Speckled Trout

Speckled Trout, also known as Spotted Seatrout, offer a rewarding inshore fishing experience near Cranston, Rhode Island. While not as abundant as in more southern waters, they can be found in Narragansett Bay, particularly in the warmer months from late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts around shallow, grassy areas, oyster beds, and creek mouths where these fish ambush prey. The Providence River and its tributaries can also hold trout. A key to success is understanding the tide – Speckled Trout often feed aggressively during moving water. Public access points and small boat launches are available in Cranston and nearby towns, providing access to productive areas. Remember that Speckled Trout are delicate, so use barbless hooks and handle them with care if you plan to release them. Soft plastics and small topwater lures are effective choices.
