Port Isabel Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Port Isabel
Fishing has been great even with the wind blowing!
The bite has continued to be good, even though the wind has been blowing. Soft plastics have been producing nice trout and up shallow gold spoons have been what the reds have been wanting!

The bay fishing has been good for redfish throughout the past couple of weeks. Catching lots of reds on soft plastics up on the shallow grass flats around South Padre. It's been windy which makes conditions favorable for hooking into some good redfish. I've also been catching some very solid speckled trout. Several have been over 26 inches. All in all it's a good time to get out on the bay and stretch a line. My schedule is filling up so let's go fishing at South Padre.

After our last blast of north winds came through fishing slowed a little. But water temps are climbing back up to the low 70's and rising. Fish moved around quite a bit but we are still on them. The reds are biting on mullet and skipjack in gaswell. But you need to be very patient. Keeper Trout are hanging around the edges of the channel and very hungry. The black drum are in channel as well but they are random at best.
The spring warm up is coming, reds are going to get crazy soon. And some of the trout...

The spring warm up is coming, reds are going to get crazy soon. And some of the trout I've caught already have eggs in them for spawning season. If everything falls together right, should be an awesome spring season!

Captain Mike's South Padre Fishing Report 3/20/26. The bay fishing has remained solid. Catching some heavy speckled trout on soft plastics in deeper water. Redfish are active once the wind kicks up. Catching reds on soft plastics and fresh cut mullet out on the grass flats. The windier conditions have led to some memorable fishing trips with larger plastics. Fish are moving around a lot and a productive area may not be hot on consecutive days. Find some bait activity and the gamefish will be nearby. Black drum are schooled up if you want to target those wormy fish. All...

Loved our wildlife ride with Cliff! He knew all the good places and how to drift the boat by to not spook the birds! Great time!

What a great charter experience. Captain Tony and deck hand Albert were fantastic. They did their best on some rough water to keep us comfortable and on the fish. We got our limit of red snapper and we caught some other species along the way. They were great with my small children. They kept the piles rigged and bait on the hooks. Of all the charters that I’ve taken my family on, this one was by far their favorite. I can’t give a higher recommendation.

Went out on a 5 hour bay fishing trip on a weather perfect morning. Nathan put on some nice trout & reds on north side of bridge. When we went to south side of bridge toward SpaceX we had a few bites, but spent too much time anchoring up, so we didn’t catch much. Nathan was a great , knowledgeable Captain & boat was perfect for trip

Great trip! 6 hour trip for some red snapper. Captain put us on the fish. Limited out in less than 2 hours. Had time for our party of 4 to troll for kings which we got 2. Then tried cobia fishing. Lots of fun. Definitely booking again. Highly recommend.
