It was a beautiful, partly cloudy morning when we set out on our 5 Hour (AM)Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures down in South Padre Island, TX. The water was in great condition, and you could feel the excitement in the air as we headed out with our group of three. May is a prime time for a variety of fishing opportunities around these parts, and we were eager to see what the day had in store. 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, covering different depths and structures to find where the fish were holding. It didn't take long before the rods started bending, and we started hauling in some nice Spotted SeaTrout. These fish are a real blast to catch, putting up a strong, acrobatic fight that had us all cheering. The bites stayed consistent throughout the trip, and we managed to land several more quality Spotted SeaTrout to round out our catch. Between the great fishing and the beautiful scenery, it was just an all-around fun day on the water. The weather was perfect, the company was awesome, and there's nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that sudden tug on the line and setting the hook. South Padre Island really is a special place for fishing, and it's always a pleasure to be able to share these experiences with anglers who are just as passionate about it as we are.

The weather was perfect, with partly cloudy skies throughout the day, and the water conditions were great - perfect for the mix of techniques we had planned. As soon as we got the lines in the water, the action started heating up. We covered a lot of ground, drifting, jigging, and working the light tackle, and it paid off big time. Patrick was dialed in, landing some nice Redfish that put up one heck of a fight. The rest of the group was into the action too, with everyone getting a chance to reel in a few.

It was a beautiful morning to be out on the water near South Padre Island, TX, as we kicked off our 3 Hour (AM) Quick Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. The weather was clearing up nicely after some earlier clouds, setting the stage for a great day of fishing. As a local guide, I know May is a prime time to target Spotted Sea Trout and Redfish in these waters, with the warming temperatures bringing them closer to the surface. We started off using a mix of techniques - jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing - to see what the fish were keyed in on. It didn't take long before Thomas' rod doubled over, and he was into a nice oversized Spotted Sea Trout. That fish put up a great fight, peeling line and making some strong runs, but Thomas kept his cool and landed it perfectly. From there, the action stayed steady, with the four of them boating a nice mix of Spotted Sea Troutand Redfish. The fish were really aggressive and feeding hard, smashing our baits and coast to coast lures as soon as they hit the water. The best part was just being out on the water, taking in the South Padre scenery and enjoying the company. Even when we weren't hooked up, it was a pleasure to just soak up the sun and listen to the waves. That's what makes these trips so special - not just the fish you catch, but the overall experience of getting to spend quality time out on the water. We laughed, swapped stories, and genuinely just had a great time together. If you're looking to get in on some exciting fishing action near South Padre Island, I'd highly recommend booking a 3 Hour (AM) Quick Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. Whether you're an experienced angler after Spotted Weakfish or just want to enjoy a fun, relaxing morning on the water, we'll make sure you have an unforgettable time. The fish are biting, the weather is beautiful, and we've got all the gear and expertise to put you on the fish. So what are you waiting for? Book your trip today and let's go fishing!

What a day out on the water with Jeremy! We headed out for a 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, and the fishing was on fire. The weather was a little iffy, with some storms rolling through, but we managed to time it just right and stayed dry the whole trip. As soon as we got the lines in the water, the action started. We tried a mix of techniques - jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing - to really cover all our bases and find what the fish were dialed into that day. It wasn't long before Jeremy's rod bent and he hooked into a feisty Redfish. That fish put up one heck of a fight, but he stuck with it and landed it beautifully. We high-fived and got the lines back in the water, and soon after, his buddy hooked into a nice Spotted sea Trout The two of them were trading fish back and forth, keeping us all laughing and having a great time. Throughout the trip, we made some adjustments to our approach and technique to stay on the fish. The weather did its best to throw us some curveballs, but we just rolled with the punches and kept focusing on putting these guys on the bite. And you know what they say - when the fish are biting, nothing else matters! We had a blast working the water, feeling the pull of those strong fish, and sharing some awesome memories out on the bay.

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.
