Trip Summary

My wife and I took off this morning a little later than we usually head out, we went looking for mangrove snapper. a delicious eating fish that are very numerous down here in South Padre Island I didn’t take very good pictures, but we caught anywhere from 25 to 30 of them in a couple hours on live shrimp. This is a fantastic trip for kids or adults that just wanna catch lots of fish .

I had the pleasure of hosting a family from Minnesota, specifically Brainerd, which is adjacent to my former residence in Grand Rapids, MN, for an exceptional day on the water. This morning's fishing excursion at South Padre Island was outstanding, yielding a diverse array of fish. Although strong winds prevailed, my 26-foot Shallow Sport X3 ensured a comfortable experience, and the weather was beautiful.
