Spotted Seatrout
Surfside Beach, Texas, is a fantastic location to target Spotted Seatrout, also known as speckled trout. The back bays and estuaries surrounding Surfside, like Christmas Bay and Bastrop Bay, provide ideal habitat for these fish. Spring and fall are peak seasons when the water temperatures are moderate and the trout are actively feeding. Look for areas with oyster beds, grass flats, and deeper channels. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic and effective presentation, but soft plastics and topwater lures can also produce explosive strikes. A local's secret: focus on areas where the wind is blowing into the shoreline, as this often concentrates baitfish and, consequently, trout. The Freeport jetties are also a popular spot, but be prepared for strong currents and boat traffic. Remember to check the latest Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations regarding size and bag limits.
