What a day out on the water! I had the pleasure of guiding Timothy and their crew on a 5-Hour Fishing Trip down here in South Padre Island, TX. June is a prime time for fishing in these parts, with warmer waters drawing in all kinds of gamefish. We met up bright and early at 7 AM and wasted no time getting the lines in the water. We started by working some deep spots, using a combination of jigging and light tackle to target the Spotted Trout. The bite was steady, and it didn't take long before we had our first fish on the line. The crew was loving it, cheering each time someone set the hook. We kept that up for a while, mixing in some drift fishing to cover more ground. The partly cloudy skies and great water conditions made for a comfortable and productive day. As the morning progressed, the action just kept getting better. We boated a nice mix of Spotted Trout, landing some real quality fish. The crew was having a blast, high-fiving after each catch and swapping stories. That's what I love most about these tripsโ€”it's not just about the fishing, but the shared experience of being out on the water, surrounded by good company and great scenery. If you're looking to get in on some incredible fishing down in South Padre Island, TX, I'd highly recommend booking a trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting into the sport, our 5-Hour Fishing Trip is the perfect way to spend a day on the water.

As soon as we got out there, the action started. We covered the area using a mix of techniques - drifting, jigging, and some deep sea fishing - to find where the fish were holding. It didn't take long before the rods started bending, and Nathan was the first to hook up, reeling in a nice Redfish that put up a great fight. From there, it was one fish after another, with the crew staying busy baiting hooks and netting the catches. The Spotted trout were particularly fired up, smashing our lures and live bait offerings with reckless abandon. The best part was the energy on the boat - everyone was engaged, cheering each other on, and just genuinely having a blast. That's the experience we strive to provide on every trip - not just filling the cooler, but creating memories that'll last long after the lines are reeled in. Between the steady fishing action, the camaraderie of the crew, and the beautiful South Padre Island scenery, it was the perfect way to kick off summer. If you're looking to get in on some of the best bay fishing around, I highly recommend booking a 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures here in South Padre Island, TX.

What a fantastic morning we had out on the water today with Jeff and their crew for our Private Half-Day Morning Fishing Trip here in South Padre Island, TX! June is a prime time for inshore fishing in these parts, with the warmer weather and calm conditions making for some excellent opportunities to target species like the mighty Spotted Trout We met up at Pompano Park right at 7:00 AM and couldn't wait to get the lines in the water. As soon as we hit the flats, the fish started firing. We mixed it up, working the shallows with light tackle one moment, then shifting to some deeper water jigging and drifting to cover more ground. The crew was on point, calling out baitfish and working together to maximize our time on the water. It wasn't long before we started hooking into some feisty Spotted Trout. Those fish put up one heck of a fight, stripping line and making powerful runs, but we stayed on them and landed some real nice ones. The weather stayed pleasant all morning, with just enough cloud cover to keep things comfortable. Between the steady action and the beautiful South Padre scenery, the time flew by. Before we knew it, we were headed back to the dock, smiles all around and some great memories made. That's what days like this are all about - getting out on the water, spending quality time with good friends, and connecting with the incredible inshore fishery this area has to offer.

What anglers said about fishing in Port Isabel Lighthouse State Historic Site

I recommend TJโ€™s service for anyone. I have taken this group (an inexperienced one) on other trips where the captain had limited patience. TJ taught what he knows without making anyone feel inadequate for not already knowing. He kept track of who caught what and made sure he helped everyone on the boat land multiple fish.
Excellent
5.0 / 5
