Highlights of Today We Fish Charter and Adventures

Our redfish charters focus on proven techniques that work in South Padre Island's unique bay system. We specialize in drift fishing and bottom bouncing with light tackle, which keeps the fight sporting while effectively targeting redfish in their preferred shallow water habitat. The early morning departure gets you on the water when fish are actively feeding, and our local knowledge means we're always fishing the most productive spots based on current conditions.

What sets our charters apart is the combination of technique variety and local expertise. We move between different spots throughout the trip, adapting our approach based on weather, tides, and fish activity. Whether conditions are calm or challenging, we're prepared to adjust our strategy to keep you on the fish.

Local Species Insights: Redfish

Redfish thrive in South Padre Island's shallow bay waters, flats, and backcountry areas where they feed on crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish. These copper-colored gamefish are perfectly adapted to the warm Texas coastal waters, preferring depths of 1-4 feet where they can easily ambush prey. During November, redfish are particularly active in the mornings as water temperatures remain comfortable and baitfish are abundant. The combination of structure, current, and food sources around South Padre Island creates ideal redfish habitat year-round.
