Captain Mikes South Padre Fishing Report 3/2/26. The bay fishing has remained decent to good through out the past couple of weeks. Catching solid redfish and speckled trout on soft plastics. Fresh cut bait and plastic lures are working good on the redfish out on the grass flats once the wind picks up. Actually been very windy and warmer weather recently and that combination has led to some outstanding redfish trips. Speckled trout are hanging deeper drop offs and working shallower as the heat of the day warms up. Everyone is catching black drum if you want to target them....

Between cold fronts the weather is great the black drum have been schooling up big time way big fun speckled trout on the intercoastal along with a few flounder and lots of sheep head live bait is a must. But topwater fishing big trout and redfish on the west side is started early

Howdy, both Fly Fishing and Conventional have been great as conditions improved between cold fronts. Redfish have been plentiful on both soft plastics and top water. Speckled trout bike has been solid with some over slot fish mixed in. Soft plastics and gulp under popping court have been the ticket.

Fishing has been on fire with this perfect water temperature and idea weather. Sight casting for experienced fishermen is great in the afternoon. Less experienced fishermen still crushing it with fresh bait

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.
