Speckled Trout CLOSURES /FISH KILLS Caused by Frigid Water

Speckled trout are dying off rapidly after bay temps drop from record cold winter. As a result there is a FULL CLOSURE TO SPECKLED TROUT IN VA UNTIL JULY 31 and NC UNTIL JUNE 31. Hopefully they make a speedy recovery and are looking good by july. Alot of the dying fish are trophy sized at that!

New Lures In The Line-Up - SALTWATER TAKEOVER

So this lure making stuff is addictive. With parts not running a whole lot considering you get them in lots of 100,  I have started expanding here and there. This week I starting making my own classic style DucknBuck Classic Spinnerbaits, Saltwater Spinners, and Spinning Jigs. These are much heavier weight wire, larger blades, and stouter hooks. The jig heads are 1/4oz weight and tipped with a 3/0 sickle hook that really locks on a fish, and the wide gap hooks on the spinners are 3/0. All of this equals up to one heck of a fish catching piece of hardware! They are going to tear up the specks, redfish, striped bass, largemouth, and probably Pike as well.

Check'em out and if you like them, I have some for sale on EBAY or on Etsy. You can click on either of these to go directly to my listings.
