Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's nearshore and coastal river systems, making them a premier target for bay fishing charters. These members of the drum family prefer shallow grass flats, oyster bars, and channel edges where they ambush baitfish during early morning and evening feeding periods. The 25-inch specimen caught demonstrates the quality fish available in these productive Texas waters, with spotted weakfish commonly reaching impressive sizes when conditions align properly.
