Spotted Seatrout
While Wills Point itself is inland, targeting Spotted Seatrout requires a trip to the Texas Gulf Coast. Focus your efforts in the brackish waters of nearby bays like Galveston or Trinity Bay. Seatrout fishing here is best during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate and the trout are actively feeding on shrimp and small baitfish. Look for areas with grassy flats, oyster beds, and channel edges. A local tip: Pay close attention to the wind direction, as it can heavily influence water clarity and trout location. On windy days, try fishing on the lee side of islands or shorelines. Also, keep in mind that seatrout in these bays can be surprisingly sensitive to lure presentation. Start with natural-looking soft plastics or live shrimp under a popping cork, and adjust your depth and retrieve based on the trout's activity.
