Speckled Trout Fishing
Corpus Christi is one of the top speckled trout destinations in Texas — and Laguna Moon Outdoors consistently puts clients on limits of specks on the Laguna Madre. Captain Chris Shindledecker knows exactly where the big trout are holding in every season.
Speckled Trout on the Laguna Madre
Speckled trout (spotted seatrout)are the most popular inshore species in South Texas — and for good reason. They're hard fighting, excellent eating, and found throughout the Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi Bay year-round. Limits of speckled trout are common on Laguna Moon Outdoors charters.
Best Season for Speckled Trout in Corpus Christi
Fall and winterare the prime seasons for trophy speckled trout in Corpus Christi. The biggest fish of the year — the legendary “gator trout” — are caught November through February when cold fronts push fish into deeper holes and channels. Spring offers excellent action as trout move onto shallow grass flats to feed.
Speckled Trout Limits on the Laguna Madre
Clients regularly limit out on speckled trout with Captain Chris. The Laguna Madre's grass flats and shell pads hold massive concentrations of trout, and Captain Chris's local knowledge puts you in the right spot every time.
