The spotted sea trout, also known as the speckled trout in Texas, is
one of the most sought after game fish in the gulf coast.  Speckled
trout can be found from the Yucatan peninsula all the way to the most
north eastern tip of the United States.

Speckled trout can live up to ten years.  A trout’s growth rate is slow
(only seventeen inches in the first two years). Between three and
seven years of age a trout may grow an additional eight inches.  Most
trout that reach the 26 inch range our large females. The Texas state
record is 33 ¾ inches and weighs 13 pounds 9 ounces.  When you
catch a trout over twenty six inches, consider yourself lucky. That fish
is most likely 7 years of age or older and has seen many anglers.

Speckled trout are normally a local fish.  They stay in one general area
most of the year. Trout will move into shallow areas like bays and
estuaries during the summer time for spawning. This is one of the best
times to fish for trout because they our protective of their nest and will
attack all small predators to prevent their egg’s from being eaten.  
During the winter, trout will move to deeper, warmer water.

The most common way anglers go after speckled trout is with live
shrimp.  Anglers commonly use a popping cork with a two to three foot
leader.
