If you’re talking speckled trout are you talking about saltwater trout otherwise known as spotted weakfish? I moved to Cocoa Beach as a late teenager. That area claims to be the Saltwater Trout capital of the world. I believe grass flats attract Saltwater Trout, whereas sand flats attract bonefish.

Am I correct in this?

Trout love the grass flats. We'd throw out ratlin chub bug top waters and watch the show. They attack like bass. Very aggressive fish. And soo tasty.

This is my boy DJ Trashy. They would argue about the trout capital of the world. Him and his boy caught this in 3 hours in Louisiana. They have huge limits there because theres so many fish and they dont get that pressured. Thats shrimp in the little pool. lol . Insane fishing up there.

State law (assuming FL) has not changed... no commercial sale or harvest of snook is allowed. They also banned keeping any snook for a healthy minute due to the bad red tide the west coast of FL experienced last year. The ban is still in place from basically hernando down to naples.

Some nice grouper in 8ft of water. lol . We use balloons to hold our pin fish in middle of water column and when we see the balloon go we run up the gunner rail to keep the grouper out of the rock piles. Crystal river has a lot of inshore grouper and you have to use different tactics to get them out of the rocks. We also use high vise hello braid so if they get into the rocks we leave the poll in rod holder till we see the line take off side ways then we slam again. lol . If you saw this you wouldn't believe it.

I didn’t know anybody ate those....used to catch a lot when I was fishing for something else. Always hated them.....thought they were useless trash. Maybe this was because people were poor and ate what they could.
