Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's bay waters, preferring areas with good current flow and structure. These fish are most active during cooler parts of the day and respond well to both live bait and artificial lures. In May, they're often found feeding in shallow flats and around channel edges where baitfish concentrate. Their distinctive spotted pattern and strong initial runs make them a favorite target for light tackle enthusiasts visiting Texas Gulf waters.
