specks

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Go shallow...if you can find an area with vegetation, even better.

I'd also check out beaver huts and downed trees. Specks hang out around wood cover

Every Speck I've seen caught in our local stocked lakes have come from water 3' of water or less....

Shoreline points, downed trees atc. would be good starting points.

Never look past a good rock ledge that continues into the water..They like these areas as well...A good mix of shallow areas with vegetation etc within 20ft of a drop off is prime spots also.
Fishing isn't a matter of life and death....
It's much more important.
