Fishing Report: The bay fishing has been tougher lately than past years. Catching lots of speckled trout in the 16 inch range. September 1 the regulations are supposed to go back to old regulations of 5 per person and 15 inch minimum. Early September will be a good time to come down here to South Padre and catch speckled trout on artificial plastics. Catching some redfish in deeper water on fresh cut bait. Black drum are moving up the channels and deeper water.

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!
