Weather: high 80 deg, Mostly cloudy to overcast later, Barometer has been trending down
Winds: light
Water temp.: ?

Target Species: Crappie (Specks) Method: Drifting with jigs Location: local canal, Palm Coast, Fl.
Catch: (6) Specks (kept), (3) Bass, (1) Mud Fish, lost (2) Bass & (2) Specks

My wife and I headed to Palm Coast again this afternoon to try a new spot I have been
wanting to speck fish.

 

It started off slow with 3 small Bass and a Mud Fish before we ever caught our first speck. We hooked up with 8 in total and put 6 on the stringer. All of the specks today were pretty decent fish and a step above the size we were catching on Sunday, we just did not have nearly as many.

The barometer is trending down and I feel that might have slowed the bite. Besides that, there is a lot more bait in this waterway as well as cover at the bank compared to the canal we fished Sunday.

 

Good Luck,
