Speckled Trout
Speckled trout, or spotted seatrout, offer a fantastic light-tackle fishing opportunity near Clayton, Delaware. The brackish waters of the Delaware Bay and its tributaries provide ideal habitat for these fish. Prime locations include the mouths of creeks, grass flats, and areas with oyster beds. Focus your efforts during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Speckled trout are ambush predators, so look for areas with structure or current breaks. A local tactic is to use soft plastics under a popping cork to attract their attention. Popular access points include boat ramps along the Smyrna River. Keep in mind that speckled trout can be sensitive to temperature changes, so pay attention to weather patterns. The speckled trout in this region tend to be on the smaller side, with many fish in the 12-16 inch range, but they are plentiful and provide plenty of action. Be sure to check the current Delaware fishing regulations for size and creel limits specific to speckled trout before you go.
