If you’re looking for a reason why Speckled Trout fishing in Mobile Bay has stood the test of time, you’ll find plenty to choose from. This fish is fun to catch for newbies and experienced anglers alike, and makes for some seriously tasty table fare! What’s more, you can catch a “Speck” in these parts any time of year. Whether you’re departing from Mobile on the north shore, or one of the southern barrier islands, you’re in for an exciting adventure. 
 

What to Expect

Mobile Bay’s inshore waters are made up of a variety of smaller bays and shallow flats. Measuring just 32 miles across at its widest point, one of the most irresistible parts of targeting Speckled Trout here is how little time you’ll spend traveling! 
 
If you’re a brand new angler, this means that you can opt for a half day trip and still have plenty of time to learn the ropes. These waters are also calm, especially in the summer months, making Speckled Trout fishing the perfect angling introduction for families with little ones. To make the most out of your adventure, choose a charter that departs from one of the “barrier islands,” such as Dauphin Island or Fort Morgan. These locations are tourist friendly, and you’ll often find trips that combine fishing with sightseeing!
 
If you’re a more experienced angler, the pure quantity of Speckled Trout to be found in these waters will have you seriously excited about casting off. For an authentic Alabaman experience, head to the port city of Mobile, or one of the smaller fishing towns on the eastern side of the bay, such as Daphne. Here, you’ll find fewer tourists, and more local captains willing to share some of their tips and tricks with you. Light tackle is their preferred way of fishing, so why not try to land a trophy using this technique?
 

How to Prepare

Your charter captain will make sure you’re equipped with everything you need to fill the boat with “Specks,” including rods, reels, bait or lures, and tackle. Your fishing license will also be covered. All you need to bring are some drinks and snacks, as well as weather-appropriate clothing, and get ready for a Speckled Trout bonanza!

Absolutely. Just be sure to ask the guide question about what to wear and what to expect. They know what is going on and will advise you on what to do. Dress warmer than you would expect and have rain gear ready.

Weather and water rough due to storm - maybe a March thing, not for anyone with motion sickness or if you donโ€™t want to get sea spray.

We booked a morning trip, so it was a little chilly. It was very windy, but once the sun came out, the weather did not take away from the fishing experience.

In March, bring a hoodie. The clouds pop in front of the sun and it gets a little chilly.

Remember it is called fishing, not catching. Just because you may be looking to catch a certain fish doesn't mean it will happen that particular day. Don't miss the forest because of the trees, take what is bighting that day and make memories.

I would recommend you go to the marina a day before the day youโ€™re supposed to fish and understand how the marina and guided fishing works. Itโ€™s fun to watch them, clean the fish and see how excited the people are.

Always be flexible regarding the weather/water conditions. Listen to your Captain. Our Capt recommended against the freezing high wind and waves in the gulf and we spent our trip in the lagoon catching more fish than we could count and stayed perfectly warm and dry.
