Hot bite and happy crew! Summer fishing on South Padre Island was in full swing as I took Drew and their crew out for a 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We set out early, hitting the water at first light to make the most of the morning bite. The weather cooperated nicely, with partly cloudy skies providing some relief from the July heat.

Once the stage was set, we wasted no time getting lines in the water. Our strategy involved a mix of techniques to cover all the bases. We started with some surf fishing, feeling the sand between our toes as we cast into the breaking waves. As the morning progressed, we moved to one of the local piers, where the structure often holds some nice fish. The highlight of our trip came when we hooked into a beautiful Spotted Trout. At 19 inches, it was a respectable catch that put up a good fight and brought smiles all around. We wrapped up with some drift fishing venturing further out to test our skills in shallow waters. Throughout the day, the partly cloudy skies kept conditions comfortable, and the fish seemed to appreciate the mix of sun and shade as much as we did.

Ask questions to the captain. For my son we asked if he had a life jacket and he provided one and he had a huge ice chest on board for any you need to keep cool. Separate from the fish which was nice and sanitary.

Plenty of options between the bay and the gulf. We hit the Snapper during the spawn which made fishing challenging but we still had plenty of action.

Just like fishing on the lake you're gonna have good days and bad days. That's just life, if you don't catch anything don't blame your captain. We happened to luck out and catch a good amount of fish and a few things we couldn't keep. It was amazing to catch different types of saltwater spices.

The bay is extremely shallow. I was surprised to find that we were only fishing in two to three feet of water. Spent a lot of time looking for schools of fish.
