Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's nearshore and bay environments, preferring the mix of structure and current that characterizes these productive Texas waters. These members of the drum family are particularly active during morning hours when they move into shallower areas to feed on shrimp, small fish, and crabs. The 17-inch specimen caught on this charter represents a solid example of the quality fish available in local waters, where Spotted Weakfish commonly range from 12 to 25 inches with occasional trophy fish exceeding 30 inches.
