My redfish at the jetty are back. I caught 12 in less than an hour at the shell sport owners tournament looking for a couple trips this week.

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 are here also, just harder to find when the winds stir everything up. This is a great time of the year to get on down here around South Padre and wet a line for redfish. The end on May has always been a prime time to speckled trout fish. Those spring winds tend to die off and the speckled trout are thick in areas

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! Sheephead remain strong off the jetties for the bait crowd. Did I mention some giant Black Drum? Been keeping a fish strip handy to pitch in front of cruising "big uglies" along the way.

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.

THE FISH WEREN’T OUT FOR BREAKFAST. Walter tried and tried to get us on fish, just wasn’t working. Any other fishing boats we saw , it was the same, nobody caught anything but sun. Walter did his job.

Excellent guide; great trip. Perfect pace and timing. Caught our limit of trout—and a red and some sort of cat.

Gary made our day! We caught 9 trout and our autistic daughter was treated with patience and kindness. We picked Gary because he indicated having disabilities was “no problem” and he meant it! We saw dolphins, sea turtles, bird island, a mangrove warbler, and the fish were practically jumping on the boat. Captain Gary knows his stuff and was a great tour guide of the Gulf. You won’t be disappointed!

Great experience. Easy to book. Capt Aaron is an avid angler and very passionate. He’s super friendly and so experienced. He was laser focused the entire time assisting both my wife and I plus always scanning the bay simultaneously. It was fun being guided by someone so passionate about fishing and his guests. He’s not going to talk about anything the fishing experience at hand. He’s an excellent navigator and the ride to and from spots was smooth. Loved everything about the experience.

Had a good trip. Water was a little rough, but what can you do. Caught plenty of fish with three keeper snappers. Trolled back to the marina and hit two Jack Crevale’s. What a fight they put up. Next time I am thinking of trolling the entire trip! Emilio & Logan were great.

We really enjoyed our fishing charter with Arturo. The winds were hard but made for good fishing and he knew right where to go. I would recommend him for any fishing adventure.
