Spotted seatrout thrive in Matagorda Bay's grass flats and shallow waters, making them a prime target for inshore anglers. These fish respond well to live bait fishing and top-water lures, especially during early morning and evening hours when they feed actively in the shallows. April marks excellent fishing conditions as water temperatures warm and seatrout become more aggressive. Local anglers find success using soft plastics, live shrimp, and topwater plugs around structure and grass beds throughout the bay system.
