Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
If you're chasing speckled trout, Port Neches offers a variety of brackish and saltwater habitats in the Sabine-Neches Estuary. The area's marshlands, bayous, and the Neches River itself provide ample opportunities. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times, as the trout move into shallower waters to feed and spawn. Look for points, cuts, and areas with submerged vegetation. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic Port Neches presentation. Don't be afraid to experiment with soft plastics that mimic local forage. A local tip: launch at the Port Neches Park boat ramp for easy access to the Neches River. Remember that the salinity can fluctuate dramatically depending on rainfall, so adjust your tactics based on the water conditions. Keep an eye out for slicks, which often indicate feeding trout.
