Trip Summary

Hot bite and happy crew! Summer fishing on South Padre Island was in full swing as I took Ricardo and their crew out for a 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We launched early, hitting the water at first light to make the most of the morning bite. The day started clear, but we knew clouds were rolling in later. That's typical for July here in South Padre, and often the fish respond well to changing conditions. Once the stage was set, we got down to business. I mixed it up, trying Live Croaker action to see where the Spotted Sea Trout were hanging out. These fish can be tricky, but with persistence and the right approach, we managed to hook into some action. Ricardo's crew landed a nice 17-inch Spotted Sea Trout, which gave us all a boost. While it wasn't a monster, it was a solid catch and showed we were on the right track. We kept at it, working different spots and techniques as the morning progressed. The incoming clouds in the afternoon actually seemed to turn the bite on a bit more. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having put some fish in the boat and enjoyed a great morning on the water. If you're thinking about coming down to South Padre Island for some fishing, now's a great time to get out there.

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.
