South Padre Island Fishing Reports

The first hour we moved to a few locations before we found a good spot. We only caught whiting fish. They were small but we were able to catch enough for a great dinner.

Highly recommend fishing in SPI if you like deep sea fishing. This place is right for snappers and king fish among many others. The weather in the summer can get very hot so be ready and bring plenty of drinks and sun screen.

Epic place for speckled trout and red drum!

Go offshore if possible, if bay fishing is more your style make sure the guide takes you up north. fishing pressure down south has reduced the number of quality fish, plenty of small ones but not a lot of CPR hogs

March weather can be a little unpredictable so bring warmer gear just in case.

It takes more time to get out farther due to colder waters, fish are deeper.

Temper your expectations and expect to fish not catch. Casting is difficult if you’re not accustomed to bay-fishing, and lots of species are super crafty about surgically removing live shrimp from your hook.

Have fun fishing but take time to enjoy the surroundings. What a beautiful place and friendly people.

Caught some nice trout and reds. Definitely worth the time!

Be flexible with what you want to catch. Wind and tides may rewrite your plan for the day.
