Redfish and drum are holding steady on drains after cold fronts, lots of good specs on the flats when the water warms up.

The bay fishing has remained good through out the past couple of weeks. Catching solid redfish out on the flats around South Padre. Fresh cut mullet or ballyhoo rigged up and off the bottom is working great. Catching both reds and speckled trout on soft plastics that resemble mullet-type lures. Try working plastics slower than normal across sand potholes. Trout are hanging in deeper water transitions. Good time to go hook into some good fish here at South Padre.

Hey! Good morning, started back up this week after the holidays. Water temps have cooled off and water temps have dropped. Surf is full of big redfish slots and oversize. At the same time the sharks, stingrays and trash fish have all gone to deeper waters and are very rare for the next few months. I expect the bite to continue to be mid-day & afternoon as the waters warm up and get the bait moving

    Had a great time fishing with Mitch. My son and I enjoyed catching our limit of trout. We hope to go again soon.

    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.
