Local Species Insights: Spotted Seatrout
Spotted Seatrout thrive in the inshore waters around Milton and Pensacola Bay. These prized gamefish prefer grassy flats, channels, and structure where they can ambush prey. In March, the warming trend brings them into shallower areas where they become more active and aggressive. Light tackle with soft plastics, topwater plugs, or live bait like shrimp works exceptionally well this time of year. Their distinctive spotted pattern and the characteristic "drum" sound they make when caught makes them easily identifiable. Besides being fun to catch, they're also excellent table fare, making them a favorite target for both sport and food among local anglers.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
For your 4-hour trip with Captain Jamie, plan to arrive at the marina 15 minutes before the 8:00 AM departure time. Wear comfortable clothes appropriate for the weather, including a light jacket for morning chills, and don't forget sun protection (hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen). The boat comfortably accommodates 4 guests with quality fishing gear provided for everyone. While food isn't included, you're welcome to bring snacks and drinks (non-alcoholic) in a small cooler. Captain Jamie encourages bringing a camera to document your catches, and he'll help with photos during the trip. A gratuity of 15-20% is customary for excellent service.
