This isn't sponsored content, Captain Jarrett Ledger is one of the OG testers of the original Lone Star Gear stringer EZ holder, and more importantly an excellent angler.  He guides fishing and hunting trips from Rockport to Baffin and West Galveston Bay.  Practically any style of fishing is fine with him, but his main stay is wade fishing for trophy speckled trout and redfish (probably why we get along so well).

My mission was a quick trip where I could catch large speckled trout on topwaters.   The surf was sub one foot and the water sandy on the shore quickly turning to a pretty green at about the third or fourth bar. Water temp was low or mid 70's and totally bearable without waders.  Getting to the beach a little later than normal, the sun was already lighting up the sky, I...
