South Padre Morning Bay Trip: Speckled T
South Padre Morning Bay Trip: Speckled T
November 2, 2025
Megan and family headed out for our fall morning trip with partly cloudy skies and the possibility of storms rolling in later. The early morning conditions looked promising as we launched from South Padre Island for our half-day bay fishing adventure with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We focused on drift fishing and bottom fishing techniques, with some trolling mixed in to cover more water. They managed to land a solid speckled trout and a 25” drum during our session. South Padre Island's bay system works well for these techniques because of the varied structure and current patterns that hold fish consistently. We wrapped up the morning run with good action and plenty of time before any weather moved in. If you're looking to get on the water around South Padre Island, our 1/2 Day Morning Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures offers the perfect opportunity to target speckled trout and other bay species. We use proven techniques like drift fishing, bottom fishing, and trolling to maximize your chances of success in these productive waters. The morning trips work especially well during fall months when the fishing picks up and weather patterns are more predictable. Whether you're new to bay fishing or an experienced angler, we'll put you on fish using the methods that work best for South Padre Island's unique bay system. Book your trip with us and experience why our morning bay fishing adventures consistently produce results in these waters.

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.

I would recommend that everyone take sea sick meds the night before and first thing in the morning. None of us experienced seasickness and we had a great time.
