Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's onshore and nearshore waters, particularly around coastal river mouths and bay systems 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 on light tackle. During July, Spotted Weakfish are actively feeding in the bay waters, making them prime targets for live croaker presentations and jigging techniques. The 12 to 39-inch size range provides exciting action for anglers, with fish weighing 3 to 17 pounds offering substantial fights in the shallow bay environment.
