Trip Summary

Hot bite and happy crew! I had the pleasure of taking William and their crew out on a 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures on a beautiful June morning in South Padre Island, TX. The weather was partly cloudy throughout the day with storms possible, but that didn't dampen our spirits one bit. Once the stage was set, we got to work using a variety of techniques, including drift fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing. The redfish and speckled trout were really cooperating, and we managed to land some impressive catches, including a 23-inch speckled trout. The techniques we used proved to be the perfect match for the conditions, and we had a great time working the area and finding the fish. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having had a wonderful time on the water. If you're thinking about coming out to South Padre Island, TX for some world-class bay fishing, I'd highly recommend checking out Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. Their 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip is the best experience, and you're sure to have a blast whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started.

The flats and mangrove-lined shorelines of South Padre Island are ideal for targeting speckled trout and redfish, with the fish often holding in pockets of deeper water adjacent to the shallows; anglers should focus on working live bait or slow-sinking artificial lures along the edges of these areas to draw strikes. Tim and their crew, welcome aboard with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, your premier fishing guide service here on the Texas Gulf Coast. We set out from South Padre Island at 7:00 AM on a beautiful June morning, with clear conditions throughout the day. The flats and mangrove-lined shorelines of South Padre Island are ideal for targeting speckled trout and redfish, with the fish often holding in pockets of deeper water adjacent to the shallows; anglers should focus on working live bait or slow-sinking artificial lures along the edges of these areas to draw strikes. Our plan for the day was to utilize live bait fishing, surf fishing, and casting lures to target the abundant Spotted trout in the area. Throughout the trip, we were able to land several Spotted trout, with the largest measuring in at 18 inches. These feisty fish put up a great fight and are excellent table fare, making them a prime target for anglers visiting the South Padre Island region. While we didn't stick a trophy on this run, every cast and minute on the water was worth it. The opportunity to experience the incredible fishing that South Padre Island has to offer is one that I would highly recommend to any angler.
