Trip Summary

What an awesome day we had out on the water with Patrick and the crew! For a 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, we definitely didn't hold back. The weather was perfect, with partly cloudy skies throughout the day, and the water conditions were great - perfect for the mix of techniques we had planned. As soon as we got the lines in the water, the action started heating up. We covered a lot of ground, drifting, jigging, and working the light tackle, and it paid off big time. Patrick was dialed in, landing some nice Redfish that put up one heck of a fight. The rest of the group was into the action too, with everyone getting a chance to reel in a few. You could feel the energy on the boat - just a bunch of anglers having a blast on the water. Between the steady bites, we had a chance to take in the beautiful South Padre Island scenery. This is such a special place to fish, and getting out on the bay this time of year is always a treat. The Redfish were feeding aggressively, taking our baits with authority, and putting on an incredible show. Even when we didn't boat a fish, just watching them blow up on the surface was worth the trip. If you're looking for a top-notch inshore fishing experience in South Padre Island, TX, I can't recommend the 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures enough. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started, we'll put you on the fish and make sure you have an amazing time out on the water. The bay is full of hungry Redfish and other inshore species just waiting to get in on the action. So what are you waiting for? Book your trip today and let's go fishing!

South Padre Morning Bay Trip: Speckled T

Megan and family headed out for our fall morning trip with partly cloudy skies and the possibility of storms rolling in later. The early morning conditions looked promising as we launched from South Padre Island for our half-day bay fishing adventure with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We focused on drift fishing and bottom fishing techniques, with some trolling mixed in to cover more water. They managed to land a solid speckled trout and a 25” drum during our session.
