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!

Non-stop bites all day long! Summer fishing on South Padre Island was in full swing when I took Gary out for a half-day Morning trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We hit the water around 9am in the under sunny skies - perfect conditions for targeting some Spotted Trout in the bay. South Padre's known for its diverse fishing opportunities, and I was eager to show Gary why our bay fishing trips are so popular this time of year. Once the stage was set, we got right to work trying different techniques to entice those Trout. We started with some productive bay fishing spots. Gary and family were quick learners, adapting to each method as we switched it up. Our persistence paid off when he landed a nice 17-inch Spotted Trout - not a monster, but a solid catch for a half-day trip. The clear conditions held steady throughout our time on the water, which really helped us stay on the fish. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, Gary proud of his catch and me satisfied we'd put him on some good action.
