Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish
Spotted weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's brackish waters where mangrove systems meet open bay areas. These members of the drum family actively feed during tidal movements, particularly on falling water when baitfish concentrate in deeper channels. The species responds well to both live shrimp presentations and artificial lures, making them accessible to various fishing techniques. June conditions provide excellent visibility and comfortable temperatures for targeting these aggressive feeders throughout the morning hours.
