Howdy, both Fly Fishing and Conventional have been great as conditions improved between cold fronts. Redfish have been plentiful on both soft plastics and top water. Speckled trout bike has been solid with some over slot fish mixed in. Soft plastics and gulp under popping court have been the ticket.

Fishing has been on fire with this perfect water temperature and idea weather. Sight casting for experienced fishermen is great in the afternoon. Less experienced fishermen still crushing it with fresh bait

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...

Pre-and post cold front fishing has been outstanding with both numbers of keeper sized speckled trout. Red fishing remains consistent both on the fly and with Conventional tackle on artificial lures.

    We had such an awesome trip with Mike! My boyfriend (who is a lot more advanced) had the best birthday and Mike was kind enough to help me with live bait to make sure I caught a few!

    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.

    What an outstanding time that we had with Captain Mike. This was our very first time boat fishing and we had done so at the request of my son for his 17th birthday. Captain Mike was incredibly accommodating, very easy to communicate with and more importantly knowledgeable when it comes to fishing. He was incredibly patient, taught each person in our group of four how to properly cast and really made sure that we had a good time (and also made sure we caught our limit, I have no doubt he would have stayed out there all day to make it happen.) I'm new at this but I am sure this is the type of experience you hope for with this sort of activity. Book this gut y'all. I PROMISE you that you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Captain Mike for a memorable experience!!!!!
