Speckled Trout Fishing Tips
For all of the fisherman out there who want to catch more fish, listen up. These tips are straight from the top and have helped me catch a lot more fish. Today I would like to talk about catching speckled trout. A lot of people call them sea trout, but I call them speckled – it really doesn’t matter. Before I get into the thick of things, I would first like to say that if you want to make things easier on your self, then try taking a deep sea fishing guide. They will put you on the fish without having to stumble through all of the steps in the learning process. For those of you who want to learn how to do things on your own, here we go.
Speckled trout are fished for in the flats and in the bays. They are not found way offshore like many of the bottom fish out there like snapper and grouper. If you want to catch the most speckled trout that you can possibly catch, then try using live shrimp. Artificial jigs work, I will admit, but you cannot beat the real thing. That is a good rule of thumb to follow though. However, live shrimp can get a bit pricy and you have to keep them alive. They can also pinch you when you are putting them on. I used them fishing in the flats and caught a ton of fish. They were gobbling those live shrimp up like popcorn. I didn’t just catch speckled trout though; I caught a lot of other things including sharks. One good tip for catching sea trout in the flats is using a bobber or cork. I use corks, but it doesn’t really matter what you use. If you are not going to use live shrimp to catch them, then try using a jig. Just get a jig head and put a soft plastic shrimp on there. This little trick works great as well. Just cast out and jig the speckled trout lure up and down. Doing this may or may not produce a fish. You may have to do a little work to find them first.
