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...

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...

Redfish has been great with the falling tides due and low water levels to the dry fronts we have been receiving. Also lots of tidal movement with this full moon. Black drum are on the flats and near points that have shell.

Memories were made that will never be forgotten.....We took our 15 year old grandson on our fishing trip with Pat. The trip was memorable for multiple reasons. Pat was very professional, cheerful and very accommodating. He took us to where the redfish were biting and our grandson landed his first really big Redfish - one of many we caught during our time with Pat. It was thrilling for all of us as we all managed to land very Large Redfish with Pat's help. We also landed some nice trout during our outing. Would definitely recommend Pat as a guide we had a great time
Had a great time with with Captain Steven, he pulled out every trick and spot he had. It was a tough day for everyone but we had a good time anyways! I'll schedule another trip again in the fall.
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
