Bonanza On The Bay! Spotted Sea Trout Cooperate in a Big Way!

Spotted Sea Trout

Paul and I headed out to the Back Country early not expecting to find what we found, after locating several caches of Large Lady Fish, we hit the Spotted Sea Trout bonanza. All of the fish we caught were between 16 and 19", with a mix of large Jacks and a few Lady fish in the mix.

Spotted sea trout or "speckled trout" have a streamlined body that is dark silvery gray on the back with a white belly. The upper parts of the fish have an iridescent sheen and black spots. The dorsal and tail fin are also spotted.


Spotted sea trout have a large mouth and 1 or 2 large sharp canine teeth are located at the front of the upper jaw. They are delicious and highly sought as a game fish.

Although we were catching fish all day, we chose to only take enough fish  for a couple of meals. If you notice a lack of catching pictures that is because we were having too much fun to stop.
