Local Species Insights: Spotted Weakfish

Spotted Weakfish thrive in South Padre Island's bay system, preferring grass flats and nearshore structure where they ambush prey. These members of the drum family are most active during early morning hours when water temperatures are cooler and baitfish are abundant. Summer months provide excellent fishing opportunities as Spotted Weakfish move into shallow waters to feed on croakers, shrimp, and small crabs. Their distinctive spotted pattern and silver sides make them easily identifiable, while their fighting ability provides exciting action for anglers of all skill levels.
