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.

Fishing has been on fire with this perfect water temperature and idea weather. Sight casting for experienced fishermen is great in the afternoon. Less experienced fishermen still crushing it with fresh bait

Captain Mikes South Padre Fishing Report 2/7/26. The bay fishing has been good lately. Last week was action packed. Caught some snook on soft plastics in deeper water.

Pre-and post cold front fishing has been outstanding with both numbers of keeper sized speckled trout. Red fishing remains consistent both on the fly and with Conventional tackle on artificial lures.
