trout will not tolerated the 3-5 foot range. Small trout, 12-17" will still stick around in the shallower water but most of the big girls are looking for depth and consistent temps that won't freeze. The creek in this video, when the air warmed up the next week, all the trout moved right out. It's a temperature/timing thing. If you're cold and uncomfortable, they're probably there.
Are you using plain bass minnows halty and how to they do in that water
Yes sir, they do pretty well as long as they stay cool. When I'm on my boat I'll use a bubbler to make them last longer
what county are you fishing
Ron, I'd prefer not to say. I mean no disrespect and while it seems like a harmless question to answer, I wouldn't want to be responsible, in any way, for blowing up a spot where others fish too. There are only so many creeks in each county, savy researchers use process of elimination to pinpoint spots rather than putting in the work to find their own. And you can't hardly blame them, we all work our jobs all week and just want to maximize our on the water time. The take away I should have mentioned in the video is that this trip was after a week of cold temps and it pushed fish back into creeks. It's a protective mechanism trout have. I'm sure most creeks were good around this particular window, as opposed to open water and shoreline.
@@haltysalty7537 No disrespect, but you dont mind giving spots and landmarks to my fishing spots. Further from you home. So whats the difference. You want to keep you home spots secret while exposing very much other's home spots. hmm
Ron, if I've ever exposed one of your spots, it was not my intention. The few times I've named my location were very public fishing areas that are known to most. I always try to help others and offer advice where I can, because many have helped me, it's what the channel is about. I wish you tight lines.
@@haltysalty7537 I do like your videos. keep up the good work
What?? No flounder. lol Nice mixed bag. Can you tells us what county you are fishing?
I know right, the flounder would have been epic!
How come you don't keep any of these big trout filet them up fry them up bake them how come you don't keep them and eat them I don't like watching videos where you don't eat them all that time and energy and then when you take the gas boats you burn all that fuel and you'll catch and release what about a catch clean and cook I know you got some good recipes man
Hi Vincent, I actually do keep fish quite often. Trout and redfish are two of my favorites. I'll consider doing a catch and cook video, thanks for the suggestion.
