Trip Summary

The flats and mangrove-lined shorelines of South Padre Island are ideal for targeting speckled trout and redfish, with the fish often holding in pockets of deeper water adjacent to the shallows; anglers should focus on working live bait or slow-sinking artificial lures along the edges of these areas to draw strikes. Tim and their crew, welcome aboard with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, your premier fishing guide service here on the Texas Gulf Coast. We set out from South Padre Island at 7:00 AM on a beautiful June morning, with clear conditions throughout the day. The flats and mangrove-lined shorelines of South Padre Island are ideal for targeting speckled trout and redfish, with the fish often holding in pockets of deeper water adjacent to the shallows; anglers should focus on working live bait or slow-sinking artificial lures along the edges of these areas to draw strikes. Our plan for the day was to utilize live bait fishing, surf fishing, and casting lures to target the abundant Spotted trout in the area. Throughout the trip, we were able to land several Spotted trout, with the largest measuring in at 18 inches. These feisty fish put up a great fight and are excellent table fare, making them a prime target for anglers visiting the South Padre Island region. While we didn't stick a trophy on this run, every cast and minute on the water was worth it. The opportunity to experience the incredible fishing that South Padre Island has to offer is one that I would highly recommend to any angler. If you're looking to book your own unforgettable fishing adventure, I'd be more than happy to discuss our (PM) Fishing Trip 5 Hours package with you. With Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, you'll enjoy the best experience the Texas Gulf Coast has to offer. Give me a call, and let's get you out on the water for your next great fishing trip.
