Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish
Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's bay system, particularly during summer months when water temperatures and bait concentrations create ideal feeding conditions. These members of the drum family respond well to various techniques including live bait presentations and artificial lures worked near structure and drop-offs. Local anglers target them in nearshore and coastal river environments where they feed actively on shrimp, small fish, and crabs throughout the warmer months.
