seatrout
Spotted saltwater catch
Seatrout refers to several saltwater fish, particularly the spotted seatrout of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts—a popular game fish unrelated to true trout.
The name also applies to sea-run brown trout that migrate between freshwater and ocean.
We caught three seatrout in the bay this morning.
