I am heading to Gulf shores the 13th of june and I am going to rent a kayak and fish out of it.What do I need to look for to catch Speckled trout?Do I need to look for grass ,boat docks or just any kind of structre?I wish the salt water wouldn't tear up my boat because I would just spider rig.
I don't know that area but where we fish in LA you look for the birds or you can find oyster beds and fish on top of those and pick up specks, reds, and flounders. Maybe someone from that area can help you more than I have.
Look for birds and bait working
When we wade, we look for grass,birds, and bait. If there is one close enough we wade next to oyster beds and generally you can usually hook up with big reds, speks and snook.
Best of luck to ya',

I don't think the saltwater will tear up your boat.. I have used all kind in it, just a good washing and flushing of motor with freshwater ... If a boat will not go where I want to go .. not much use to me ... I fish Salt & Fresh in an Aluminum ....
Now their is the Gulf Fishing Surf, Pier and Boat ... Long list of how and where ...
Hope You have a Good Trip
