Speckled Trout
Speckled Trout, also known as Spotted Seatrout, can be found in the Delaware Bay, making Laurel a viable base for anglers. While Laurel itself is inland, the drive to the bay is manageable. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target Speckled Trout, as they move into shallower waters to feed and spawn. Focus on areas with grassy flats, oyster beds, and creek mouths within the bay and its tributaries. Soft plastic lures rigged on jig heads are a popular and effective choice. Slow retrieves and subtle twitches often entice strikes. The shallower waters around the Broadkill River and Indian River Bay are known trout hotspots. A local tip: polarized sunglasses are crucial for spotting trout in the clear, shallow water. Keep an eye on the wind conditions, as strong winds can make it difficult to fish these areas effectively. Delaware's Speckled Trout fishery has seen fluctuations in recent years, so check current regulations and consider practicing catch and release to help conserve the population.
