Trip Summary

We started the afternoon with a mix of jigging, light tackle, and drift fishing techniques, hoping to find where the fish were biting. It didn't take long before we started hooking into some nice Spotted Sea Trout. The fish put up a great fight, darting and stripping line, but the crew kept their cool and landed some beautiful specimens. The bite stayed consistent, and we had a blast working different spots and presentations to find the fish. By the end of the trip, we had a solid haul of Spotted Sea Trout to take home. But more than just the fish, it was the camaraderie and shared experience that made this such a memorable outing. Spending a few hours on the water, passing around tips and stories, and celebrating each catch together is what makes these trips so special. No matter if you're an experienced angler or picking up a rod for the first time, there's nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that line go tight. If you're looking to enjoy some of the best bay fishing South Padre Island, TX has to offer, I can't recommend our 5-Hour (PM) Bay Fishing Trip enough. Whether you're after Spotted Sea Trout, or just want to experience the excitement of light tackle fishing, our team at Today We Fish Charter and Adventures will make sure you have an amazing time out on the water. The bay is full of incredible fishing opportunities, and we know all the sweet spots to put you on the bite. So don't wait, book your trip today and let's go catch some fish!

South Padre Morning Bay Trip: Speckled T
November 2, 2025
Megan and family headed out for our fall morning trip with partly cloudy skies and the possibility of storms rolling in later. The early morning conditions looked promising as we launched from South Padre Island for our half-day bay fishing adventure with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We focused on drift fishing and bottom fishing techniques, with some trolling mixed in to cover more water. They managed to land a solid speckled trout and a 25” drum during our session. South Padre Island's bay system works well for these techniques because of the varied structure and current patterns that hold fish consistently. We wrapped up the morning run with good action and plenty of time before any weather moved in.
