Spotted Seatrout
Mobile Bay and its surrounding estuaries offer fantastic opportunities for Spotted Seatrout. The key to success lies in understanding the salinity gradients and the trout's preference for structure. Focus on areas with oyster reefs, grass flats, and points where currents converge. The spring and fall months are prime time, as the water temperatures are moderate and the trout are actively feeding. A local tip is to use live shrimp under a popping cork, especially in areas with strong currents. Another productive technique is to fish with soft plastic lures that mimic shrimp or baitfish. Be aware of the tides; incoming tides often bring in cleaner water and trigger feeding activity. Consider fishing around the causeway bridges or near the mouths of rivers that flow into Mobile Bay. Always check the local regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out.
