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. Black drum are schooled up and cruising the deeper water transitions looking for food. Redfish are starting to cruise the edges of the channels and adjacent grass flats once the water temperatures rise throughout the day. Speckled trout are hanging in the deepest waters along the bottom where grass and sandy bottom mix. Look for the margarita colored water or murkier mix. Great time to get out and stretch a line into a solid fish here at South Padre.

Duck Report from Blast to Cast. Ducks are passing through with every northern that blows new birds down here around South Padre. Have had a couple of outstanding hunts on the edges of these last couple of fronts. Good numbers of redheads and some decent pintails taken throughout the last couple of weeks. Got one week of season left for this year.
