Spotted Seatrout
If you're after Spotted Seatrout near Richmond Hill, Georgia, the vast network of tidal creeks and estuaries is where you need to be. The Ogeechee River and surrounding marshlands provide ample habitat for these popular gamefish. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate. Focus on areas with oyster beds, grass flats, and creek mouths, as these are prime feeding grounds. A local tip: live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic and effective presentation in this area. Also, be aware of the strong tides – plan your trips around the incoming or outgoing tide for optimal fishing. The Spotted Seatrout in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic leaps, making them a fun and challenging target for anglers of all skill levels.
