Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's varied habitat of onshore flats, nearshore structures, and coastal river systems. These members of the drum family are particularly active during early morning hours when they move into shallow feeding areas. The 12-inch specimen caught during our recent trip represents typical bay fishing success, as these fish commonly range from 12 to 39 inches in local waters. Their willingness to take both live bait and artificial lures makes them excellent targets for anglers using multiple techniques during a single outing.
