Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
If you're targeting Spotted Seatrout near Sneads Ferry, North Carolina, you're in for a treat. The New River and its surrounding marshlands offer exceptional habitat for these fish. Focus your attention on areas with oyster beds, grass flats, and creek mouths where trout ambush prey. The fall months, especially October and November, are typically the most productive, as the fish are actively feeding before winter. However, you can find trout year-round if you know where to look. A local pro-tip: Try fishing with popping corks and soft plastic lures around the edges of grass flats during the early morning or late afternoon. Also, pay attention to the tides; Seatrout often move with the tide to feed in shallow areas. Remember that the Seatrout population can fluctuate, so practice catch and release to help maintain a healthy fishery.
