Spotted Seatrout
If you're after Spotted Seatrout near Gretna, Louisiana, focus your efforts on the diverse waterways of the Barataria Basin. This area offers a mix of saltwater and brackish environments perfect for specks. Prime time is spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate and baitfish are plentiful. Look for trout near points, oyster beds, and grassy shorelines within the bayous and canals. Remember that speckled trout are highly sensitive to water clarity and salinity changes. A falling tide can concentrate bait and trout, but also muddy the water quickly, so be prepared to adjust your tactics. A great access point is the numerous public boat launches along Highway 23, giving you quick access to the heart of the basin. Pay attention to local reports and use live shrimp under a popping cork or soft plastics that mimic local forage like mullet or pogies. Vary your retrieve until you find what the fish are keying on.
