It looks a bit "spotted". Is that normal or need I do something about it?

In everything I suppose. Internet is full of elaborate 48 step routines for practically anything you can imagine. One can make a terrible fuss out of everything if one wants to.
That said, it seems that you may actually need to do things slightly differently depending on for example your diet. That doesn't mean slipping into 900 step "seasoning routine", but you may need to take care of your cast iron tools a bit differently if they don't get fat from meat or if they're frequently exposed to high acidity foods.
