Spotted Seatrout
If you're chasing speckled trout, Orange Beach, Alabama, should be on your radar. The inshore waters around Perdido Bay, Wolf Bay, and the Intracoastal Waterway offer excellent habitat. What makes this location special is the extensive network of grass flats, oyster reefs, and docks that provide ambush points for these predators. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times, as the water temperatures are moderate, and the trout are actively feeding before and after the summer heat. A practical tip is to target areas with moving water, such as tidal creeks or passes, especially during a falling tide. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic presentation, but artificial lures like soft plastics and topwater plugs can also be very effective. Be mindful of the wind, as it can quickly change conditions in the bays, and always check the local fishing reports for up-to-date information on where the trout are biting.
