Spotted Seatrout
Hinesville, Georgia, offers some fantastic opportunities to target Spotted Seatrout in the coastal marshes and tidal creeks. These fish are ambush predators, so focus on areas with good current flow and structure like oyster beds and grass lines in the Medway River and surrounding estuaries. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are moderate and the trout are actively feeding before and after the summer heat. For success, match your presentation to the local forage; shrimp imitations are always a good bet. A local tip: the Riceboro boat ramp provides excellent access to the lower Medway River. Be aware of the strong tidal swings in this area, and plan your trips around the incoming or outgoing tides for best results.
