Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's diverse coastal environment, moving between bay waters, nearshore reefs, and deeper offshore structure depending on season and feeding patterns. These members of the drum family respond well to both live bait and artificial lures, making them excellent targets for anglers using varied techniques. July conditions bring active feeding as these fish take advantage of abundant baitfish populations around piers, jetties, and natural structure. The 15-inch specimen we landed demonstrates the quality fishing available when local knowledge meets proper technique and timing.
