Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
The waters around Red Bay, Alabama, offer excellent opportunities for Spotted Seatrout, especially if you understand their seasonal habits. These fish are heavily influenced by water temperature and forage availability. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target them, as they move into shallower waters to feed. Focus your efforts around grass flats, oyster reefs, and tidal creeks. During the summer months, Seatrout often seek refuge in deeper, cooler waters. A natural presentation is often key, so consider using live shrimp or artificial lures that mimic their natural prey. Pay attention to water clarity and adjust your lure selection accordingly. Access to these fishing grounds is readily available from various boat ramps around the bay. A local tip: early morning or late evening are often the most productive times, especially during the warmer months. Be sure to check the current Alabama fishing regulations regarding size and creel limits for Spotted Seatrout.
