Pay Attention to Conditions Trout has excellent eyesight, so cloudy or overcast conditions are your friend. Reduced visibility helps mask boat movement and increases your odds. Interestingly, a cloudy night, or a full moon, can impact how hungry trout are the next day. Bright nights often mean active night feeding, making the following morning slower. In contrast, new moon phases and darker nights typically lead to more consistent daytime bites.
Cooler Temps Mean More Action As water temperatures drop into the 70s, Speckled Trout activity spikes, similar to Redfish and Flounder. Trout remain active in a wide temperature range (roughly 43–87°F), but the sweet spot for fall action starts when temps dip into that 70-degree zone. Better yet, they continue to bite well into winter, only slowing down once water temps fall into the low 40s, long after other species have gone quiet .This means that paying close attention to the water temp is key. And, while it may be hot now that will change before you know it. And when it does the Speckled Troup fishing will change as well. Be ready!
