The combination of structure fishing and grass flat techniques provides multiple opportunities for success, whether targeting trophy speckled trout or keeper flounder for the dinner table.

Local Species Insights: Speckled Trout

Speckled trout thrive in Swansboro's grass flats and nearshore structure, feeding actively on shrimp, small baitfish, and crabs throughout the tidal cycle. These fish prefer water temperatures between 65-75 degrees and respond well to live bait presentations around oyster bars and grass edges. Fall fishing produces excellent results as trout concentrate in predictable areas before winter migrations. The clear water conditions common in October allow sight fishing opportunities when trout cruise shallow flats during incoming tides.

Trips launch at dawn to maximize fishing time during prime feeding periods. The boat accommodates up to 4 anglers comfortably, with options for catch and release or keeping fish for dinner.
