Spotted seatrout season opens, Jan. 1, in Atlantic Central East region
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC)
Spotted seatrout will reopen to recreational harvest Jan. 1 in the spotted seatrout Central East Management Region on Florida's east coast, which includes all state and federal waters on the Atlantic Ocean, from Palm Beach through Volusia counties (see map).
Spotted seatrout is one of Florida’s most popular inshore fisheries. This closed season was re-established in 2020 for the Central East Management Region to address declining trends in the stock and benefit spotted seatrout during times when they are particularly vulnerable to harvest.
