Yeah, that 'Journal Note' was incorrect. Should have read: Spotted Seatrout (speckled trout) We mainly only catch weakfish in the ocean and just inside the Cape Fear River in our area down here.
@gd3design63 they used to be caught in insane numbers around the Wrightsville jetty. Back in the 70s it wasn't a big deal to catch a 10lb weakfish off the jetty. I know some old timers that have told me nobody would raise an eyebrow at one until it was up around 13lb
This is an old video.. look at the fish finder and trolling motor.. Ricky is the man!
I appreciate you taking the time to comment! Ricky does have some amazing insights, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Saying the MR-17 is a new bait gave away this video's age 🤣 (I've actually watched this before, they must've just re-uploaded this one...a classic)
Great show, but a speckled trout is not a weakfish. They're closely related but are very much two separate species. Am I missing something?
