Charlotte Harbor Trout - I never underestimate the spotted sea trout. Perhaps one of our most abundant fish species, he is a feisty fighter and an eager feeder on live and artificial bait. We have a great population of fish from hatchlings to big gators pushing 8 pounds and they are with us all year long.
They are a schooling fish and often times finding one means you've found them all. An aggressive feeder when hungry, they are known to smack topwater plugs clear out of the water and when hooked, they rise to the surface and kick up big splashes in their battle for freedom. A tasty fish in the pan, our anglers often choose to take a few for the diner table and that's OK, as we have a healthy population of these great fish.
