If you were to ask me what my favorite Live bait to catch Speckled trout with is, I would say a 3-4" croaker every time. Here along the gulf coast croakers are abundantly found just about anywhere and are fairly easy to catch yourself. If you can get a few dozen of these precious baits its almost guaranteed you will catch some speckled trout and other species as you'll see in this video!

@michaelkerr5745 Год назад

Agreed. Anyone that says they don't fish live bait is full of it or just don't know how to fish!!! Hope you hit 100k quickly. You do a great job

@CaptCollier Год назад

I appreciate that! The channel growth is coming slowly but surely

Yessir, some of the best fishing right now

@8-bitco-op897 Год назад

DAT HOOKSET THOUG!!! I dont do a lot with live bait unless if Fishing for sheepshead and Mangroves but from time to time its nice catching a King of an LY or a flounder on a cig. Them was some nice Trout though I caught a huge JC on a white trout but I dont think I ever had a Speck eat one and one that big.

@CaptCollier Год назад

Nice! I’ve always been a live bait guy, but I try to be proficient with both just in case 😅

@tealnexttimebond8859 6 месяцев назад

Nice to see you lettin go over 20. Here in Texas we just ur limits revoked again by 2 15-20 inches 3 per. Might have a title more time to fish trying to get into the slot.

@gregsample3112 Год назад

Man what a nice AM bite! BC that was fun to watch. Nice job sharing tips and setup.

@CaptCollier Год назад

@PaulO-wy7xy Год назад

Great fishing. Good tips. Still tying to get my first trout of that size. Your wife is so cute. I think she was just being nice to give you a 7 on taste. Don't think she'll be eating that one with you again soon.

@juicyfruit4516 Год назад

Love the croaker videos keep it up

@joeybollinger5278 Год назад

Great video Brandon. We used to do the same thing at the shoals. We would catch the croaker the east side of the D.I. Bridge and the big specs on the west side.

@CaptCollier Год назад

Thanks, and sounds like y’all had a good system going on. I haven’t fished the shoals very much

@Alsaltyadventures Год назад

Still learning yet another way to hook up bait. Thanks Branden

@CaptCollier Год назад

No problem! Hookup ratio is better IMO when you hook them in the anal fin, however if you reel them in a time or two without getting a bite they will die quickly vs hooking in the nose

@ctcraftii Год назад

Well done as always. Thank you for sharing

@CaptCollier 8 месяцев назад

@patrickpixle6380 Год назад

Great work and great content! What did you use to catch the bait? Sibiki? Did you use any bait?

@CaptCollier Год назад

Thanks! And I just use a small “chicken rig” setup with a panfish hook. Small fishbite strips or small piece of dead shrimp will do the trick

@duck_the_builder 6 месяцев назад

@Capt.Collier when you free line croakers, do you use braid with mono leader or all fluorocarbon line? Thanks

@CaptCollier 6 месяцев назад

Either or is fine. I normally use braid with a couple feet of mono or flouro leader ties with an FG knot just because that’s what I have on all my inshore setups

Hopefully you can find some! You could also try and get them the day before and keep an aerator on them overnight. Ive done that dozens of time

@ironmaiden8625 Год назад

@@CaptCollier Yeah, it's a science keeping them alive. We had a method years ago where we used an oxygen bottle and an aquarium stone to oxygenate. Tough process. Thanks.

@CaptCollier Год назад

Thanks, and you’re probably right but I wasn’t fixing to swap over if they were eating croakers lol

@tombrown7577 Год назад

Catching big gator trout on croakers or pigfish is absolutely in the top three things I like to do. There is absolutlely nothing wrong using live bait ( croakers or pigfish or even finger mullet) to catch big trout. Live shrimp get eaten by to many trash fish. At $30 for a hundred shrimp, catching your own live bait only makes sense! Only a 2 fish limit here in Florida so I quit fishing for them till they recover. Awesome video, glad you included your wife.

@CaptCollier Год назад

Good on ya for giving them a break to recuperate ! And yes, anytime you can catch your on bait the better! Saving money and better quality

@flawdacountryboy Год назад

I use croakers a lot for specks on grass flats and structure, what do you look for when you judging a beach to target specks?

@CaptCollier Год назад

Troughs, points, or high current areas

@flawdacountryboy Год назад

@@CaptCollier thanks for the insight, that’s kind of what I figured, they needed some sort of structure to hold to. I’ll have to try fishing some sandy beaches here. Are beaches closer to passes or ones deeper in the bays better?

@RaymondTeague-ev5qp Год назад

I don't mind live bait but being brought up on cooler loads of 17 inch golden croaker my dad and I cry everytime we see a trout fisherman using them for bait. It used to be nothing in Texas to catch 100 croaker. Now your lucky to catch 2. It's not just trout fisherman too, it's also bycatch in nets. I know trout are good but you get you a mess of croaker and that's the best fried fish filets in the gulf.

@CaptCollier Год назад

Yea them shrimpers can put a hurtin on them. Thankfully we have no shortage of them here in Bama. But we don’t catch a lot of bull croakers big enough to eat. They definitely arnt bad, comparable to redfish
