How To Approach And Fish Rigs For Speckled Trout

Louisiana’s coast is home to a lot of natural gas platforms, commonly referred to as “rigs”.

They’re great to fish for speckled trout (and other species), but it’s not as easy to find them as you’d think.

How can you find them? What’s the best way to fish them? What tackle should you use?

Those questions and more are all addressed inside this webinar.
