Speckled Trout

Speckled Trout

saltwater

Speckled trout, or spotted seatrout, offer a fantastic inshore fishing opportunity near Ardencroft, Delaware. The key is the Delaware Bay and its network of tidal creeks and rivers. Focus your efforts on areas with structure like oyster beds, grass flats, and docks, particularly during the warmer months from late spring through fall. Speckled trout are ambush predators, so they'll be lying in wait for baitfish. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic presentation, but artificial lures like soft plastics and topwater plugs can also be very effective. A local tip for Ardencroft anglers: the areas around Augustine Beach and the Smyrna River are known speckled trout hotspots. Be aware of strong currents and tides in the Delaware Bay, and always check the weather forecast before heading out. The speckled trout population here can fluctuate from year to year, so check local fishing reports to stay informed about current conditions.
