What kinda fish is this, is it good to eat, what kind of lures will it hit. What does it feed on. How many names does it have. What’s it’s called in your area. Is there a size limit and a number limit in your area. What’s a good way to prepare it to eat. Got any pictures of some you caught.

Mike, I believe that fish is a Speckled Sea Trout. Yes, it is very good to eat. Depending on the state reg. but usually, they have to be 15" with a limit of 5. and you will catch them on live bait, dead bait, cut bait, and lures. I have no idea how many names it has, ask Spirit.

There are many names like speckled trout, specks, yellowmouths, spotted weakfish, and paper mouths. I have always called them speckled trout or specks. In Louisiana you can catch 25 a day and they have to be over 12 inches. In this upcoming fall, there are a lot of rumors about tightening these down. They will hit paddle tail lures, hard bodied lures and a large assortment of others. They feed on shrimp and minnows primarily. Occasionally i find small crabs in the stomach of redfish, but never trout. I like to spice them up with cumin, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and other interesting ingredients I find in my cabinet. Then I put some butter and prepared garlic in a pan, and cook it in that.
I would post some photos but I can never figure out how to on someone else’s post

Speckled. I am sure Spirit or Flyguy could tell you how many names they have. I usually like to cook trout in foil with some butter and just onion and pepper maybe some good hot sauce (little) in the gut area fresh at the river or lake within an hour of hooking them. I cook same as Trout. Maybe cure and smoke with some soy and brown sugar brine for several days ...then smoked with some crushed red pepper on it always makes em come back licking their fingers begging for more.

Since my name was mentioned: spotted sea trout, speckled trout, speck, speckles, spec, truite gris (Louisiana French), trucha de mar (Mexican Spanish), spotted weakfish, spotted seateague, southern seateague, salmon, salmon trout, simon trout, winter trout, seatrout, Nosferatu fish, and black trout. Particularly large ones are nicknamed gator trout.[1]
That's from wikipedia mostly. Seems like they're called just about everything except what they are, which is a drum. You tell me.
Oh, and whatever the hell it is, it is NOT a trout.

Weakfish up here Mike, 16in minimum length, 1 per day, open season year round.

Usually fish specks when I go to the Outer Banks in the spring and fall. Don't see too many around my area. We always called them southern weakfish because we have mostly gray trout in this area.

We call them spotted sea trout down here in FL. 15-19 inch slot with one over 19. 3 fish limit per day in my area. Spirit is right. They are actually in the Drum family and are great just fried in butter with salt and pepper.

Yellow mouth is a less desire able trout here! Flesh is mushy so we usually go for spotted !
