Speckled Trout
Speckled trout, also known as spotted seatrout, offer exciting inshore saltwater fishing opportunities around Eastport, Maine, though they are not as abundant as in more southern locales. These fish tend to be most active during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they move into the shallow bays and estuaries of Passamaquoddy Bay. Focus your efforts around grassy flats, oyster beds, and creek mouths, especially during periods of low light. A popping cork with a soft plastic shrimp imitation or a suspending twitchbait can be highly effective. Local anglers often find success fishing the St. Croix River estuary. Be mindful of the strong tidal currents in the area, as they can influence fish behavior and location. The speckled trout in this region may not reach the trophy sizes found further south, but they provide a rewarding challenge for light tackle anglers. Check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they may differ from other areas.
