South Texas Fishing Report

The bite stayed strong despite the summer heat. Early mornings have been producing solid trout along the grass lines and deeper potholes, while the drum bite has remained consistent around structure and scattered shell.

We've been finding fish by staying mobile and covering water until we locate active schools. The trout are feeding early, and the drum have been keeping rods bent throughout the day. Live bait and artificials have both been producing depending on conditions.

With summer in full swing, the fish are here and the action is heating up.

44 keeper Pompano yesterday!

The Pompano bite has been absolutely awesome this month, we are also catching some small sharks, some Spanish mackerel, some lady fish, and some hard tales in between. Plenty of action for everyone this time of year. Some trips we have a Rod bending at all times!

Fishing in Key West has been good lately. As the summer rolls in the snappers are spawning and yellowtail mutton and mangy's have been eating well along the reefs. Dolphin have been showing up but not in great numbers as of yet. Just a few big ones here and there and plenty of tiny ones. Hoping for that to turn into bigger fish soon.

Fishing has been good before it gets to hot once the afternoon hits the fish have been a little slower so if a trip is to be booked I'd definitely recommend a morning or night trip

Recent rains have created a wide range of conditions across Lake Austin, with water temperatures ranging from the upper 60s on the upper end of the lake to the low 80s farther downstream. Water clarity also varies significantly depending on location, with visibility ranging from about 2 to 6 feet. Despite the changing conditions, the fishing has remained consistently good.

Bass are beginning to settle into summer patterns and are increasingly grouping into schools around submerged vegetation in 5–15 feet of water. Neko-rigged creature baits have been producing the most reliable action, while topwater stick baits have been a great...

option for targeting active fish feeding higher in the water column. Anglers who spend time covering water and locating productive stretches of vegetation are finding the best success, with opportunities to catch multiple fish once an active group is located.

    It may not have been our day to pull sharks out of the water but Tristan and his team made for a fantastic experience.. I asked lots of questions about the strategies they used to fish and learned so much. My family enjoyed their time and we will be looking forward to a future guided fish trip. Thanks again guys. Be safe out there

    We really enjoyed our time fishing with Hunter. He really spent alot of time finding the right spots to catch fish. We caught 20 lbs. of fish that we got to take back to Iowa. Hunter was awesome.

    Trip: Reeling In Memories

  • ★★★★★
    We had such a fantastic time with Tim! We took the half-day tour, and we even wrapped it up early because we had limited out on Trout. Tim was such a great and funny guide, showing us how and where to throw the bait/lures so we could catch fish—and we did! I would definitely recommend Tim for your next fishing trip to SPI. We’re always booking with Tim when we’re back here.

    We had a great trip with captain bill this morning! The fish weren’t cooperating at first but we ended up getting on some bait fish and some massive black tip sharks! We didn’t leave empty handed and we had one heck of a fishing experience! Bill will get you on some fish

    Trip: Biloxi Inshore Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    Blake accommodated our location by coming 30 minutes closer to Navarre, great start. We fought some wind but overall had a great afternoon. Blake was very knowledgeable and courteous to my two young boys, which for me ensures he’ll get our business again. The highlight of the day was our rescue of a pelican wrapped up in fishing line, absolutely amazing to see and watch Blake in his element, saving wildlife. A hands on miracle!

    We arrived at the Dock to meet the Captain and get our trip underway ,Captain Tommy was awesome right from the start not to mention very nice boat with a lot of room and very fast !!! He was an awesome Fisherman and would teach and show his skill’s and would answer any questions. Captain Tommy would absolutely put you right on the fish , if he didn’t like a spot he would drag and go somewhere else !! 10 out of 10 for us ,we would always book him if we are in the area. Hope to get him up to Destin sometime!!!
