This is the first good trip I've had at the cove area. I say good not just based on the keepers but the fact that we were basically consistently catching or at least hooking trout for a few hours. I think confidence is 75% of fishing. We caught one rather quickly and them saw bait being chased so I knew without a doubt there were trout to be caught. Once I had that mind set I was able to figure it out. That being said the bite died around 930 and for 3 more hours we might have caught 6 trout total with only 2 keepers. So timing as in any aspect of life is very important. If you don't think you are going to catch than surely you will not! It's hard to always be confident but I definitely learned a few things that morning. Also I'm relatively new to speck fishing inshore(fished mostly at rigs with a friend) until last year. The water looked good it was early morning and a rising tide so now I know if those variables match up I will be confident enough to give it a good try.
