What a fun day on the water we had with Mark and their crew for our (AM) Fishing Trip 5 Hours out of South Padre Island, TX. May is a great time to be out here, as the warming waters bring the Spotted Sea Trout in close to the shore, making for some excellent light tackle and jigging opportunities. We met up at the South Padre Island Marina around 7:30 AM and got the group set up with rods and gear. The weather was starting to turn a bit cloudy, but the water was looking great - perfect conditions to get the lines out and start working some areas known to hold Spotted Sea Trout. We started off at Laguna Vista covering a lot of ground to find the active fish. It didn't take long before the first rod started bending, and Mark was into a nice Spotted Sea Trout. That fish put up a great fight, stripping line and making some good runs, but Mark kept the pressure on and we soon had it in the boat. The bite stayed steady, and we kept adding to the total, mixing in some light tackle and drift fishing techniques to cover different depths and presentations. The Spotted Sea Trout were really keyed in, smashing our baits and lures with authority. In between catches, we took some time to enjoy the scenery and have a few laughs - it was just an all-around great day on the water. The clouds never really opened up, keeping things comfortable as we continued picking away at the fish If you're looking to experience the best fishing South Padre Island has to offer, I can't recommend our (AM) Fishing Trip 5 Hours enough. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, our crew will make sure you have an unforgettable time on the water.

Today's 5-Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures was a blast! Ramiro and their crew joined me down in South Padre Island, TX for a late afternoon on the water, and we made the most of the great conditions. May is a fantastic time for bay fishing around here, as the warming waters have the fish fired up and feeding aggressively. We met up at the launch around 2 PM, got the gear ready, and wasted no time getting lines in the water. The plan was to mix things up, working different depths and techniques to target a variety of species. We started off drifting and jigging, working some deeper holes and structure. It didn't take long before the rods started bending - the Spotted Sea Trout were putting on a show! These fish put up a great fight, stripping line and testing our light tackle. We boated a few nice ones, then switched over to some live bait fishing to see what else we could entice. That paid off big time, as we hooked into some solid fish, including more Spotted Sea Trout and a few other nice catches. The action was steady all afternoon, with the guys reeling in fish after fish. The best part was just being out on the water, enjoying the beautiful South Padre Island scenery and having a great time with good company. Even when the bite slowed down a bit, we just kicked back, took in the views, and swapped stories. That's what these trips are all about - the experience, not just the catches.

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.

This was our first time here. And it’s January, so I know it’s not prime time. But the fishing Josh put us on kept our heads on a swivel! I will be coming back during peak season to troll for bigger fish : ) Josh knows his Sh@!, trust his process.

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.
