Local Species Insights: Speckled Trout
Speckled trout thrive in South Padre Island's bay systems, preferring grass flats, drop-offs, and structure where they ambush prey. These fish respond well to both live bait and artificial presentations, with morning hours often producing the most consistent action. During June conditions, speckled trout typically hold in 3-8 feet of water near oyster reefs and grass beds, making them ideal targets for drift fishing techniques. The 23-inch fish landed on this trip represents excellent size for local waters, where trout averaging 15-20 inches provide steady action for charter guests.
