A line with multiple hooks set about a foot apart and left in the water overnight. I live in Florida so I get spotted sea trout but also Redfish, Snook, Flounder, Catfish, Stingray, Shark and multiple other species Trout are species of freshwater fish belonging to the genera Oncorhynchus, Salmo and Salvelinus, all of the subfamily Salmoninae of the family Salmonidae. The word trout is also used as part of the name of some non-salmonid fish such as Cynoscion nebulosus, the spotted seatrout or speckled trout.
