Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's bay systems, preferring the shallow grass flats and sandy bottoms where they ambush prey. These fish are most active during moving tides and low-light conditions, making early morning trips particularly productive. They respond well to both live bait and artificial lures, with soft plastics and topwater plugs being especially effective. The species feeds heavily on shrimp, small crabs, and baitfish, making them relatively predictable targets for experienced guides who understand their feeding patterns and seasonal movements.
