Fishing down here in South Padre Island has been steady. We've been concentrating on mangrove snappers lately. They are fantastic eating and are very plentiful. The wind has been blowing quite hard down here so I've been in the ship channel quite a bit staying out of the wind. When the wind dies down, I'm able to sneak offshore. Last Saturday we had a beautiful day. I ran 6 miles offshore and we landed about 75 red snapper, quite a few short fish, being that it is towards the end of the season, but the action bite was fantastic. Caught...

Caught one really nice cobia and had a couple others on that broke off. For duck hunting with the extreme warm temperatures all over the country the ducks have really not shown up yet. Minnesota is finally starting to freeze at night. I know Colorado has got snow everywhere so the duck should be on their way soon. Speaking of ducks for you birders, we have beautiful Roseate spoonbill gathering for picture perfect photos. The dolphin enthusiasts, we have plenty of playful dolphins on view each boat ride.

Birds are working with some nice speckled trout being caught using live shrimp or plastic, water temp holding in the uper 80's, and morning tides are extremely high so fishing on top of reefs and structures.

My wife and I took off this morning a little later than we usually head out, we went looking for mangrove snapper. a delicious eating fish that are very numerous down here in South Padre Island I didn’t take very good pictures, but we caught anywhere from 25 to 30 of them in a couple hours on live shrimp. This is a fantastic trip for kids or adults that just wanna catch lots of fish .

With the high waters that we've had for the last week Friday and a lot of baked fish from offshore. All the big predators are following the bait fish into the bay big oversize redfish, big trout you got a key on you have the key on it's easy. Over 30 years experience as a guide I make all the other guides look bad

Fishing continues to be good. Redfish are starting to show up on the flats in herds. Trout continue to be biting well. If you can get out on a day that the wind is light they fishing has been awesome.

The bay fishing throughout the past week has been a little tougher due to the heavy rains. Still catching speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Larger soft plastics in natural mullet colors have been more productive. Try to find some baitfish and the larger fish should be in close proximity. Deeper water has also been yielding some larger redfish. The shallow grass flats are active towards the north end of the bay. Seeing some black drum on the calmer days. Should get better as the fresh water works its way out of the bay.

    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.
