Carolina Rig Gator Speckled Trout

In this episode conditions are really too good. And what I mean is that I prefer light wind as opposed to no wind. As you'll see it worked out okay! For details about my Carolina Rig, check out previous video. Thanks for watching.
Hope you'll follow me on Instagram. I post many photos from trips that I don't film.

I fish the Pamlico in avon, my personal best is 29.5. Last year we caught so many 20+ specs it was silly. All artificial, mostly z man. Glad to see your a member of the RO20 club. Keep it up

[@haltysalty7537]

I've been hearing some good reports for years about the back side of Avon, I guess it's all true. Thanks for watching!

Nice fish man!

Great night of fishing and a 27" trout on camera that is awesome! Hey what kind of popping cork were you using? Had a great rattle to it and it was pretty compact. Any certain color z-man under it that you see makes the biggest difference? Thanks!

[@haltysalty7537]

Four Horseman Popping Cork, well built and yes, loud. I usually start with natural colors. D.O.A Cal Shad 3" is a goto

Thank you Rayme, I was definitely fortunate!

[@Ramanou14]

Thank you. Great video again. I have one question please : how did you rig this SHAD ?!!! ... I thought you used natural baits. Thank you :)

[@haltysalty7537]

The smaller trout were caught by trailing the jig and swim tail "shad" under the popping cork. When you pop the cork it replicates fish feeding which attracts fish. Thanks for watching!

[@bruceswanger2020]

Heading there tomorrow, i have fished the beach many times, just started getting into fishing the sound. Any tips around Nags Head, i dont have a boat. been to little bridge a couple of times with no luck, just want my first speck, thanks in advance if you have time to answer

[@haltysalty7537]

Park at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, bridge side parking lot. Walk out from there. You'll see other kayakers and wade fisherman. Trout and drum are there now. Stop at TWs Kitty Hawk and get some DrumBumYumYum baits. Good luck.

What kind of bait were you using on those Carolina rigs?? That was a good night.

[@haltysalty7537]

On this night it was all live mullet, 4-5". I'll often use mud minnows or striper minnows and sometimes cut crab. In a pinch I'll rig gulp. Thanks for watching!

Awesome bro! What a blessing!

Are you using J hooks? If you want to take care of the fish, don't use J hooks.

[@haltysalty7537]

Circle hooks. Every video, every trip. Thanks for watching.

[@haltysalty7537]

You should check out my Carolina Rig videos, you'd dig it

@@haltysalty7537 Ok, awesome. Maybe the camera angle was weird but it looked like a J at one point. Our NC fish need all the help they can get!
