Fishing has been on fire with this perfect water temperature and idea weather. Sight casting for experienced fishermen is great in the afternoon. Less experienced fishermen still crushing it with fresh bait

Captain Mikes South Padre Fishing Report 2/7/26. The bay fishing has been good lately. Last week was action packed. Caught some snook on soft plastics in deeper water. Black drum are schooled up and cruising the deeper water transitions looking for food. Redfish are starting to cruise the edges of the channels and adjacent grass flats once the water temperatures rise throughout the day. Speckled trout are hanging in the deepest waters along the bottom where grass and sandy bottom mix. Look for the margarita colored water or murkier mix. Great time to get out and stretch a line into...

Pre-and post cold front fishing has been outstanding with both numbers of keeper sized speckled trout. Red fishing remains consistent both on the fly and with Conventional tackle on artificial lures.

The bay fishing has remained good through out the past couple of weeks. Catching solid redfish out on the flats around South Padre. Fresh cut mullet or ballyhoo rigged up and off the bottom is working great. Catching both reds and speckled trout on soft plastics that resemble mullet-type lures. Try working plastics slower than normal across sand potholes. Trout are hanging in deeper water transitions. Good time to go hook into some good fish here at South Padre.

    Had a great time with Captain Arturo! Since most of us were new to saltwater fishing, he did a great job of explaining and teaching us. Captain Arturo was also a fun guy to be on the boat with.
