Captain Mikes South Padre Fishing Report 3/2/26. The bay fishing has remained decent to good through out the past couple of weeks. Catching solid redfish and speckled trout on soft plastics. Fresh cut bait and plastic lures are working good on the redfish out on the grass flats once the wind picks up. Actually been very windy and warmer weather recently and that combination has led to some outstanding redfish trips. Speckled trout are hanging deeper drop offs and working shallower as the heat of the day warms up. Everyone is catching black drum if you want to target them. There are some large schools working the same old hangouts for them. I expect the bite to remain productive throughout the next month.

Between cold fronts the weather is great the black drum have been schooling up big time way big fun speckled trout on the intercoastal along with a few flounder and lots of sheep head live bait is a must. But topwater fishing big trout and redfish on the west side...

Jodie was great. Morning started out to on the coo lside and channel was rough so Jodie asked us to meet up at different location. Once we got going,Jodie was great at getting us all hooked up and fishing. If fish weren't bitting hequicly moved to a new spot, at the last spot we were hooking fish almost as fast as we could get lines in water an quickly caught our limit. He cleaned the fish and to our rental to have a great fish meal. Thanks

My husband and I are seniors and Jodie and Justin took very good care of us. The boat was clean and spacious for the 4 of us and Jodie handled the travel portion well, no bucking in wakes. We each had a guide to bait, cast, and net our catch. They also cleaned our fish and bagged for freezing. Caught our limits and had a very good morning. Jodie went above and beyond to make our experience good. We will definitely be calling Jodie again. 5 star Captain.

Corey was a great guy to fish with for the morning! He brought us to where the speckled trout were and we were able to catch our limit of keepers and with several too large/small ones having to be thrown back. My teen son loves to fish and Corey did not disappoint! Will definitely call him if we’re ever back in the area!
