Trip Summary

Hot bite and happy crew! Summer fishing on South Padre Island was in full swing as I took Drew and their crew out for a 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We set out early, hitting the water at first light to make the most of the morning bite. The weather cooperated nicely, with partly cloudy skies providing some relief from the July heat. South Padre Island's diverse fishing grounds were calling our name as we prepared for a day of surf fishing, pier fishing, and even some deep sea action. Once the stage was set, we wasted no time getting lines in the water. Our strategy involved a mix of techniques to cover all the bases. We started with some surf fishing, feeling the sand between our toes as we cast into the breaking waves. As the morning progressed, we moved to one of the local piers, where the structure often holds some nice fish. The highlight of our trip came when we hooked into a beautiful Spotted Trout. At 19 inches, it was a respectable catch that put up a good fight and brought smiles all around. We wrapped up with some drift fishing venturing further out to test our skills in shallow waters. Throughout the day, the partly cloudy skies kept conditions comfortable, and the fish seemed to appreciate the mix of sun and shade as much as we did. If you're thinking about coming out to South Padre Island for some top-notch fishing, you're in for a treat.

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.
