Trip Summary

We had a great day out on the water - the weather was partly cloudy throughout, but the conditions were perfect for some, jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing. The water was in great shape, and we were able to target a variety of species. It didn't take long before Robert hooked into a nice Spotted Sea Trout putting up a solid fight before we got it in the boat. We continued working different techniques, and soon after, he reeled in a feisty Redfish. The action stayed steady, and we had a blast switching up our presentations to keep the fish interested. Even though we didn't land any trophy-sized fish, the trip was a huge success. Robert was a great sport, and we had plenty of laughs out on the water. It's always a good time when you can get someone dialed in on the bite and help them experience the thrill of catching some quality South Padre Island gamefish. At the end of the day, that's what these trips are all about - creating lasting memories on the water. If you're looking to enjoy some of the best fishing South Padre Island has to offer, I highly recommend booking a 5 Hour (AM) Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, we'll make sure you have an unforgettable experience chasing species like Spotted Sea Trout and Redfish.

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.
