Fishing has been pretty good given the amount of rain that we have had in the past week. With the storms wind has been pretty calm and some schools of reds and black drum have been popping up. Trout have still been pretty productive along with flounder in the Intracoastal water way.

State red snapper are hot. The next few days the ocean will be perfect. Low winds and no swells. Perfect for people that can't go out because they get sea sick. It's going to be flat all the way till monday. Out side the jetties will be producing by bull reds and sharks.... offshore trolling for big king fish and rock fishing will be good.

Fishing has been good, lure under a cork seem to be doing the trick right now as well as shrimp under the cork. We've been seeing more numbers of redfish and it's been great!

Fishing for flounder has been good in some spots with live shrimp and jigging a curly tail soft plastic around pilings near the channel drop offs. Reds and Trout are good drifting the sandy water on windy days using a popping cork with live shrimp. On days with calm winds reds can be caught in green water with top waters and soft plastics.

Well the trout fishing has been on fire with limits in the mornings being caught fairly early. Red fish has been a little spotty but the black drum have been good in the afternoons in South Bay. We've also been hitting flounder on the sand bars on shrimp and some artificial. Fishing is going to get better and better as we transition into the fall months from September through November.

    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.
