Spotted Weakfish

We had a fantastic time out on the water today with Kerry and their crew, chasing Spotted Weakfish on the South Padre Island bay. It was a beautiful June day, with partly cloudy skies and great water conditions. The 5 Hour Bay Fishing South Padre Island charter was the perfect way to soak up some sun and get in on the inshore action.

Right from the start, the fish were feeding aggressively. We started by trolling, and it wasn't long before the rods were bending. The Spotted Weakfish were hitting our lures hard, putting up some great fights. We had a blast working the shallows, finding the right spots and presentation to get these feisty fish to commit. The bite stayed consistent all afternoon, and we managed to land several nice Spotted Weakfish.

The beautiful South Texas scenery and calm bay waters made the perfect backdrop for an awesome day on the water. Between the steady fishing and good company, the time just flew by. These are the kinds of trips that remind you why you love being a fishing guide – the chance to share your passion for the sport and the amazing environment we get to experience.
