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

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...

    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.
