Trip Summary

Today was one of those perfect days out on the water here in South Padre Island, TX. The sun was shining, the winds were light, and the fish were biting. Justin Granger and his buddy joined us for our 5 Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip, and we were all eager to get out and see what we could find. As soon as we set out, the rods started bending. The Red Drum (also known as Red Fish) were really fired up, hitting our live baits and jigs hard. We had a blast battling those strong, acrobatic fish, watching them dance on the surface before we carefully brought them aboard. The Spotted Seatrout were also in a feeding mood, and we managed to hook into some nice ones using a mix of techniques like drifting and light tackle. It was nonstop action, with both anglers staying busy the entire time. By the time we headed back in, the cooler was nicely stocked with a great mix of fish. But the real highlight was just being out there, enjoying the beautiful bay waters and having a ton of fun in the process. That's what these South Padre Island fishing trips are all about – getting out, connecting with nature, and creating lasting memories, whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to try something new.

What a day out on the water with Jeremy! We headed out for a 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, and the fishing was on fire. The weather was a little iffy, with some storms rolling through, but we managed to time it just right and stayed dry the whole trip. As soon as we got the lines in the water, the action started. We tried a mix of techniques - jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing - to really cover all our bases and find what the fish were dialed into that day. It wasn't long before Jeremy's rod bent and he hooked into a feisty Redfish. That fish put up one heck of a fight, but he stuck with it and landed it beautifully. We high-fived and got the lines back in the water, and soon after, his buddy hooked into a nice Spotted sea Trout The two of them were trading fish back and forth, keeping us all laughing and having a great time. Throughout the trip, we made some adjustments to our approach and technique to stay on the fish. The weather did its best to throw us some curveballs, but we just rolled with the punches and kept focusing on putting these guys on the bite. And you know what they say - when the fish are biting, nothing else matters! We had a blast working the water, feeling the pull of those strong fish, and sharing some awesome memories out on the bay.

We had a great day of fishing on the waters around South Padre Island, Texas. As a guide with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, I was excited to take Melanie and David out for our 5 Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip. May is a solid time for this type of light tackle fishing, with the warmer waters and seasonal patterns bringing in some great inshore action. We met up at the South Padre Island launch point and got everyone situated and ready to go. The cloudy skies didn't dampen our spirits, as the calm conditions and good water clarity had us feeling optimistic about finding the fish. We started off drifting and jigging, working different depths and structure to locate the Spotted Trout and Redfish that were our primary targets. It didn't take long before the rods started bending, and we were into some quality fish. The light tackle fishing kept things exciting, with the fish putting up a great fight on the relatively thin line. Melanie and David were both new to this style of fishing, but they picked it up quickly and did an awesome job landing the fish. We had a steady pick of Spotted Trout and Redfish throughout the trip, making for some great action and variety. In between the bites, we enjoyed taking in the coastal scenery and having some great conversations. Overall, it was just an awesome day on the water. The fishing was solid, the company was great, and we all left with smiles on our faces. If you're looking to experience the best of South Padre Island's inshore fishing, I can't recommend our 5 Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip enough. Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking to try something new, we'll make sure you have an unforgettable time on the water. Book your trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures today, and let's go chase some Spotted Weakfish and Redfish!
