Topwater Speckled Trout in Port O'Connor, Texas

[@parkstephen]

It’s exciting when you hear that slam on the top water. Every. Single. Time.

[@TrailChaser]

It's definitely music. That and reds blowing up in the distance. Like the sirens calling to me.

[@sadglad2998]

Enjoyed that. Nice video. I felt like I was there. Love that topwater bite. It never gets old.

[@jsalterxpress.2480]

I live for those “explosions”. Trout and reds are so dang violent and fun to catch on lighter equipment. I had a great time watching.

[@richb9695]

I live in Arizona and can only make it to Texas about 3 times a year. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you. Enjoyed the blowups!

[@samhiebert4507]

Man that is awesome that you literally slay it right in a spot that most people zoom past! Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for the great content.

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks, it's always amazed me how that spot holds solid specks. They don't seem to mind the boat traffic. The dolphins that stay close, is about the only thing that will kill the bite when it's going good.

[@tidesfishing9534]

That bite was crazy! Just kayak fished right down from there 2 weeks ago! We caught some decent fish and made a video on it! Keep up the great fishing!

[@shrimp1176]

TIDES FISHING i enjoyed that vid, you guys should fish it more!

[@TrailChaser]

That was a good video you put up. Quality stuff for sure.

[@gabrielmelchor9603]

Love your videos. Show some amazing action keep up the work. I've only been fishing for 5yrs and you get some of the best action I see for reds and trout

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks for the love brother! I wouldn't call it work, way too much fun.

[@BLKo2GT]

Cant wait for my first trip to POC. Awesome video man.

[@catchandrelease6196]

Great video as usual! My old heart is homesick for the mid-Texas coast. suggestion - more often state what lure/bait your using and the color. Keep it up!

[@RXAngler]

That was a good topwater day bro. Excellent!

[@TrailChaser]

What?? That was only about 20-30 minutes. The rest of the day is coming up in the next video. I got schools, sightcasting, a huge red on topwater.. It was a good day that day for sure. Thanks Nick... See you on Wednesday!!!

[@daviddura1172]

Topwater !!!!!! Love it! Waiting for part 2!

[@marksfishingchannel9923]

Awesome fishing .

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks Mark! That was actually only about the first 20-30mins of the day. The rest of the day is coming up in the next video. We need to get together sometime and catch some reds. If you're free on Wednesday, you should join us.(Mark, Nick) Email me if you're interested. [e-mail]

[@hectorvaldez2959]

Awesome video! Love that top water action. Is that an Outcast Mamba that you are using? What length and rod specs/ action are you using with that rod?

[@TrailChaser]

Yes sir, that's a 7' mamba with a med/fast tip. I love it for walking the dog. I can get a full swing walk with very minimal wrist movement.

[@jakemcnutt7712]

Nothing better than Topwater brother 😜🤙🏽 That foul hooked tout was a pig! Nice limit for a short paddle across the ditch😂😜👍🏼

[@Marcos_reyna]

Awesome catches!!

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks Marcos!

[@jerry-381]

Solid stringer! That had to be during the week. No way a kayaker could survive fishing there in a weekend lol

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks Jerry, I left that day with 5 specks and 3 reds. You're right that was on a Wednesday(8/7/19) I usually don't fish that area on the weekends. If I'm fishing the weekend, I try to go somewhere boats with a prop can't get to.

[@SaltwaterHooked]

Nice job sir ! Quick limit ha! , awesome action like always 👍👍

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks bro, I love it. My next video is from the same day sightcasting reds and even got one big'un on topwater. It was a great day for sure.

[@SaltwaterHooked]

@@TrailChaser cant wait to see it bud ! #YOURDAMAN!

[@GettinSalty]

Very nice specs 👍👍Great job , 🎣🎣Tight lines

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks, the next video is from the same day. I left them biting there to go find the reds, and I found the hell out of them.

[@adamfuentes3761]

Instant limit! Just add water!! Awesome video!

[@davidlewis9572]

Nice trout , gotta love topwater bite . Set the hook brother

[@SellsZac]

Have you ever considered switching to the new 13.5" fishing paddleboards?

[@TrailChaser]

I have, but I couldn't see any real advantages. What are the benefits?

[@SellsZac]

@@TrailChaser on my paddleboard I'm significantly higher in the water, lets me see snook I'm sight casting a lot better.

[@marshmadness3619]

Awesome topwater video bud.

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks, Here's a little behind the scenes info: That's the same topwater plug I've used in all my topwater vids. I think I'm going to retire it soon before I loose it.

[@marshmadness3619]

Lol.

[@marshmadness3619]

The clearcoat on mine is gone.

[@smcewen7]

Awesome!You might need a deeper net though👍💪🎣

[@TrailChaser]

I settled on that one a couple of years ago, and so far it's the best of what I need in a net. If it weren't for the treble hooks I probably wouldn't use it. I stopped using it on reds since it tends to split their tails. I'm sure it don't kill them, but it opens them up for infections and parasites.

[@colekorczynski2175]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS please use 3JD next brackish gold works really well for stained I'm 11 years old and I love using artfishle

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks, I've never heard of those 3JD lures until now. I went and looked them up, and they definitely look legit. I couldn't find the brackish gold, but it sounds like my kind of lure. If I weren't hooked on Slayer Inc stuff I'd definitely give them a try.

[@colekorczynski2175]

@@TrailChaser thank you and your one of my favorite channels

[@colekorczynski2175]

I'm fixing to buy me some of those Slayer Inc lures thanks to you

[@jamescobble6518]

You should check out Anglers Arsenal in Victoria man. Zach can get you hooked up with the good stuff!

[@TrailChaser]

I've been meaning to drop be and check the place out. I just stay soo damn busy lately. How have you been doing?

[@jamescobble6518]

[@chrishernandez2821]

Bad ass video bro

[@TrailChaser]

Thanks Chris, I love topwater specks. Especially when they can actually eat the plug accurately.

[@Terry6128]
