It's almost fall, we've already some cool mornings and the fall fishing feels like it's about to go into high gear.

The bite's been hot lately! Lots of solid trout hitting the decks, plenty of big kingfish keeping lines tight, and even a few nice reds showing up. When the weather gives us a window, the fishing's been on fire!

Lots of tailing pods and larger schools on the flats. Mostly focusing on small natural shrimp flies, although crab flies always work.

The bay fishing has been good throughout the past weeks. Catching speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Especially in that Margarita Green Water they love so much. Redfish have been tougher lately but still hooking some solid reds when the wind kicks up. Snook are being caught on the south end of our bay system when the tides are active. It's a good time of the year to get the kids hooked up on some nice fish and create some lasting memories.

My redfish at the jetty are back. I caught 12 in less than an hour at the shell sport owners tournament looking for a couple trips this week.

The bay fishing around South Padre has been good if you like catching redfish. The spring winds have been howling and are leading anglers out onto the flats in pursuit of the redfish or red drum. This time of year we have an influx of bait that migrates into the Lower Laguna Madre Bay System and the gamefish like redfish and speckled trout follow the bait. Mix the bait migration with the high winds and you've got the recipe for redfish on the hook. I've been catching some solid speckled trout on soft plastics along color changes. The black drum are here also, just harder to find when the winds stir everything up. This is a great time of the year to get on down here around South Padre and wet a line for redfish. The end on May has always been a prime time to speckled trout fish. Those spring winds tend to die off and the speckled trout are thick in areas
