Local Species Insights: Speckled Trout

Speckled trout thrive in Swansboro's inshore waters, particularly around grass flats and marsh edges where they ambush baitfish and shrimp. These fish prefer water temperatures between 65-75 degrees and are most active during moving tides when prey is displaced from cover. In October, speckled trout feed aggressively in preparation for cooler months, making them excellent targets for light tackle fishing. The clear water around Township of Swansboro allows anglers to sight-fish these spotted gamefish, while the abundant grass beds provide the structure they need for feeding and shelter.
