Inshore Bonanza: Sea Trout and Redfish F
Inshore Bonanza: Sea Trout and Redfish F
May 25, 2025
The weather was on our side too, with some clearing clouds in the afternoon providing ideal conditions for a productive day of fishing. As soon as we got our lines in the water, the action started heating up. We worked a mix of jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing techniques, and it wasn't long before we were into the fish. The Spotted Trout and Redfish were feeding aggressively, putting up some awesome fights and filling our cooler. It was nonstop action, with the crew staying busy and the rods constantly bending. Beyond the great fishing, the overall vibe of the trip was just perfect. Benito and their crew were an absolute blast to be around, and we shared plenty of laughs and good conversation in between catching fish. That's what really makes these trips so special - not just the chance to hook into some quality inshore gamefish, but the opportunity to spend a morning on the water with a fun, easygoing group of anglers. By the time we headed back in, we had a cooler full of delicious fillets and memories that will last a lifetime. If you're looking to experience the best inshore fishing that South Padre Island has to offer, be sure to book your 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a complete beginner, our knowledgeable guides will put you on the fish and make sure you have an absolute blast in the process. From Spotted Weakfish and Redfish to whatever else is biting, we'll make sure you get in on the action and leave with a smile on your face. So what are you waiting for? Book your trip today and let's get out on the book!

May 23, 2025
Today, I had the pleasure of taking Kolleen and their crew out on a 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. Despite the partly cloudy skies and the possibility of some strong storms, the weather held up, and we had a great time on the water. We started the day bright and early, meeting at South Padre Island, TX, and heading out into the bay. The water conditions were perfect, and we were eager to see what the day had in store. Using a combination of jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing techniques, we scoured the bay, searching for the perfect spots to target our quarry. It didn't take long before the action started heating up. Kolleen and their crew were reeling in Spotted Seatrout and Redfish one after the other, with the occasional surprise catch mixed in. The fish were putting up a great fight, and we all had a blast trying to land them. The varied techniques we employed allowed us to cover a lot of ground and really dial in on the best spots. As the trip drew to a close, we reflected on the fantastic morning we had spent together. The weather, the fishing, and the camaraderie all combined to create an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to try your hand at some bay fishing, Today We Fish Charter and Adventures has the perfect trip for you. So, if you're planning a visit to South Padre Island, TX, be sure to book your 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with us. We can't wait to share the thrill of the hunt and the joy of the catch with you!

What a morning we had out on the water with Lee, Daniel and Caiden! We set out from South Padre Island, TX, for a 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, and it was a blast from start to finish. May is a prime time for fishing around these parts, with the waters warming up and the Spotted Seatrout becoming quite active. When we hit the bay, the conditions were just about perfect - the clouds were starting to clear, and we had great water to work with. We wasted no time getting our lines in and covering some ground, trying different techniques like jigging, popping light tackle, and drift fishing to see what the fish were responding to. It didn't take long before the rods started bending, and we had some solid Spotted Sea trout hitting our baits. These fish really put up a great fight, making strong runs and keeping us on our toes. We managed to land a few nice ones, and it was awesome seeing the excitement on Romana's face as they reeled them in. In between the Weakfish action, we also saw some other species move through, but the Spotted Sea trout were definitely the stars of the show. The whole trip had such a fun, relaxed vibe to it. The crew were fantastic company, and we shared plenty of laughs out on the water. Even when the bite slowed down a bit, we just took in the scenery and enjoyed being out on the bay. That's what makes these trips so special - sure, the fishing action is awesome, but it's the overall experience that really makes it unforgettable. If you're looking to get out on the water in South Padre Island, TX and chase some incredible Spotted Sea Trout, I can't recommend the 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures enough. We'll make sure you have a blast from start to finish!

The weather for our trip could not have been better. Cooler in the morning (mid/high 70’s) with a decent breeze to keep the heat at bay.

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.
