Local Species Insights: Hardhead Sea Catfish

Hardhead Sea Catfish thrive in South Padre Island's inshore waters, particularly around structure and shallow flats where they feed on crabs, shrimp, and small fish. These hardy fighters are abundant in Texas bay systems and provide consistent action throughout the summer months. Their strong runs and determined fights make them exciting targets for light tackle fishing, especially when using live croaker as bait along the coastal areas.
