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.

Howdy, both Fly Fishing and Conventional have been great as conditions improved between cold fronts. Redfish have been plentiful on both soft plastics and top water. Speckled trout bike has been solid with some over slot fish mixed in. Soft plastics and gulp under popping court have been the ticket.

    Trip: 3 Hour Quick Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Todd, and his First Mate Fernando, provided a trip that exceeded any expectations we could’ve had (6hr charter) for a first timers trip. Capt. Todd put us on fish all day, while Fernando expertly assisted 3 absolute beginners, helping us reel in a sailfish as the first fish of the day (catch and release). It didn’t seem like very long before we were on the red snapper and getting bites left and right, hitting our limit quick. Can’t recommend them enough and already thinking about that next trip! *Not pictured: 2 barracuda and a Spanish mackerel that were released

    Marc and Brandi were a great team. We got on the fish quick and had a limit of trout by 10. The boat is in excellent condition and had plenty of space for the three of us to fish. They had multiple rigs set up to use as the conditions changed. I would book again without hesitation.
