Local Species Insights: Spotted Seatrout
Spotted seatrout thrive in South Padre Island's grass flats and nearshore structure during April, when warming waters trigger increased feeding activity. These fish respond aggressively to live shrimp presentations and soft plastic lures worked over sandy bottoms and oyster reefs. The light tackle approach we use enhances their natural fighting ability, creating memorable battles even with average-sized fish. Spring conditions provide excellent visibility and comfortable temperatures that make for ideal fishing conditions. Local seatrout typically range from 14 to 20 inches, with larger specimens possible around deeper structure and channel edges.

Our 5-hour fishing trips include all necessary tackle, live bait, and safety equipment for up to six anglers. We provide light spinning gear optimized for inshore species, along with a selection of proven lures and live shrimp. Trips begin with a brief orientation covering techniques and safety procedures, followed by a run to productive fishing areas based on current conditions. Captain Steven Hillary's local knowledge ensures we target the most active spots while adjusting tactics throughout the trip.
