Local Species Insights: Spotted Seatrout
Spotted seatrout thrive in South Padre Island's grass flats, shallow bays, and structure-rich areas where they ambush prey. These aggressive feeders respond well to both live bait and artificial presentations, particularly during the spring months when water temperatures stabilize. Their distinctive spotted pattern and willingness to fight make them a favorite target for light tackle enthusiasts. Local anglers find consistent success using popping corks over grass beds and jigging near drop-offs where these fish congregate to feed.
