Spotted Seatrout
Trip Summary
Trip Summary
What a great afternoon we had out on the water chasing Spotted seatrout with Marcela Rodriguez on our 3 hr Afternoon Trip. The conditions were perfect - clear skies and great water throughout the day. March is a prime time for light tackle fishing here in South Padre Island, Texas, as the warming waters bring the trout closer to the surface, making for some exciting action.
As soon as we got our lines in the water, the fish started biting. We were using a variety of techniques -jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing - to cover different depths and find where the trout were holding. It didn't take long before Marcela's Son's rod doubled over with the first good fish of the day. He fought it hard and we soon had a nice Spotted seatrout in the boat. We kept the momentum going, with both of us hooking into more trout on a steady pick. The fish were really aggressive, smashing our baits and putting up great fights.
By the time we headed back in, we'd had a banner day on the water. The Spotted seatrout fishing was lights out, and we had a great time out on the water. That's what makes these trips so special - not just the fish you catch, but the whole experience of being out on the water, enjoying the day with good company. I always love seeing the excitement on anglers' faces when they hook into a nice fish, and Marcela was no exception. She was all smiles after landing that first trout, and it just set the tone for the rest of the trip.
