Reported 9 months ago
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.

The bay fishing has been good throughout the past weeks. Catching speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Especially in that Margarita Green Water they love so much. Redfish have been tougher lately but still hooking some solid reds when the wind kicks up. Snook are being caught on the south end of our bay system when the tides are active. It's a good time of the year to get the kids hooked up on some nice fish and create some lasting memories.

★★★★★
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
