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.

★★★★★
My Dad and I had a great day of fishing. Although there was rain around Captain Romey was able to put us on some fish while avoiding the rain. We were fortunate enough to land a 40 inch Red on light tackle which was the CHERRY on top of this day.

Jerry was on time and ready to go. He asked what we wanted to accomplish on the trip, was friendly, funny, and very professional. We caught a limit in two and half hours with the largest red fish 29 1/2 inches. This guy knows what he is doing and does it well.

Our day with Cliff was great. Our group was two dads with 2 seven year olds. The kids had the best time. They each caught a few fish and he was incredibly patient and kind with them as they learned. We will be back.
