Trip Summary

Action-packed day from the get-go! I took Juan out for a 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures in South Padre Island, TX. We hit the water in the early morning, ready to make the most of our summer outing. The weather started off a bit iffy, but it cleared up nicely in the afternoon. There was a chance of strong storms, but luckily they held off during our trip. South Padre Island's waters were calling, and we were eager to see what they had in store for us. Once the stage was set, we got down to business. We mixed it up with some surf fishing, pier fishing, and even ventured into some deep sea fishing. This variety of techniques really paid off. Juan landed a nice 19-inch Spotted Trout which put up a good fight. But the real highlight was reeling in an 18-inch Spotted Trout- always a crowd-pleaser in these parts. To top it off, we hooked an 18-inch Bonnethead Shark, adding some excitement to our day. South Padre Island's diverse fishery really showed its colors, giving us a mix of inshore and offshore action. We wrapped up our trip with smiles all around, having experienced some of the best fishing South Padre Island has to offer. It's days like this that remind me why I love guiding on these waters. The mix of species and the variety of fishing techniques we used really showcased what makes this area special.

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.
