The soft dine and top waters have been doing well for us lately!
I was trying to post a video from fishing this past weekend to get y'all's opinion on something and I can't post it. Is it not possible to post your own video on the site? I only see how to reference and post AU vids. Please advise.
This is regarding the question about studies on speckled trout spawning. I’ve linked the Sportfish Center’s Spotted Seatrout Species Profile and the paper I was discussing last night:

I would like to blame AunglerU for starting the addiction to some bad ass speakers!! Since I won the white one on a give away, the collection has grown. Also, Macstrap for making custom straps.
Below is the information on why some spotted seatrout make sounds while others do not. The answer is that male spotted seatrout have a specialized muscle called a sonic muscle that vibrates against the swim bladder, producing drumming or croaking sounds.
This muscle is exclusive to male spotted seatrout and is used to attract females during spawning, as illustrated in the picture. Furthermore, research has shown that their red sonic muscle is prominent only during spawning and becomes inactive during winter. This is also observed in male red drum, spot, star drum, and silver perch, although both sexes of black drum and Atlantic croaker possess sonic muscles.

Caleb you said weren’t sure of the benefits of a spiral wrapped rod in the recent livestream with Pat. I saw this demonstration years ago in California where spiral wrapped or “Acid Wrapped” rods are very popular on Tuna fishing party boats.
These two boys had more fun to see who could get their bag filled up. Really enjoyed getting to see these boys go nuts. Thank you K Wigglers for a great time for the boys. $10 for a gallon ziplock bag is a steal!!
