Spotted Seatrout

If you're after spotted seatrout, Savannah's inshore waters offer excellent opportunities. The maze of tidal creeks, grass flats, and oyster bars surrounding Savannah provide ideal habitat. Seatrout fishing is best during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Look for fish around structure, especially oyster beds, where they ambush prey. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic and effective presentation. Artificial lures like soft plastics mimicking shrimp or baitfish also work well. A local tip is to fish the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) at dawn or dusk near docks and bridges, as these areas often hold trout seeking shelter and food. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can vary.
