Unforgettable Inshore Fishing Escapade a
May 8, 2025
We had a great day of fishing on the waters around South Padre Island, Texas. As a guide with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, I was excited to take Melanie and David out for our 5 Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip. May is a solid time for this type of light tackle fishing, with the warmer waters and seasonal patterns bringing in some great inshore action. We met up at the South Padre Island launch point and got everyone situated and ready to go. The cloudy skies didn't dampen our spirits, as the calm conditions and good water clarity had us feeling optimistic about finding the fish. We started off drifting and jigging, working different depths and structure to locate the Spotted Trout and Redfish that were our primary targets. It didn't take long before the rods started bending, and we were into some quality fish. The light tackle fishing kept things exciting, with the fish putting up a great fight on the relatively thin line. Melanie and David were both new to this style of fishing, but they picked it up quickly and did an awesome job landing the fish. We had a steady pick of Spotted Trout and Redfish throughout the trip, making for some great action and variety. In between the bites, we enjoyed taking in the coastal scenery and having some great conversations. Overall, it was just an awesome day on the water. The fishing was solid, the company was great, and we all left with smiles on our faces. If you're looking to experience the best of South Padre Island's inshore fishing, I can't recommend our 5 Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip enough. Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking to try something new, we'll make sure you have an unforgettable time on the water. Book your trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures today, and let's go chase some Spotted Weakfish and Redfish!

Hooking Into Reds and Trout for an Unfor
April 25, 2025
Today was one of those perfect days out on the water here in South Padre Island, TX. The sun was shining, the winds were light, and the fish were biting. Justin Granger and his buddy joined us for our 5 Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip, and we were all eager to get out and see what we could find. As soon as we set out, the rods started bending. The Red Drum (also known as Red Fish) were really fired up, hitting our live baits and jigs hard. We had a blast battling those strong, acrobatic fish, watching them dance on the surface before we carefully brought them aboard. The Spotted Seatrout were also in a feeding mood, and we managed to hook into some nice ones using a mix of techniques like drifting and light tackle. It was nonstop action, with both anglers staying busy the entire time. By the time we headed back in, the cooler was nicely stocked with a great mix of fish. But the real highlight was just being out there, enjoying the beautiful bay waters and having a ton of fun in the process. That's what these South Padre Island fishing trips are all about – getting out, connecting with nature, and creating lasting memories, whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to try something new. If you're searching for the best fishing experience in South Padre Island, I highly recommend checking out Today We Fish Charter and Adventures.

Adrenaline-Fueled Inshore Fishing Frenzy
April 25, 2025
What a morning we had out on the water with John and the crew here at South Padre Island, Texas! The weather was partly cloudy throughout the day, but the fishing was red hot. As we met up at 7 AM, I knew this was going to be a great trip - April is prime time for both Red Drum and Spotted Seatrout in these parts, and the conditions were lining up perfectly. We started the day working different lures and depths to locate the baitfish. It didn't take long before John's rod bent over hard, and he was into a nice Redfish. That fish put up a great fight, stripping drag and making some strong runs, but John kept his cool and landed it beautifully. From there, the bite just kept getting better. The guys were tossing light tackle jigs and working the shallows, and we started seeing Spotted Seatrout oil slicks left and right. The action was nonstop, with fish smashing our baits as soon as they hit the water. In between the flurries of activity, we drifted some live bait and enjoyed the gorgeous South Padre scenery. The clear, calm waters and sunny skies made for an incredible backdrop as we reeled in fish after fish. It was one of those trips where everything just comes together - the perfect weather, hungry fish, and an enthusiastic group of anglers. By the time we wrapped up, we had a nice mixed bag of Redfish and Seatrout to show for our efforts. If you're looking to experience some of the best inshore fishing that the Lone Star State has to offer, I can't recommend a South Padre Island trip enough. Whether you're after trophy Redfish, limits of Spotted Seatrout, or just want to enjoy a fun day on the water, our 3-Hour (AM) Quick Trip has you covered. From the moment you step onboard, our team will work hard to put you on the fish and make sure you have an unforgettable experience. So what are you waiting for?
