Spotted Seatrout
If chasing Spotted Seatrout is on your agenda, New Orleans and its surrounding waterways offer a wealth of opportunities. The Louisiana marsh system, with its intricate network of bayous, bays, and estuaries, provides ideal habitat for these fish. Spring and fall are typically the most productive times, as the trout move in and out of the shallow waters to feed and spawn. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic presentation, but soft plastic lures like paddle tails and shrimp imitations also work well. Focus your efforts around points, oyster reefs, and grass beds. A popular access point is the Hopedale area, offering numerous boat launches and access to the Biloxi Marsh. Pay attention to the tides, as trout often congregate on the down-current side of structures during falling tides. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the health of this valuable fishery.
