You can use a variety of lures to catch speckled trout. These are the best: Chuggers and MirrOlures. These lures imitate speckled trout's erratic movements and draw strikes from the fish.
MirrOlures
The 52M series MirrOlures are a great bait for speckled trout fishing. It is very similar to the MirroDine suspendingbait. This bait has a larger profile, and is intended to mimic grunts and pin fish. It works well on grassy flats in four to eight feet of water. The 52M series uses a "19” color scheme that's especially effective in water that's both weedy, and rich in vegetation. For this lure, a quick pause retrieve or twitch will suffice. It will then suspend motionless in its strike area. This bait is attractive to speckled trout and they will take it up with gusto!
This top water lure is ideal for targeting predators inshore. You can use the MirrOlures topdog for a parallel casting, within two-foot of mangrove branches. This will attract snook and redfish as well as trout. Top water lures that can be suspended above the surface of water include Popa Dog and Atop Dog.
Chuggers
Chuggers can be described as overgrown poppers. They vibrate a lot when they are twitched because of their concave, flattened head and long skirt. They are an excellent choice to attract smallmouth bass, spotted and schooling striped bass. However, chuggers don't work as well as larger predators such muskie and pike. Here are some tips and tricks to help you catch more beautiful fish.
