Trip Summary

Fishing down in South Padre Island, Texas is always an incredible experience, and this afternoon's (PM) Fishing Trip 5 Hours with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures was no exception. April is a prime time for targeting some of the area's most exciting inshore and nearshore species, as the warmer waters start to bring the fish closer to the surface. With partly cloudy skies and great water conditions, it was shaping up to be a awesome day on the water with the group. We started off with a mix of light tackle, and drift fishing techniques, working a variety of spots to find the hot bite. It didn't take long before one of the rods bent over hard—Julie had hooked into a feisty Red Drum that really put up a fight. After an exhilarating battle, we got the fish in the boat and snapped a quick photo before reviving and releasing it. The action stayed steady from there, with the group hooking into more Red Drum throughout the day. It was a blast watching everyone experiencing the raw power of these incredible inshore game fish. In between the bites, we had the chance to take in the beautiful South Padre Island scenery. The calm waters and gentle breeze made for a relaxing backdrop as we shared stories and enjoyed each other's company.

We started the day using a mix of jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing techniques, working different depths and structures to find where the fish were holding. It didn't take long before the rods started bending—Keith and the crew were into some solid Spotted Sea trout and redfish putting up great fights and keeping us on our toes. In between those hookups, we managed to land a few Seatrout and Redfish as well, adding some more variety to the box. The action stayed steady throughout the morning, with plenty of quality fish coming over the rails.

What a fun day on the water we had with Mark and their crew for our (AM) Fishing Trip 5 Hours out of South Padre Island, TX. May is a great time to be out here, as the warming waters bring the Spotted Sea Trout in close to the shore, making for some excellent light tackle and jigging opportunities. We met up at the South Padre Island Marina around 7:30 AM and got the group set up with rods and gear. The weather was starting to turn a bit cloudy, but the water was looking great - perfect conditions to get the lines out and start working some areas known to hold Spotted Sea Trout. We started off at Laguna Vista covering a lot of ground to find the active fish. It didn't take long before the first rod started bending, and Mark was into a nice Spotted Sea Trout. That fish put up a great fight, stripping line and making some good runs, but Mark kept the pressure on and we soon had it in the boat. The bite stayed steady, and we kept adding to the total, mixing in some light tackle and drift fishing techniques to cover different depths and presentations. The Spotted Sea Trout were really keyed in, smashing our baits and lures with authority. In between catches, we took some time to enjoy the scenery and have a few laughs - it was just an all-around great day on the water. The clouds never really opened up, keeping things comfortable as we continued picking away at the fish If you're looking to experience the best fishing South Padre Island has to offer, I can't recommend our (AM) Fishing Trip 5 Hours enough.
