Spotted Seatrout
Looking to hook into some speckled trout around Gulf Shores? You're in the right place. The unique blend of saltwater and brackish estuaries here, like the Bon Secour River and Little Lagoon, create prime habitat. These waters teem with shrimp, crabs, and small baitfish – the trout's favorite meals. Focus your efforts around grass flats, oyster reefs, and docks, especially where there's moving water. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the trout move into shallower water to feed aggressively. A local tip: try fishing live shrimp under a popping cork for maximum attraction. Also, pay attention to water clarity; stained water often holds more fish. Remember, Alabama's trout are sensitive to temperature changes, so adjust your depth and presentation as needed.
