Fishing has been great with this colder front moving In. There's lots of bull reds offshore along the wrecks with the red snappers.

Cold weather is bringing in larger schools of fish near shore. Sea trout are in abundance. This time of year you will find black drum gathering in holes as the tide goes out. 64 fish were caught this pass Sunday- 2 adults and 1 child

Great duck hunt, plenty of ducks . Enjoyed the hunt with Mike put me on the ducks. Unfortunately was busy enjoying the hunt with Mike and didn't take any pictures. I will be back for another duck hunt.

Me and my family went out with captain Zach and had an awesome day. Weather wasn’t in our favour but made the best of it and landed some fish! Captain Zach was very helpful, runs good fishing gear and has a beautiful boat. Will be booking our next trip with him when we’re back in south Padre for a family vacation!

Ruben was amazing! He knew the areas to go to catch fish, but we got so much more. We saw dolphins swimming, learned more about the area, and caught so many fish! His recommendations for where to take our fish for dinner was also great! We will book another trip with him!

We had an amazing time fishing with Captain Cliff in South Padre Island! He was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the trip, ensuring we were comfortable and had a great experience. The boat was spacious and well-maintained, giving us plenty of room to enjoy our time on the water. Captain Cliff was friendly, timely, and took us to some fantastic fishing spots. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing adventure!
