South Padre Island Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in South Padre Island
I put the boat back in the water this morning and took my wife Jill and her good friend April out fishing didn't have to go very far. We were fishing live shrimp under a popping cork with an 1/8 ounce jig. We fished for a couple hours. The wind started blowing pretty hard but we caught three really nice red fish, a bunch of nice keeper trout and a big girl. She was 26 or 27 inches. we took a couple pictures of her and released her right back in to the lower Laguna Madre so somebody else can...

The bay fishing has remained decent throughout the past weeks. The weather has been great and the fish are biting. Catching solid speckled trout on soft plastics that resemble natural colors. Mullet replica type paddle tail worms have been my "go to "artificial baits. Catching reds on the higher wind days out on grass flats. Fresh cut bait and soft plastics are producing solid redfish strikes. Gold spoons on brighter days are working some days. The best thing about fishing at this time of the year is the drop in the amount of other boats and fishermen on the water....

The 24/25 South Season Duck Opener is about to kick off with good expectations in the forecast. Think this will be another good season down here on the coast. Seeing some redheads and pintails starting to migrate into bay systems. Actually saw some Rudy ducks, teal, pintails and redheads on a recent fishing charter. According to Ducks Unlimited the 2024 waterfowl population survey showed an increase in breading ducks for the first time since 2015. On October 15 -TPWD biologists reported an increase in duck numbers also. Anyways, think it's going to be a good season down here around South...

Fishing down here in South Padre Island has been steady. We've been concentrating on mangrove snappers lately. They are fantastic eating and are very plentiful. The wind has been blowing quite hard down here so I've been in the ship channel quite a bit staying out of the wind. When the wind dies down, I'm able to sneak offshore. Last Saturday we had a beautiful day. I ran 6 miles offshore and we landed about 75 red snapper, quite a few short fish, being that it is towards the end of the season, but the action bite was fantastic. Caught...
