Saturday- 4 people(1 iffy) 94 nice specks, one spot with croakers.
Sunday- 3 people- 60 specks with some size mixed in, multiple spots, no croakers.
Moral of story, croakers.

I heard the Hot Water Canal has been on fire with big trout on live croakers the last three days.

We had mullet and live shrimp, big ones wanted croakers. Caught many smallish specks on plastic too. Oh, and trophy whiteys.

Croakers are king when it comes to speck bait. the croaker is a natural enemy to the speck and they will hit them even when they aren't hungry.

This is a true statement in many books and fishermen but in my experiences, time in and time out I have seen mullet outfish croakers and I've caught bigger fish overall on the mullets. I've even had better luck with big pogies than croakers but they are a bitch to keep alive at times.
Maybe its where I fish, idk...........
I guess its personal preference but I would reach for a big pogie first, then a mullet then a croaker for big trouts

Mostly just well heads.

3 weeks ago they were everywhere as were the shrimp. Not too active last weekend.
I'd probably be there now if the tides were better.
