Contrary to its name, the spotted seatrout is not a member of the trout family (<a title=\"Salmonidae\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Salmonidae\">Salmonidae<\/a>), but of the drum family (<a title=\"Sciaenidae\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sciaenidae\">Sciaenidae<\/a>). It is popular for commercial and especially recreational fishing in coastal waters of the southeastern United States. Adults reach 19-32 inches in length and 3-15 pounds in weight.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4673\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4673\" style=\"width: 1108px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Big-Sea-Trout-Captiva-Grass-Flats-June-13-e1371457718942.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4673\" src=\"https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Big-Sea-Trout-Captiva-Grass-Flats-June-13-e1371457718942.webp\" alt=\"Big Sea Trout, Captiva Grass Flats, June 13, Sanibel &amp; Captiva Islands &amp; Fort Myers Charters &amp; Fishing Guide Service.\" width=\"1108\" height=\"1380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Big-Sea-Trout-Captiva-Grass-Flats-June-13-e1371457718942.webp 1108w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Big-Sea-Trout-Captiva-Grass-Flats-June-13-e1371457718942-768x957.webp 768w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Big-Sea-Trout-Captiva-Grass-Flats-June-13-e1371457718942-241x300.webp 241w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Big-Sea-Trout-Captiva-Grass-Flats-June-13-e1371457718942-822x1024.webp 822w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Big-Sea-Trout-Captiva-Grass-Flats-June-13-e1371457718942-690x859.webp 690w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Big-Sea-Trout-Captiva-Grass-Flats-June-13-e1371457718942-980x1221.webp 980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1108px) 100vw, 1108px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4673\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Big Sea Trout, Captiva Grass Flats, June 13, Sanibel &amp; Captiva Islands &amp; Fort Myers Charters &amp; Fishing Guide Service.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Spotted seatrout live in the top of the water column and are most numerous along the coasts of the southeastern states, such as Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida.
