Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's nearshore and coastal waters, particularly around grass flats, jetties, and pier structures where they ambush baitfish. These aggressive feeders respond well to live shrimp, soft plastics, and topwater lures during early morning hours when water temperatures are optimal. Summer months provide excellent opportunities as schools move through the area following bait concentrations. The 29-inch specimen caught demonstrates the trophy potential available in these productive Texas waters.
