Sea Trout (Salmo trutta) thrive in Florida City's backcountry waters, particularly around Butler Beach where the mix of grass flats and deeper channels creates their ideal hunting grounds. These spotted predators are known for their aggressive strikes and tendency to school up, often providing multiple catch opportunities in the same location. They prefer to ambush prey from grass beds and structure edges, making them perfectly suited for the habitat around Butler Beach. Fall is an excellent time to target them as they actively feed before winter.

Their silvery appearance and torpedo-shaped bodies make them both beautiful and exciting to catch, while their 1-6 pound average weight provides a sporting fight on light tackle. The numerous spots covering their bodies make them easily identifiable among Florida's inshore species.

The Sea Trout (Salmo trutta), also commonly known as Spotted Sea Trout or Speckled Trout, is a highly prized gamefish found in the backcountry waters around Florida City. These fish feature a distinctive torpedo-shaped body with a silvery appearance that helps them blend into their surroundings. Their most recognizable characteristic is the pattern of numerous dark spots covering their back and sides, which provides excellent camouflage in their grass flat habitats. Sea Trout belong to the Salmoniformes order and Salmonidae family, sharing characteristics with other trout species including the presence of an adipose fin. In the Butler Beach area, these fish typically measure between 20-55 inches in length and weigh 1-6 pounds, though larger specimens are occasionally caught. They prefer inshore and nearshore environments with good cover, particularly grass beds and deeper channels where they can ambush prey. Sea Trout are anadromous by nature, migrating between saltwater and freshwater environments during their lifecycle. They're aggressive predators that feed primarily on small baitfish and shrimp, making them excellent targets for both artificial lures and live bait presentations. Their feeding activity peaks during tidal movements when baitfish are more vulnerable.
