Fishing has been pretty good when wind isn't cranking, just getting back into it, but it's looking like it's gonna be a good season

Spring has sprung! Topwater, soft plastics and fly trips have all been solid between huge wind events.

After our last blast of north winds came through fishing slowed a little. But water temps are climbing back up to the low 70's and rising. Fish moved around quite a bit but we are still on them. The reds are biting on mullet and skipjack in gaswell. But you need to be very patient. Keeper Trout are hanging around the edges of the channel and very hungry. The black drum are in channel as well but they are random at best.

The spring warm up is coming, reds are going to get crazy soon. And some of the trout I've caught already have eggs in them for spawning season. If everything falls together right, should be an awesome spring season!

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 in all it's been good fishing and the weather is great.

    Great duck hunt, plenty of ducks . Enjoyed the hunt with Mike put me on the ducks. Unfortunately was busy enjoying the hunt with Mike and didn't take any pictures. I will be back for another duck hunt.

    Trip: SPI Bay Duck Hunting Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Mike knew the bay very well and did his best to put us on fish. I only had two issues with the trip. It might just be his personality, but I found him to be condescending when I asked questions. I also think he fishes too much. It was like we paid to take him fishing.
