Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's bay systems, particularly during the summer months when water temperatures and bait concentrations create ideal feeding conditions. These fish prefer nearshore and coastal areas with good current flow, often relating to structure like oyster reefs and grass beds. Their feeding behavior peaks during early morning hours, making our dawn departures perfectly timed for success. The 22-inch fish we landed recently demonstrates the quality size these waters can produce, with fish of this caliber providing excellent sport on light tackle while offering outstanding table fare for those who choose to keep their catch.
