Spotted Seatrout
Port Isabel offers excellent opportunities for chasing speckled trout, especially in the Lower Laguna Madre. This hypersaline bay system is a haven for trout, offering miles of shallow grass flats and deeper channels. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but consistent action can be found year-round. Focus on areas with good tidal flow and submerged vegetation. Soft plastics under a popping cork are a local favorite, but don't overlook live shrimp. A crucial tip: wade fishing is popular here, so invest in a good pair of wading boots. The trout in this area can be finicky, so experiment with different colors and retrieves. Pay attention to water temperature; trout tend to move to deeper water during the hottest parts of the day. Remember to check the latest bag and size limits before heading out.
