Trip Summary

What a morning we had out on the water with Lee, Daniel and Caiden! We set out from South Padre Island, TX, for a 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, and it was a blast from start to finish. May is a prime time for fishing around these parts, with the waters warming up and the Spotted Seatrout becoming quite active. When we hit the bay, the conditions were just about perfect - the clouds were starting to clear, and we had great water to work with. We wasted no time getting our lines in and covering some ground, trying different techniques like jigging, popping light tackle, and drift fishing to see what the fish were responding to. It didn't take long before the rods started bending, and we had some solid Spotted Sea trout hitting our baits. These fish really put up a great fight, making strong runs and keeping us on our toes. We managed to land a few nice ones, and it was awesome seeing the excitement on Romana's face as they reeled them in. In between the Weakfish action, we also saw some other species move through, but the Spotted Sea trout were definitely the stars of the show. The whole trip had such a fun, relaxed vibe to it. The crew were fantastic company, and we shared plenty of laughs out on the water. Even when the bite slowed down a bit, we just took in the scenery and enjoyed being out on the bay. That's what makes these trips so special - sure, the fishing action is awesome, but it's the overall experience that really makes it unforgettable. If you're looking to get out on the water in South Padre Island, TX and chase some incredible Spotted Sea Trout, I can't recommend the 3 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures enough. We'll make sure you have a blast from start to finish!

What a great day on the water, couldn't ask for more action! I had the pleasure of taking Juan and their crew out for a 1/2 Day Morning Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We set out early on a beautiful summer morning from South Padre Island, TX. The conditions were perfect - clear skies and calm waters greeted us as we headed out at first light. It's always a treat to be on the water as the day begins, especially when you're with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. Once the stage was set, we got down to business. We employed a mix of techniques including surf casting, bottom fishing, and drift fishing. These methods are ideal for the diverse marine life around South Padre Island. Our efforts paid off when we hooked into some Spotted Weakfish. The highlight of our catch was a nice 12-inch Spotted Weakfish. While it wasn't a monster, it put up a good fight and gave Juan and the crew a taste of what South Padre Island fishing is all about. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, enjoying the thrill of the catch and the beauty of being out on the water.
