The recreational fishing season for speckled trout will open in North Florida waters on Monday, March the 1st.
Fishing for Spotted seatrout is prohibited in February in Gulf of Mexico waters north of the Pinellas-Pasco county line, to the Florida-Alabama border. This one-month closure helps maintain the spotted seatrout population.
The maximum daily bag limit for spotted seatrout in the reopened waters is 5 fish per person. The statewide size limit for spotted seatrout is 15-20 inches total length, but fishermen can keep one spotted seatrout larger than 20 inches as part of the daily bag limit.
Speckled trout may not be harvested by any multiple hooks with live or dead natural bait, and snagging or snatch-hooking spotted seatrout is illegal. Anglers may take spotted seatrout with hook-and-line gear and cast nets and must land the fish in a whole condition.
