We’ve had good catches and exciting fishing experiences targeting these beautiful and prized fish. Catching Spotted Sea Trout: I’ve had success catching spotted sea trout using a variety of techniques. Here are some tips to increase your chances of landing this sought-after species: 1. Time of day: Spotted sea trout are generally more active during dawn and dusk, so consider planning your fishing trips during these times for better success. However, they can be caught throughout the day as well. 2. Bait and lures: Live bait such as shrimp, mullet, or small fish is known to be effective in attracting spotted sea trout. Additionally, artificial lures like soft plastics, topwater plugs, and spoons can also yield fruitful results. Experiment with different colors and sizes to find what works best in your location. 3. Techniques: Casting near grassy areas, oyster beds, or around structure such as docks and bridges often leads to successful trout fishing. Use a slow and steady retrieve to mimic natural prey movement and entice bites. Remember to vary your retrieve speed and depth to find what triggers the trout's interest. 4. Tackle: Spotted sea trout can range in size, so it is recommended to have a medium-light to medium spinning rod and reel combination. Spool your reel with a suitable monofilament or fluorocarbon line in the 8-12 lb range, depending on the average size of trout in your area. Fishing Regulations: Before heading out to catch spotted sea trout, make sure to check the local fishing regulations. These may include size limits, catch limits, and seasonal closures aimed at preserving the population of this popular species. Other Fish Species: While targeting spotted sea trout, anglers can also encounter other species such as redfish, flounder, or snook, providing an opportunity for a diverse and exciting fishing experience. Good luck and tight lines! Capt. Miguel
