This time of year I enjoy speck fishing during the day and at night. Speckled trout are ambush predators and will take any and every oppurtunity they have to fill there stomachs, day or night. My tactics change slightly between nighttime and daytime, since the visual factor is not as important. I prefer to use sound and the speckled trouts lateral line to guide them to my fly. A black deer hair slider or a black rattle clouser always seem to do the trick. On the incoming tide these fish will move up into the shallows and feed heavily. Remember that these fish are schooling fish when they are below 18"-20" in length. If you catch one in this size range, there are usually more. Be sure to work that area thoroughly.  Once they get bigger they tend to be more of a loner, not to say that there won't be other trout around.  If you fish an area with alot of current don't forget to check out the edges of rip lines and anywhere there is good current over a food source, such as an oyster bar. These fish will setup in these types of places and feed throughout the tide cycle. When I am fishing with strong current in these rips I like to use an intermediate or sinking line to get the fly down to these fish. I hope this helps, please leave us any comments on tactics you have used or if this helped you catch a speck at night.
