Laguna Vista Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Laguna Vista
The bay fishing around South Padre has been good if you like catching redfish. The spring winds have been howling and are leading anglers out onto the flats in pursuit of the redfish or red drum. This time of year we have an influx of bait that migrates into the Lower Laguna Madre Bay System and the gamefish like redfish and speckled trout follow the bait. Mix the bait migration with the high winds and you've got the recipe for redfish on the hook. I've been catching some solid speckled trout on soft plastics along color changes. The black drum...

March has roared in like a lion with spring winds followed by a spectacular calm day or two for sight casting with a fly rod or spinning tackle. Windy days have been good on wind blown shorelines for Redfish on jigs and topwaters with the occasional trophy class Speckled Trout. The color change bite remains strong for school-sized Specks. Find the bait and you find the trout. The calm days have been spent on the skiff with shrimp pattern flies or fluke style baits presented for the taking. Redfish aplenty along with some tremendous trout showing us their back sides!...

The bay fishing has remained decent throughout the past week. Sheepshead are still thick at the jetties if the weather permits. Catching speckled trout all over the bay on soft plastics and live shrimp under corks. Try to find some deeper water near a transition into a shallower drop off. Fish are moving up and down these water depth changes. Redfishing has been better in the afternoon. Once the wind picks up the bite heats up as well. Expect it to be a busy spring break for fishing.

I've been doing the same thing every day, catching her fit on the jetty; we're just crushing them.

With the passing of what hopefully will be the last big cold front of the year, fishing has warmed back up along with the weather. Yesterday was speckled trout on spinning tackle with a nice family from Minnesota. Today was fly fishing on my Maverick's gift for redfish and trophy trout. We have a SpaceX launch scheduled for Friday, which should be outstanding as the weather looks good through the middle of next week at least. Time for a geographical cure; come see me in South Padre Island!

The bay fishing is starting to get interesting. Lots of sheepshead moving along the rocks at the jetties. Just need calmer weather to go get after them. Some bull reds are showing up there also. As the water temperature warms up after the cold weather we had last week expect the bite to only heat up as well. Speckled trout and redfish will move out deeper water in search of warmer temperatures and begin feeding on prey as it moves out shallower. Schools of black drum will also be easy targets once warmer water temperatures rise.

Fishing has been good catching reds on both lures and bait. Trouts haven good in deeper water on live shrimp
