Where & How to Catch Redfish

Speckled trout are commonly found on grass flats, sand holes, and shallow areas throughout Tampa Bay. These zones provide ideal feeding grounds where trout hunt baitfish and shrimp.

We typically target trout using live bait or artificial lures, drifting across flats or working specific areas with consistent action. Calm mornings and moving tides often produce the best results.
