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.

    Marc and Brandi were a great team. We got on the fish quick and had a limit of trout by 10. The boat is in excellent condition and had plenty of space for the three of us to fish. They had multiple rigs set up to use as the conditions changed. I would book again without hesitation.

    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.
