The rain did not put a damper on the 18th annual Swansboro Speckled Trout Tournament. We had a fairly good turn out with all the serious trout fishing competition from the area. The key was finding some clean water that had not been dirtied up from all the rain last week. John Hislop and myself were lucky enough to find clean water and catch some good trout. We had a bag of 18.9lbs with a 8.5 and 7.3lb trout to take the win and big fish award. Awesome day to say the least to hold out against some of the best trout fishermen in the state. We went back to the same area on Monday but the brown dirty water had moved in. The fish were shut down some, but we did manage to catch a few nice trout and redfish. There are some really nice fish showing up and the action should improve over the next month. November, December, and January are some of the best month of the year to catch a lot of trout. I have days open so don't miss out on some good fishing.
