Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's bay systems and nearshore waters, where they feed aggressively on small baitfish and crustaceans. These members of the drum family are known for their distinctive spotted patterns and their willingness to strike a variety of lures and baits. During June, the fish are particularly active in the early morning hours, making them ideal targets for light tackle fishing. Their habitat preferences include grass flats, channel edges, and areas with good tidal flow, where they ambush prey in schools. The species responds well to jigging presentations and drift fishing techniques, providing consistent action for charter guests.
