The bay fishing has been good throughout the past weeks. Catching speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Especially in that Margarita Green Water they love so much. Redfish have been tougher lately but still hooking some solid reds when the wind kicks up. Snook are being caught on the south end of our bay system when the tides are active. It's a good time of the year to get the kids hooked up on some nice fish and create some lasting memories.

Water level is at full pool and surface temps averaging 82 to 84 degrees. The bass are biting pretty good and I really like June herr. We been fishing offshore in 14' to 20' on main lake and secondary points mostly. But fish can be caught in different depths right now. With the surface temps in the lower 80s theirs still a shallow bite also. Drop shot and c- rig has been our best bite. Lot of good grass and the top water can be good on Cloudy days. Thus month will get better for a big fish also offshore.

The trout bite has been really good, despite the high wind. Catching them drifting and wading. All on lures; Down South Lures in Chartreuse Flash and Skitterwalk top waters in pink/chrome.

The bay fishing around South Padre has been good if you like catching redfish. The spring winds have been howling and are leading anglers out onto the flats in pursuit of the redfish or red drum. This time of year we have an influx of bait that migrates into the Lower Laguna Madre Bay System and the gamefish like redfish and speckled trout follow the bait. Mix the bait migration with the high winds and you've got the recipe for redfish on the hook. I've been catching some solid speckled trout on soft plastics along color changes. The black drum are here also, just harder to find when the winds stir everything up. This is a great time of the year to get on down here around South Padre and wet a line for redfish. The end on May has always been a prime time to speckled trout fish. Those spring winds tend to die off and the speckled trout are thick in areas

Water level is at full pool and surface temps are 68 to 71 degrees. The bass are trying to finish spawning now but there are still some on beds. We have been fishing shallow. 2' to 5' has been the best bite. Weightless lightly weighted flukes and Senkos has been best. Shad spawn starting now also. Early morning bite on shallow main lake and secondary hard bottom points. Shallow Shad color cranks baits and swim baits are the ticket on these bass. I have good dates open coming up if you would like a guide. We have caught a few big ones lately.
