Trip Summary

Action-packed day from the get-go! I took Thomas and their crew out for a 5 Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures in South Padre Island, TX. We hit the water in the late afternoon, ready to make the most of our summer outing. The weather played nice, staying partly cloudy throughout our trip, which made for comfortable conditions on the bay. South Padre Island's waters were calling, and we were eager to see what they'd offer up. Our adventure was all about giving the crew a taste of the best experience on the water, and boy, did we deliver. Once the stage was set, we dove right into the action. We mixed it up with a variety of techniques. The diversity paid off as we landed a nice mix of species. The highlight of our catch was an 28-inch Spotted Trout, a real beauty that put up a good fight. We also hooked into a 17-inch Redfish, always a crowd-pleaser in these parts. Even managed to pull in a 12-inch Hardhead Sea Catfish, which might not be the trophy fish, but it added to the variety of our day. Each catch brought its own excitement, and it was great to see the crew's skills improve as we worked different spots and techniques. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having given Thomas and their crew a solid taste of what South Padre Island fishing is all about. The mix of fishing really showcased the versatility of our waters and the different skills needed for each approach. It's days like this that remind me why I love guiding on these waters - there's always something new to experience, no matter how many times you cast a line. For those of you thinking about your next fishing adventure, I can't recommend South Padre Island enough. Whether you're after the thrill of deep sea fishing or the laid-back vibe of surf casting, we've got it all. Our 5 Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip is perfect for anglers looking to pack a lot of action into an afternoon. You'll get to try various techniques and target a range of species, just like Thomas and their crew did. And with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, you're not just getting a fishing trip - you're getting local knowledge and a commitment to making your time on the water count. So if you're ready to test your skills against some of the Gulf's most sought-after fish, give us a shout. We'll set you up with everything you need for a memorable day on the water, from gear to guidance.

Half Day Morning Bay Trip: Solid Redfish
Half Day Morning Bay Trip: Solid Redfish
September 5, 2025
Ruben and their crew joined us for an early morning fall trip with clear conditions throughout the day. The weather stayed consistent, giving us solid conditions to work with on the water. We headed out with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures for their 1/2 Day Morning Bay Fishing Trip. We focused on bottom fishing, casting with lures, and bait fishing to target the redfish that frequent these waters. The combination of techniques worked well, and we managed to connect with some redfish during our time out there. These methods are reliable in this area because they cover different parts of the water column and give us multiple ways to present bait to the fish. We wrapped up the morning with some solid action and good times on the water. If you're looking to get out on the water for some quality fishing action, Today We Fish Charter and Adventures has you covered with our 1/2 Day Morning Bay Fishing Trip.
