Highlights of Today We Fish Charter and Adventures

Our South Padre Island fishing charters consistently produce quality catches of Spotted Weakfish, Redfish, and Spotted Trout using time-tested techniques in prime bay locations. Recent trips have yielded fish in the 17-19 inch range, with Captain Steven's local knowledge ensuring productive fishing regardless of conditions. We specialize in early morning departures when fish are most active, providing the best opportunity for memorable catches.

The versatility of our approach allows us to adapt techniques throughout the trip, from jigging structure to working live bait along grass flats. This flexibility, combined with our intimate knowledge of South Padre's seasonal patterns, gives our guests the highest probability of success on every charter.

Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's nearshore and bay environments, particularly around grass beds and structure where they ambush prey. These aggressive feeders respond well to both live bait and artificial lures, making them excellent targets for anglers using varied techniques. During summer months, they're most active during early morning hours when water temperatures are cooler, which aligns perfectly with our sunrise departure schedule.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our 5-hour morning trips accommodate up to 6 anglers aboard well-maintained bay boats equipped with modern electronics and safety equipment. We provide all rods, reels, tackle, and bait, though you're welcome to bring personal gear if preferred. Departure times are scheduled around sunrise to capitalize on prime feeding periods, with return typically by mid-morning. Bring sunscreen, snacks, and drinks for your comfort during the charter.
