Spotted Seatrout
If you're targeting Spotted Seatrout in the Corpus Christi area, you're in for a treat. This region boasts diverse habitats, from the shallow grass flats of the Laguna Madre to the deeper waters around the bay's numerous spoil islands and channels. Spring and fall are prime times, as trout transition between their summer and winter patterns. Focus on areas with moving water and abundant baitfish. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic Corpus Christi presentation. Pay close attention to water clarity, as trout prefer clear to slightly stained water. A helpful tip: the Land Cut area of the Laguna Madre, accessible by boat, is renowned for producing trophy-sized trout. Also, be aware that seatrout in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lure colors and retrieves to find what they're keying on.
