Spotted Seatrout
For speckled trout enthusiasts, Seabrook, Texas, offers a fantastic playground within the Galveston Bay system. The key to success here lies in understanding the salinity gradients and the trout's preference for specific forage. Focus your efforts around marsh edges, oyster reefs, and grass flats, especially those near tidal creeks and bayous. Spring and fall are generally the most productive seasons, as the trout are actively feeding and migrating. Soft plastics on jigheads are a staple, but don't overlook topwater lures for exciting early morning action. A local's secret? Try fishing the shoreline near the Kemah Boardwalk during the cooler months. The lights attract baitfish, which in turn draw in the trout. Pay attention to wind direction, as it can significantly impact water clarity and trout behavior. A falling tide is often preferable for targeting trout along the shorelines.
