Spotted Seatrout
If you're hoping to tangle with some spotted seatrout near Fairhope, Alabama, Mobile Bay and its surrounding estuaries are where you want to be. These fish thrive in the shallow, grassy flats and brackish waters of the bay. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are moderate and the trout are actively feeding. Look for areas with oyster beds, points, and drop-offs. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic and effective presentation. Soft plastic lures that mimic shrimp or baitfish also work well. Focus on areas with good tidal flow. A local tip: try fishing around the mouth of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta for larger trout. Pay attention to water clarity, as trout prefer clearer water. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, which can vary depending on the area. Launching from the Fairhope Municipal Pier provides easy access to prime fishing grounds.
