The 24/25 South Season Duck Opener is about to kick off with good expectations in the forecast. Think this will be another good season down here on the coast. Seeing some redheads and pintails starting to migrate into bay systems. Actually saw some Rudy ducks, teal, pintails and redheads on a recent fishing charter. According to Ducks Unlimited the 2024 waterfowl population survey showed an increase in breading ducks for the first time since 2015. On October 15 -TPWD biologists reported an increase in duck numbers also. Anyways, think it's going to be a good season down here around South...

Fishing down here in South Padre Island has been steady. We've been concentrating on mangrove snappers lately. They are fantastic eating and are very plentiful. The wind has been blowing quite hard down here so I've been in the ship channel quite a bit staying out of the wind. When the wind dies down, I'm able to sneak offshore. Last Saturday we had a beautiful day. I ran 6 miles offshore and we landed about 75 red snapper, quite a few short fish, being that it is towards the end of the season, but the action bite was fantastic. Caught...

The bay fishing throughout the past week has been a little tougher due to the heavy rains. Still catching speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Larger soft plastics in natural mullet colors have been more productive. Try to find some baitfish and the larger fish should be in close proximity. Deeper water has also been yielding some larger redfish. The shallow grass flats are active towards the north end of the bay. Seeing some black drum on the calmer days. Should get better as the fresh water works its way out of the bay.
