Mount Pleasant Pier Speckled Trout

Khondker · Jul 26, 2016

We came in Charleston yesterday on vacation.

One vary good news for me, caught a 20 inch speckled trout on small live Crocker (wife caught the Crocker and told me to use it for bait).

My picture was taken by famous local fisherman Jiggin Jerry (I watched almost all of his YouTube video), he told me he will post the picture on YouTube.

Once I came in yesterday I went to pier to look around, sure enough I found Jiggin Jery and ask him for few tips.

Wife caught tons of pin fish.

Went back again after sunset, caught my first flounder on mud minnow, it was 12 inch, not a keeper had to let it go.

Croaker. As in Atlantic Croaker. Not making fun, just educating.

A Crocker is me telling fish lies.

Doubt it was a spec, temps are to warm. Even if you do catch one, doubt they will be in the 20 inch range

Add the live croaker for bait. It's bs

Jiggin Jerry caught 21 inch on Monday, Steve (local pier rat, who fish with Jiggin Jerry) caught one 19 inch Monday, Yeaterday Jiggin Jerry caught 8 flounder. Today and yesterday I watched the local boys catching flounder, sheepshead, red drum and speckled trout.
I caught 15.5 inch speckled trout on mud minnow this morning.

Lost few mud minnow this morning, blues ate back half of the minnows.

I will post pictures when I go back home.

Here's a video of some guys in Florida doing a little game they came up with where they cast live Croakers as far under a dock as possible then try to get their catch out and to the boat without a cutoff. Check out the size of the Speckled Trout they are catching on the Croakers.

Congrats on the big Trout man. Twenty inches is a real nice one. Good catch. That Flounder you landed would have been a keeper back home in GA. Looking forward to seeing your pictures. Well done.

When Speckled Trout get to the upper teens and bigger they start feeding exclusively on fish around structure.

Jerry and his boys told me the same thing.

Awesome fish! Might be headed down that way in a few weeks.

MadDawgJ · Jul 28, 2016

Nice catch. Thanks for the fish porn, working too much this week to get out myself and catch anything

You're funny. Big trout LOVE live croaker, as well as flounder. Plenty in the suds even this time of year, not to mention the Mt. Pleasant pier is in the Charleston Harbor.

Great catches. Glad you had fun. Mount Pleasant Pier is a great place to fish. Thanks for sharing your trip and never mind the haters.:fishing:
