Spotted Seatrout

Kings Bay, Georgia, is a prime location to target Spotted Seatrout, offering a diverse mix of saltwater and brackish environments where these fish thrive. The key here is understanding the seasonal forage. During the spring and fall, focus on areas with active shrimp populations. In the summer, small baitfish become more prevalent. The Crooked River and the intercoastal waterways near the bay are excellent starting points. A practical tip: pay close attention to water clarity. Seatrout prefer cleaner water, so areas with good tidal flow are often productive. Also, remember that seatrout will move to deeper holes and channels during colder months, so adjust your depth accordingly. Look for structure like docks, oyster beds, and grass lines – these are prime ambush points for trout. Keep your presentations natural, and don't be afraid to experiment with different jig head weights to find the sweet spot in the current.
