Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's onshore and nearshore waters, particularly around grass flats and coastal river mouths 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. July brings optimal conditions as water temperatures warm and baitfish concentrate in the shallows, making Spotted Weakfish more accessible to anglers using live croaker and artificial lures. The species typically ranges from 12 to 39 inches, with fish in the 16-inch range providing exciting action for charter guests of all experience levels.
