With the passing of what hopefully will be the last big cold front of the year, fishing has warmed back up along with the weather. Yesterday was speckled trout on spinning tackle with a nice family from Minnesota. Today was fly fishing on my Maverick's gift for redfish and trophy trout. We have a SpaceX launch scheduled for Friday, which should be outstanding as the weather looks good through the middle of next week at least. Time for a geographical cure; come see me in South Padre Island!

The bay fishing is starting to get interesting. Lots of sheepshead moving along the rocks at the jetties. Just need calmer weather to go get after them. Some bull reds are showing up there also. As the water temperature warms up after the cold weather we had last week expect the bite to only heat up as well. Speckled trout and redfish will move out deeper water in search of warmer temperatures and begin feeding on prey as it moves out shallower. Schools of black drum will also be easy targets once warmer water temperatures rise.

A steady school of sheepshead and redfish have been biting out by the jetties. We are catching limits of beautiful size sheepshead and chasing schools of big ole' bull redfish. I'm finding schools of fish using Garmin live scope. Live shrimp dropped into their face and you've got a bite!...

They finally showed up an SPID give me a call if you wanna go catching not fishing.

The past week has been a decent one. Catching both speckled trout and redfish on soft plastics. Actually limited on speckled trout on every am trip last week on soft plastics. Larger swim baits have been my go too. Darker and natural mullet colors are both producing strikes. The tides are extremely low in the morning and fluxing in hard towards the afternoon. Catching redfish on the windier days especially in the afternoon as the tides push in. Schools of black drum are popping up in deeper water transitions. Expect the bite to remain solid as long as weather remains stable.

Winter time fishing has been solid throughout the south Padre Island area. Snook and large trout remain plentiful in the Brownsville ship channel. Many of my trips have been with less experienced anglers and we have been focusing on speckled trout in deeper water with great success. The wonderful thing about being this far south is that "winter "means the temperature dropped into the 60s with highs near 80s during the day. Of course we get a cold front or two that slows fishing For a day as the front passes but the weather warms right back up quickly. Red fishing has been consistent with top water action along with soft plastics being the ticket. Find the bait and the fish are there with them. Fly fishing trips have been outstanding during the extreme low tides that we have. Fish become concentrated and wafing for tailing red fish has been the name of the game. Fishing will remain consistent and only get better as spring progresses.

Redfish and sheep head are biting in South Padre Island; Do you wanna get in on this bite? Book a trip and let's go fishing. We're catching multiple oversize reds anywhere from 28 inches to 40.

    Trip: 1/2 Day Fishing Adventure

    My family of 6 (3 teens,3 adults) booked a 6 hour deep sea fishing trip with Todd and Fernando. They were very knowledgeable and so helpful considering we had zero experience with deep sea fishing and half of us were a little sea sick. My husband and I had an amazing time. Todd knew just where you take us to get the fish and if it was a miss he'd move us along to the next spot . Fernando was so hard working and helpful with myself and the kids. I never once had to bait a hook or remove a fish. He was patient with my family and thoroughly explained how to manovour the reel and exactly what to do. There was a bathroom and air conditioned room if needed. I'd definitely book again.
