Speckled Trout
Speckled trout, also known as spotted seatrout, are a prized catch in the Cottonwood Shores area. The shallow grass flats and oyster reefs of the bays surrounding Cottonwood Shores provide ideal habitat for these fish. The best time to target speckled trout is during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate. Topwater lures, soft plastics, and live shrimp are all effective baits. For wade fishing, try accessing the flats near Lakeside Park. A helpful tip: pay attention to the tides, as speckled trout often feed more actively during periods of moving water. The speckled trout in this area are generally healthy and plentiful, with opportunities to catch both smaller 'schoolies' and larger 'gator' trout. Remember to practice catch and release, especially with larger fish, to help maintain the quality of the fishery.
