Spotted seatrout will be available for recreational harvest starting January 1 in the Central East Management Region. This area covers both state and federal waters from Palm Beach through Volusia counties.
Spotted seatrout are a popular choice among Florida's inshore fisheries. The closed season was re-established to protect these fish during the winter months when they are more susceptible to colder temperatures.
