Baked Speckled Trout
The spotted seatrout, commonly called speckled trout, is one of the most popular sport fish along the Texas coast. Its abundance, willingness to hit natural and artificial baits, and fine eating qualities make the species extremely popular with anglers. It has been commercially harvested in all the states bordering the Gulf of Mexico. However, a decline in harvest of spotted seatrout in recent years caused Alabama and Texas to close commercial fishing of the species. In Texas, the record spotted seatrout caught was 37.25 inches and 15.6 pounds.
