Spotted Seatrout
If you're aiming for speckled trout around Grand Bay, Alabama, you're in a prime location to target these fish in the Mobile Bay estuary system. The key to success lies in understanding the seasonal movements of baitfish. During the warmer months, focus on grass flats and oyster reefs in the lower salinity areas. As the water cools, trout will often move further up into the rivers and creeks seeking warmer, more stable conditions. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic presentation, but don't overlook artificial lures like soft plastics or suspending twitch baits. A local tip: the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve offers excellent access to productive fishing areas. Pay attention to the tides; an incoming tide can often trigger a feeding frenzy. The speckled trout in this area are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for some exciting action. Be sure to check local regulations for size and bag limits before heading out.
