The bay fishing has remained good throughout the past couple weeks. Catching some nice boxes of fish on artificial lures and fresh cut bait. The windier spring weather has created some good fishing conditions for redfish out on our grass flats. Actually have had a lot of productive days targeting redfish because of the warmer windier weather patterns. Gold spoons, soft plastics mimicking shrimp or mullet, and fresh cut mullet have been slamming the reds. The speckled trout bite has been a little slower but still catching some solid specks of soft plastics. Once the wind dies the speckled trout...

The speckled trout bite has been a little slower but still catching some solid specks of soft plastics. Once the wind dies the speckled trout bite will come back to life. Probably be real good towards the end of May. Some schools of drum are popping up for those who like to target them. Should be another good month of fishing. My schedule is filling up quickly...

Fishing has been great even with the wind blowing!
The bite has continued to be good, even though the wind has been blowing. Soft plastics have been producing nice trout and up shallow gold spoons have been what the reds have been wanting!

The bay fishing has been good for redfish throughout the past couple of weeks. Catching lots of reds on soft plastics up on the shallow grass flats around South Padre. It's been windy which makes conditions favorable for hooking into some good redfish. I've also been catching some very solid speckled trout. Several have been over 26 inches. All in all it's a good time to get out on the bay and stretch a line. My schedule is filling up so let's go fishing at South Padre.

★★★★★
Went out on a 5 hour bay fishing trip on a weather perfect morning. Nathan put on some nice trout & reds on north side of bridge. When we went to south side of bridge toward SpaceX we had a few bites, but spent too much time anchoring up, so we didn’t catch much. Nathan was a great , knowledgeable Captain & boat was perfect for trip
