Spotted Seatrout
Dauphin Island offers fantastic opportunities for chasing Spotted Seatrout, especially if you understand the nuances of Mobile Bay and its surrounding waters. Focus your efforts on the grass flats along the northern shore of the island and around the numerous oyster reefs that dot the bay. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the trout move into these areas to feed on shrimp and small baitfish. A local's secret is to fish the outgoing tide around the mouths of small creeks and bayous that drain into the bay – these areas concentrate bait and attract hungry trout. Use popping corks with live shrimp or soft plastic lures to entice strikes. The trout in this area are known for their aggressive feeding habits, but be prepared to downsize your presentation if they are finicky. Public access is readily available at numerous points along the island, but a boat provides the best access to the prime fishing spots. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits.
