Spotted Seatrout
If you're after Spotted Seatrout in Long Beach, Mississippi, you'll want to focus on the shallow, grassy flats and bayous that characterize this part of the Gulf Coast. These fish thrive in the brackish waters where the bay meets the Gulf, offering ample feeding opportunities. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as the trout move into these areas to spawn and feed. A local tactic is to use popping corks with live shrimp or soft plastics to attract the attention of these ambush predators. Wade fishing is popular in some areas, but be mindful of stingrays. Several public boat launches provide access to the bay, but be aware of tidal fluctuations, which can affect navigation. The Spotted Seatrout in this region are known for their willingness to strike topwater lures, making for exciting visual takes.
