Trip Summary

Hot bite and happy crew! I kicked off a fantastic summer morning with Jeffrey and buddies for our 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip out of South Padre Island, TX. The day started early at 6:30 as we set out under clear skies, perfect conditions for a day on the water. Jeffrey was ready for action, and I was excited to show him the best spots Today We Fish Charter and Adventures has to offer. With our gear rigged and ready, we hit the water and tried a mix of techniques. We started with some croaker fishing . As the morning progressed, we ventured out for some marker 212 soft plastic fishing to round out the experience. The variety kept things interesting, and it paid off. Jeffrey landed a nice Spotted Trout measuring 25 inches - a great catch that put up a good fight. It was a highlight of the trip and showed why South Padre Island is such a prime fishing destination. Throughout the day, the clear conditions held steady, giving us optimal visibility and comfortable fishing. We wrapped up our 5-hour adventure with smiles all around, Jeffrey proud of his catch and me thrilled to have shared another great day on the water.
