Trip Summary

We had a great day out on the water with Jake Conner and the crew for our 5 Hour (AM) Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. March is a prime time for a variety of fishing techniques here in Texas, so I knew we were in for an exciting day on the water. The conditions were perfect—clear skies, calm waters, and ideal temperatures. We met up at the South Padre Island, TX launch ramp early at 7:00 AM and got the group set up. We started our day with some trout fishing, working the deeper channels and ledges with jigging techniques. The light tackle action was non-stop, with the group hooking into some feisty fish and putting their skills to the test. We switched it up throughout the day, mixing in some drift fishing and even throwing some topwater lures to target aggressive surface-dwelling predators. Though we didn't manage to land any big prize catches, we still had a blast out on the water, enjoying the beautiful scenery and great company. The variety of techniques we used throughout the day kept things interesting and engaging for the whole crew. It was awesome to see everyone work together, share tips, and collaborate to put fish in the boat. Whether it was the thrill of the bite, the camaraderie amongst the group, or just the sheer joy of being out on the water, this trip had it all. These are the kinds of days that remind me why I love being a fishing guide—seeing the excitement on anglers' faces, helping them improve their skills, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Hot bite and happy crew! Summer fishing on South Padre Island was in full swing as the crew was out for a 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We set out early, hitting the water at first light to make the most of the morning bite. The weather cooperated nicely, with partly cloudy skies providing some relief from the July heat. South Padre Island's diverse fishing grounds were calling our name as we prepared for a day of live croaker trout fishing. Once the stage was set, we wasted no time getting lines in the water. Our strategy involved a mix of techniques to cover all the bases. We started with some surf fishing, feeling the sand between our toes as we cast into the breaking waves. As the morning progressed, we moved to one of the local piers, where the structure often holds some nice fish. The highlight of our trip came when we hooked into a beautiful Spotted trout at 19inches, it was a respectable catch that put up a good fight and brought smiles all around. We wrapped up with some deep sea fishing, venturing further out to test our skills in shallow waters. Throughout the day, the partly cloudy skies kept conditions comfortable, and the fish seemed to appreciate the mix of sun and shade as much as we did.
