Trip Summary

day's 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures was an absolute blast. I met up with Keith and their crew early that morning down in South Padre Island, TX, excited to get them out on the water and into some action. May is a prime time for bay fishing down in this area, with Spotted Seatrout and Redfish both actively feeding in the shallows. The weather was looking good—partly cloudy throughout the day, with some light winds to keep us comfortable. As we launched the boat and headed out, the water conditions were excellent, clear and calm, giving us great visibility to spot any baitfish or cruising gamefish. We started the day using a mix of jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing techniques, working different depths and structures to find where the fish were holding. It didn't take long before the rods started bending—Keith and the crew were into some solid Spotted Sea trout and redfish putting up great fights and keeping us on our toes. In between those hookups, we managed to land a few Seatrout and Redfish as well, adding some more variety to the box. The action stayed steady throughout the morning, with plenty of quality fish coming over the rails. Beyond just the great fishing, the real highlight was the positive energy and camaraderie of the group. Everyone was engaged, cheering each other on, and just genuinely having a fantastic time out on the water. That's what makes these trips so special—it's not just about the number of fish you catch, but the overall experience of being out on the water, enjoying the day with good company. If you're looking to get in on some incredible bay fishing action down in South Padre Island, TX, be sure to book your 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, we'll make sure you have a blast reeling in some quality gamefish and creating lasting memories on the water. Can't wait to have you join us!

August 19, 2025
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.
