Captain Mike: South Padre Fishing Report. The bay fishing has remained decent throughout the past couple weeks. Catching speckled trout on live and soft plastic artificial baits. Redfishing has been a little more hit or mis...Somedays have been better than others depending on wind and tidal fluctuations. After the tropical depression we have had an influx of fresh water and tidal push in water levels. All in all the fishing has remained decent and clients are happy with catches. My schedule is filling up so try and pick dates at least two weeks in advance.

Fishing has been good! We've been picking up trout, reds, and black drum using shrimp pretty consistently, fish have been skinny!

Captain Mike: South Padre Fishing Report. The bay fishing is on right now and should only get better throughout the next month. The shrimp and baitfish are migrating into our bay system and the fish are actively hunting them. The speckled trout and redfish are on the move looking for easy meals. This is in my opinion one of the best times of the year to target speckled trout with artificial baits and live baits. Typically the high spring winds will start to die off towards the end of May and early June. This weather combined with the influx of the spring bait migration leads to some good fishing. It's a great time to introduce the kids to some fishing action. Schools of black drum should also magically show up soon. My schedule is filling up for summer so you may want to pick some dates.

Cool weather means more bites at South Padre Island Texas....... Follow the tides for the best chance on catching your targeted fish. Live bait works best. Live finger mullet produces bigger predatory fish.

Fishing Report: Captain Michael. 12/1/23. The bay fishing has been producing some nice solid fish. Redfish are moving out along grass flats and are hitting fresh cut bait and lures. If lure fishing throw lures that resemble the same colors that match the real bait. Match the hatch color schemes. Fish will start off in deeper water and move into shallower adjacent water as temperatures rise. Speckled trout are hanging along deeper water drop offs. Larger soft plastic in the winter are a good choice. Sheepshead fishing should turn on sometime soon. This is also a good time to try and target some snook.

    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.
