It is summertime on South Padre Island and the fishing is easy! Lots of families and kids on the last several trips. The speckled trout bite has been solid and the results of Texas Parks and wildlife dropping the trout limit is showing itself in full force with an average of at least one trout over 25 inches almost every day and sometimes several per day.
Fly Fishing trips have had plenty of shots at redfish in pods, loose schools and singles. Mixed with that are legitimate shots at snook and over slot speckled trout. As soon as the wind...

settles down, nearshore Tarpon Fishing will be in full swing. The fish are here but we have not been able to get to them with the wind howling like it has been. I have had several groups taking advantage of my twilight specials which leave the house at 5:30 in Fish until dark at a decreased price. Catching has been good and the sunsets have been outstanding.

    We had an incredible day fishing the Laguna Madre with Captain Rey out of South Padre Island. From the moment we stepped on the boat, everything was professional and well-organized. He clearly knows these waters inside and out.

    Had a great time on Captain Arnold's boat! He put us right on the fish, had some great advice for catching sea trout and we caught our limit! He also recommended local places that would cook our catch! Good playlist and a fast boat too. Definitely will be reaching out to Arnold next time we are in town.

    Trip: South Padre Island Bay Fishing

    We had the BEST time fishing with Marc and Brandy! From start to finish, they made the entire experience so much fun for our family. We caught tons of fish, saw dolphins and turtles, and made memories we’ll never forget! Marc and Brandy are incredibly knowledgeable and true experts when it comes to fishing, but what made the day even better was how wonderful they were to be around. They made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and like we were fishing with friends. We will absolutely be back to fish with them again! We came for a fishing trip and left with some amazing memories and new friends in Texas! Highly recommend Marc and Brandy to anyone looking for an unforgettable day on the water!

    We had a fantastic half-day fishing trip with Captain Tim on South Padre Island! He was incredibly helpful and patient with our 9- and 7-year-old, keeping everything fun and stress-free for the whole family. We caught several nice fish and made wonderful memories. Highly recommend Captain Tim for families and beginners! 5/5 Stars — we’ll definitely be back!
