Speckled Trout
Speckled trout, or spotted seatrout, can be found within a reasonable distance of Seaford, Delaware, in the brackish waters of the Nanticoke River and its tributaries as they approach the Chesapeake Bay. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate. Speckled trout are ambush predators, so focus your efforts around structure like grass beds, oyster reefs, and creek mouths. Soft plastic lures rigged on jigheads are highly effective, as are live shrimp under a popping cork. A local tip: try fishing the shallow flats early in the morning or late in the evening for the best results. Be mindful of the tides, as speckled trout often move with the current to find food. While the speckled trout here may not be as large as those found further south, they are still a prized catch, with many fish reaching 16-20 inches.
