Spotted Seatrout
If you're looking to tangle with some speckled trout, the waters around Georgetown, South Carolina, offer excellent opportunities. The unique blend of saltwater and brackish environments in Winyah Bay, the Sampit River, and surrounding creeks create prime habitat. Focus your efforts around oyster beds, grass flats, and creek mouths, especially where there's good tidal flow. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as seatrout follow the bait migrations. A local's trick is to use popping corks with live shrimp or artificial lures to attract attention in the often murky water. Also, be mindful of the tides – trout tend to be more active during moving tides. Several public boat ramps provide access to these productive areas, but be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
