Spotted Seatrout
If you're looking for some exciting Spotted Seatrout action, the waters around Bay Minette, Alabama offer some great opportunities. Mobile Bay and its adjacent estuaries are prime locations. Focus your efforts where saltwater meets brackish water, especially near the mouths of rivers and creeks flowing into the bay. Seatrout here are heavily influenced by seasonal forage availability, so pay attention to what's hatching or running. Spring and fall are typically the most productive times, as the trout move in and out of the bay with the changing temperatures. A local tip: The numerous public boat ramps along the Causeway provide excellent access to these productive areas. Also, be mindful of the tides; Seatrout often congregate around points and cuts during moving water. Use live shrimp under a popping cork to entice strikes. Adjust your depth and presentation based on the water temperature and current to maximize your success.
