Captain Mike's South Padre Fishing Report 3/20/26. The bay fishing has remained solid. Catching some heavy speckled trout on soft plastics in deeper water. Redfish are active once the wind kicks up. Catching reds on soft plastics and fresh cut mullet out on the grass flats. The windier conditions have led to some memorable fishing trips with larger plastics. Fish are moving around a lot and a productive area may not be hot on consecutive days. Find some bait activity and the gamefish will be nearby. Black drum are schooled up if you want to target those wormy fish. All...

Captain Mikes South Padre Fishing Report 3/2/26. The bay fishing has remained decent to good through out the past couple of weeks. Catching solid redfish and speckled trout on soft plastics. Fresh cut bait and plastic lures are working good on the redfish out on the grass flats once the wind picks up. Actually been very windy and warmer weather recently and that combination has led to some outstanding redfish trips. Speckled trout are hanging deeper drop offs and working shallower as the heat of the day warms up. Everyone is catching black drum if you want to target them....

Actually been very windy and warmer weather recently and that combination has led to some outstanding redfish trips. Speckled trout are hanging deeper drop offs and working shallower as the heat of the day warms up. Everyone is catching black drum if you want to target them. There are some large schools working the same old hangouts for them. I expect the bite to remain productive throughout the next month.

Howdy, both Fly Fishing and Conventional have been great as conditions improved between cold fronts. Redfish have been plentiful on both soft plastics and top water. Speckled trout bike has been solid with some over slot fish mixed in. Soft plastics and gulp under popping court have been the ticket.

    Our day with Cliff was great. Our group was two dads with 2 seven year olds. The kids had the best time. They each caught a few fish and he was incredibly patient and kind with them as they learned. We will be back.
