Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's inshore waters, particularly around sand bars and nearshore structure where they feed on shrimp, crabs, and small baitfish. These members of the drum family are known for their distinctive spotted pattern and excellent fighting ability when hooked on light tackle. During summer months, they move into shallower bay areas to feed, making them prime targets for live croaker presentations. Their preference for structure and current breaks makes South Padre Island's diverse inshore habitat ideal for consistent fishing action.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our bay fishing charters accommodate up to six anglers and include all necessary equipment, from rods and reels to live bait and tackle. Trips depart early morning to take advantage of prime feeding times, with Captain Steven providing instruction on techniques and local fishing knowledge. The boat is equipped with safety gear, fish cleaning facilities, and comfortable seating for a full day on the water.
