With partly cloudy skies and the possibility of strong storms, we set out at 6:30 am for our 5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures.

Catch Speckled Trout and Redfish Galore on South Padre Island's Flats

Non-stop bites all day long! Lots of good spots to catch trout, redfish, and flounder along the shoreline and jetties, but the best time is in the spring when the weather is warm. I took Tim and their crew out for a (PM) Fishing Trip 5 Hours with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures, our premier fishing charter service in South Padre Island TX. Once the stage was set, we started the day surf casting, live bait fishing, and popping cork fishing. The spotted weakfish were really active, and we managed to land several in the 15-inch range.
