Clear water. Black bass are moving up and down as the weather permits. Secondary points are producing where emergent grass is present. Try streamers in red and white fished 1 to 6 feet deep. Female Black Bass are in pre-spawn in 10’ water, slow retrieved streamers might draw a strike. Crappie are being caught in 1 ft of water in the backs of creeks; try a small, clear clouser.

Black bass are beginning pre-spawn, small males will be active in the backs of coves and creeks near emergent grasses and shallow brush. Larger females will be suspended near secondary points and boat docks, preparing to move shallow. Try using a suspending pattern and fishing slowly and deliberately. Crappie should be moving shallow as the weather stabilizes and warms. A small, clear/white/silver bead in a size 6 to 8 should work well.
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.

We are still catching good numbers of sheepshead & puppy drum on live shrimp & large black drum on cracked crab at Galveston Jetties. We are starting to see a few speckled trout and slot redfish. Best bite has been in the mornings on tidal changes.

Fishing has been fair to good on days in between fronts. Water is warming up, so fishing will only get better. Live shrimp are working in 4 to 5ft of water

My Family and I had Fantastic Fishing Experience with Captain Arturo…!!! He was absolutely amazing with his knowledge and patient with showing the proper techniques to catch an abundance of fish. So much, that other Captains came to the spot where we were fishing lol. Looking forward to the next trip with my family to South Padre and I will definitely be planning my fishing trip moving forward with Arturo 🎣

We had an outstanding trip with Captain Anthony. The weather forecast ended up being way off, and we were dealing with 3–4 foot swells, but that didn’t stop him from putting us on the trout. His experience and determination really showed, and he worked hard to make sure we had a successful day on the water.
I took my three boys, and every one of us had an incredible time. The boat was clean, comfortable, and handled the rough conditions with ease. Captain Anthony was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a captain who knows how to find fish even when the conditions aren’t ideal, I highly recommend booking with Captain Anthony. We’ll definitely be back!
It may not have been our day to pull sharks out of the water but Tristan and his team made for a fantastic experience.. I asked lots of questions about the strategies they used to fish and learned so much. My family enjoyed their time and we will be looking forward to a future guided fish trip. Thanks again guys. Be safe out there
We had such a fantastic time with Tim! We took the half-day tour, and we even wrapped it up early because we had limited out on Trout. Tim was such a great and funny guide, showing us how and where to throw the bait/lures so we could catch fish—and we did! I would definitely recommend Tim for your next fishing trip to SPI. We’re always booking with Tim when we’re back here.
