Highlights of Today We Fish Charter and Adventures
Our bay fishing charters focus on the abundant redfish and spotted trout populations that thrive in South Padre Island's shallow waters. The afternoon timing takes advantage of optimal feeding periods when fish are most active around structure and grass flats. Light tackle fishing provides exciting action as these strong fish put up impressive fights on thinner line, making every catch memorable for anglers of all skill levels.
The calm bay conditions and excellent water clarity create ideal fishing environments, while our experienced captain reads the water to locate the most productive spots. From drift fishing over deeper structure to working the shallow flats, we adapt our techniques based on current conditions and fish behavior patterns.
Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish are the premier inshore gamefish in South Padre Island waters, known for their powerful runs and stubborn fighting ability. These copper-colored fish inhabit the shallow flats, grass beds, and structure throughout the bay system, feeding aggressively on crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish. May brings excellent redfish action as warming water temperatures increase their metabolism and feeding activity, making them more responsive to both live bait and artificial lures presented near bottom structure.
