Spotted Seatrout
If speckled trout are on your mind, Houma's your place. What makes this area special is the mix of saltwater and brackish marshes, bayous, and bays like Terrebonne and Timbalier. These estuaries are prime habitat for specks year-round, but spring and fall are peak seasons as trout move in and out with the baitfish migrations. Focus on areas with moving water, like tidal passes and cuts, especially around points and oyster beds. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic presentation here, but don't be afraid to throw soft plastics that mimic local forage. A local tip: launch at the Cocodrie Marina for quick access to productive fishing grounds. Watch the salinity levels, as trout prefer slightly saltier water.
