Spotted Trout Bonanza on South Padre Isl
Spotted Trout Bonanza on South Padre Isl
June 17, 2025
South Padre Island's extensive mangrove forests and tidal flats provide ideal habitat for redfish, speckled trout, and black drum, which often congregate in deeper channels and around shell reefs during the falling tide to ambush baitfish; anglers should focus on these areas with live shrimp or topwater lures for the best results. Christopher and their crew, welcome aboard with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, your premier fishing guide service here on the Texas Gulf Coast. We set out from South Padre Island at 6:30 am on a beautiful June morning, with clear conditions throughout the day. South Padre Island's extensive mangrove forests and tidal flats provide ideal habitat for redfish, speckled trout, and black drum, which often congregate in deeper channels and around shell reefs during the falling tide to ambush baitfish; anglers should focus on these areas with live shrimp or topwater lures for the best results. Our plan for the day was to target the abundant spotted trout that call these waters home. We started with some classic surf fishing techniques, working live bait and artificial lures along the shoreline. The spotted weakfish were in a feeding mood, and we soon had several nice fish in the 20-inch range in the boat. These aggressive predators are perfectly suited for the South Padre Island area, aggressively chasing down baitfish and putting up a spirited fight on light tackle. If you're looking to experience the incredible fishing that the Texas Gulf Coast has to offer, I highly recommend booking a trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures.

What a day out on the water! I had the pleasure of guiding Timothy and their crew on a 5-Hour Fishing Trip down here in South Padre Island, TX. June is a prime time for fishing in these parts, with warmer waters drawing in all kinds of gamefish. We met up bright and early at 7 AM and wasted no time getting the lines in the water. We started by working some deep spots, using a combination of jigging and light tackle to target the Spotted Trout. The bite was steady, and it didn't take long before we had our first fish on the line. The crew was loving it, cheering each time someone set the hook. We kept that up for a while, mixing in some drift fishing to cover more ground. The partly cloudy skies and great water conditions made for a comfortable and productive day. As the morning progressed, the action just kept getting better. We boated a nice mix of Spotted Trout, landing some real quality fish. The crew was having a blast, high-fiving after each catch and swapping stories. That's what I love most about these trips—it's not just about the fishing, but the shared experience of being out on the water, surrounded by good company and great scenery. If you're looking to get in on some incredible fishing down in South Padre Island, TX, I'd highly recommend booking a trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures.

As soon as we got out there, the action started. We covered the area using a mix of techniques - drifting, jigging, and some deep sea fishing - to find where the fish were holding. It didn't take long before the rods started bending, and Nathan was the first to hook up, reeling in a nice Redfish that put up a great fight. From there, it was one fish after another, with the crew staying busy baiting hooks and netting the catches. The Spotted trout were particularly fired up, smashing our lures and live bait offerings with reckless abandon. The best part was the energy on the boat - everyone was engaged, cheering each other on, and just genuinely having a blast. That's the experience we strive to provide on every trip - not just filling the cooler, but creating memories that'll last long after the lines are reeled in. Between the steady fishing action, the camaraderie of the crew, and the beautiful South Padre Island scenery, it was the perfect way to kick off summer. If you're looking to get in on some of the best bay fishing around, I highly recommend booking a 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures here in South Padre Island, TX.
