The variety of techniques used ensures everyone stays engaged while learning effective methods for targeting these popular gamefish species.

Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's nearshore and bay environments, where they feed aggressively on shrimp, small crabs, and baitfish throughout the warmer months. These members of the drum family are known for their distinctive spotted pattern and excellent fighting ability when hooked on light tackle. June conditions provide ideal water temperatures for active feeding, making this an excellent time to target these popular gamefish using both live bait and artificial lures in the productive bay systems.
