Speckled Trout
Dewey Beach offers some exciting speckled trout action in its back bays and tidal creeks. While not as famous as areas further south, the Indian River Bay and Rehoboth Bay systems hold good numbers of specks, especially in the spring and fall. Look for them around structure like docks, oyster beds, and marsh edges, particularly during periods of low light. The best time is typically from April to June and then again from September to November when water temperatures are moderate. A local tip: try fishing the shallower creeks on a falling tide with light tackle and artificial shrimp imitations. Speckled trout in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of presentations can work. Be aware that boat traffic can be heavy during the summer months, so plan your trips accordingly or fish during the weekdays.
