Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's nearshore and coastal river systems, particularly during May when warming water temperatures trigger increased feeding activity. These members of the drum family are known for their distinctive spotted patterns and excellent fighting ability. Local anglers target them using jigging techniques around structure and drift fishing in deeper channels where they school up to feed on shrimp and small baitfish. Their aggressive nature and willingness to strike various lures makes them ideal targets for both light tackle enthusiasts and families looking for consistent action.
