re: Florida Speckled Trout 5 fish limit

Yeah deacon, I'm about 30 minutes north of Choctawhatchee Bay. Trout and reds usually spend the winter in the rivers and bayous. In the winter they are deep just like Louisiana. Not my favorite time to fish. Late October and early November you can find them on the flats depending on the weather. Usually they move back onto the flats on warm days in March getting ready for the spawn. March, April, May are my favorite times to fish. Snoop and poop in 1-3 feet for big sows is the best. Perfect for a yack. Summertime fishing the dock lights is suppose to be the way to go. Hope to do some this summer. I think your base of operations is over near Navarre so maybe I would suggest the mouth of East River, the Yellow River and Backwater River. I haven't fished that area YET..so many bays...so little time.
