June is the peak month for big spotted seatrout to congregate in shallow water, and you regularly will catch 7- to 9-pound specks then in the Gulf of Mexico. On some days, you only may catch one trout this size, and on other days, you may catch three or four trout.

Landing Monster Spotted Seatrout |
|
Your best chance for landing a monster-sized spotted seatrout is fishing with big baits early in the morning on a slick, calm day. Fish top-water lures early in the morning, and then switch to grubs, spinners and soft plastics later in the day.

Spotted (or Speckled) Seatrout |
|
Speckled trout are usually caught in waters less than 5 feet deep. Anglers targeting structure in shallow-water areas catch the most fish. Anglers fishing from ocean piers should look for specks in the shallow surf zone, but they should keep in mind that some fish will be attracted to the pilings. Specks can also be caught from the beach. Casting lures and baits to troughs that run parallel to the beach during low tide or to the outlying sandbars is a good way to catch ocean specks. Beach areas with rocks, pilings, rubble, clay outcrops or steep washouts are good places for isolating specks.
