Speckled Trout
If you're heading to Blades, Delaware, and have speckled trout on your mind, you're in for some exciting inshore saltwater action. The Nanticoke River and its associated creeks and marshlands offer prime habitat for these beautiful fish. Speckled trout, also known as spotted seatrout, thrive in these brackish waters, especially where there's plenty of structure like oyster beds, submerged vegetation, and docks. The best time to target them here is during the spring and fall months when the water temperatures are moderate. Look for them around structure during tidal changes, as they'll be ambushing baitfish. A local tip: try fishing near the mouth of Broad Creek where it meets the Nanticoke River. Also, be aware that the water can be shallow in many areas, so a shallow-draft boat or kayak is ideal. The speckled trout in this region are known for their vibrant colors, and you might even hook into some larger 'gator' trout if you're lucky!
