Fishing Report: The bay fishing has been tougher lately than past years. Catching lots of speckled trout in the 16 inch range. September 1 the regulations are supposed to go back to old regulations of 5 per person and 15 inch minimum. Early September will be a good time to come down here to South Padre and catch speckled trout on artificial plastics. Catching some redfish in deeper water on fresh cut bait. Black drum are moving up the channels and deeper water.

Trout fish has continued to be great, on live and artificial baits still seeing some big trout. We are starting to see some reds a flounder are starting to be caught as well it's been a heck of a start to this season.

    My Family and I had Fantastic Fishing Experience with Captain Arturo…!!! He was absolutely amazing with his knowledge and patient with showing the proper techniques to catch an abundance of fish. So much, that other Captains came to the spot where we were fishing lol. Looking forward to the next trip with my family to South Padre and I will definitely be planning my fishing trip moving forward with Arturo 🎣

    We had such a fantastic time with Tim! We took the half-day tour, and we even wrapped it up early because we had limited out on Trout. Tim was such a great and funny guide, showing us how and where to throw the bait/lures so we could catch fish—and we did! I would definitely recommend Tim for your next fishing trip to SPI. We’re always booking with Tim when we’re back here.

    Arturo was fantastic and we had an amazing time. Already looking at when we can get with him again. Seriously had a great time and he taught me some tricks 🤩 i could go on but seriously, don’t hesitate, book with him! Communication from day one, outstanding! We were too busy enjoying his company and expertise, we only took one pic, lol! Thank you Arturo!!

    Trip: Full Or Half Day Inshore

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time fishing with Joshua. The sunrise ride out was perfect. In spite of it being a little windy, the day was all we could ask for. An opportunity to check out of this crazy world, come into direction connection with your maker and enjoy fishing, like it was meant to be. Josh got us on fish early and we experienced a healthy haul of snapper. We caught a couple strawberry grouper and a king and a half. Can't out fish the shark. If you're looking for an opportunity to check out, you can do so safely and comfortably with Joshua.

    We had a great time with Cappy! He was very patient with us, since we were beginners to deep sea fishing. He took time to explain the boat, equipment, what we were fishing for, where and why. We had a lot of fun! Saw some dolphins, a sea turtle. Most importantly though we caught a lot of fish. Not all were keepers but we kept him hoppin' between my husband and I reeling them in. Definitely an experience we recommend and will do again.
