Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish
Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's nearshore and coastal river systems, making them a premier target for bay fishing enthusiasts. These members of the drum family are perfectly adapted to the brackish waters and grass flats surrounding the island. During June, they move into shallower areas to feed on shrimp and small baitfish, creating excellent opportunities for light tackle fishing. The 13-inch specimen caught on this trip represents typical size for the area, though larger fish up to 17 pounds are possible. Their distinctive spotted pattern and willingness to take live bait makes them both beautiful and exciting to catch.
