SOUTH PADRE ISLAND OFFERS A FISHERMAN'S PARADISE
SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas, March 26, 2010 - South Padre
Island is Texas' southernmost beach locale. This unique
geographic location lends a bit of tropical feel to South
Padre Island and its surrounding waters. For anglers, this
adds up to year-round salt water angling options for species
not generally found elsewhere in the Lone Star State.
With more than 600 different fish species inhabiting the
Island's waters, sport fishing is a favorite year-round
activity, from surfcasting to deep sea fishing. South Padre
Island has many experienced fishing guides, serving both
large and small groups. They will work to ensure the success
of your outings. Additional information on fishing and
fishing guides can be found on www.sopadre.com.
Nearly 2,000 anglers convene on the Island each August for
two popular annual events, the Texas International Fishing
Tournament in and the Ladies Kingfish Tournament. The Island
boasts restaurants from casual to upscale, all with a
diverse range of offerings, but seafood is the town's top
specialty. Wild Texas Gulf shrimp are harvested in the
region, and with the Island's abundant sport fishing, many
restaurants will cook an angler's catch to order.
South Padre Island Calendar of Fishing Opportunities
January - January sees the true beginning of the surf
fishing season. Most beachfront fishermen are looking for
pompano, whiting, sand trout, red drum, and jackcrevalle. In
the bay, good numbers of speckled trout and redfish will
still be found in shallow water during the warmer afternoon
hours. Snook and mangrove snapper can be consistently found
in the deeper waters of the Brownsville Ship Channel and
Port of Port Isabel. And, most years find good numbers of
kingfish patrolling just offshore - a rarity in winter
elsewhere along the Gulf Coast.
February - By February, the beachfront is full of pompano -
and fishermen hoping to catch them. Additionally, the
consistent catches of whiting, sand trout, red and black
drum, and jacks continue for fishermen plying the
beachfront. Catchable numbers of redfish and speckled trout
are still found in the bay. Black drum are also a popular
target for bay fishermen. Snook and mangrove snapper are
still reliable around deeper water structure. However,
February is the month when the focus of most bay fishermen
changes from school-size speckled trout to trophy trout, as
the large female specks begin to fatten up in anticipation
of their annual spawn.
March - Despite huge Spring Break crowds on land, the bay
system is relatively empty in the third month of the year.
However, shallow water fishing is just starting to heat up.
Expect to find good schools of redfish and trout
along the channel edges and on the flats during warmer days.
Flounder are also a little more common in March. Snook,
mangrove snapper, and lookdowns will still be solid in the
ship channel, but will begin making their way back into the
bay system. Sheepshead will be ganged up around the jetties
and will have plenty of suitors as anglers line the rocks to
try and land these tasty panfish.
April - Winds are still strong in South Texas during April,
but that doesn't hinder the fishing any. By April, the water
temperatures are warm enough to make fishing earlier in the
day practical - particularly for those looking to sight-cast
on the flats. Reds and specks will be spending more time in
the shallow water and there will still be plenty of big
trout cruising the flats preparing to spawn. April is one of
the better months to tangle with one of these trophy trout
in the Lower Laguna Madre. April also sees the bluewater
currents begin swinging closer to shore. Kingfish frequently
get within reach of jetty anglers during April and can be
consistently found within a few miles of the beach. The
first few tarpon of the year typically show up in April as
well.
May - May is usually the final month to find spawning
speckled trout in the Lower
Laguna Madre, so anglers are generally focused on landing a
trophy. Redfish are really active in May, which seems to be
one of those months were the water is not too warm and not
too cold and all species of fish seem to show a bit more
spunk.
Most fishermen will be focused on redfish in the shallow
flats, but they can also be found on the deeper flats and
ledges. By May, jetty fishing has become really hot. Whether
fishing the rocks by boat or by foot, odds are you can
reasonably expect to have a chance to catch snook, ladyfish,
jack crevalle, tarpon, mangrove snapper, kingfish, Spanish
mackerel, speckled trout and more. Offshore fishermen are
also starting to see a bit more variety, as fish such as
bonito, wahoo, sailfish, and ling become more common catches
and add to the regular bags of kingfish, Spanish mackerel,
red snapper and grouper found by these anglers.
June - As the temperature rises, so does the intensity of
the fishing. In June, it becomes hard to decide what to fish
for. In the bay, redfish, speckled trout, ladyfish, flounder
and snook will be common catches. Along the jetties, anglers
will be covered up with kingfish, Spanish mackerel, snook,
tarpon, grouper, mangrove snapper, jack crevalle, ladyfish
and more. And offshore, fishermen
can expect to find sailfish, kingfish, ling, wahoo, red
snapper, grouper and, occasionally, marlin and tuna.
July - By July, summer is in full swing. Crowds are more
common on the bay, but with so many options available, the
water hardly feels crowded. Speckled trout are generally
found along the channel edges and deeper flats, while
redfish will still be found cruising the shallow water
flats. July is also the first full month that sees snook
consistently found on the flats of South Bay. Offshore
action is also in full swing by July, with marlin, sailfish,
ling, kingfish, red snapper, wahoo and blackfin tuna being
the main focus.
August - August is the month for the nationally-renowned
Texas International Fishing Tournament as well as the Ladies
Kingfish Tournament. Folks looking to take one last fishing
trip before school's back in session will have plenty of
options. Speckled trout, redfish, flounder and snook will
all be plentiful in the bay. Along the beachfront, snook,
tarpon and kingfish will be common. Offshore, virtually
every Gulf species will be within range, including yellowfin
and blackfin tuna, blue marlin, sailfish and wahoo.
September -In September, redfish will be grouping up and
preparing for a mass exodus into the Brazos Santiago Pass
for their fall spawn. These huge pods of
fish are easy to spot as they hassle baitfish on the flats
and can provide fast and furious action for anglers chasing
them. Speckled trout are also preparing for a
secondary spawn in the fall. The best fishing in September
involves snook in South Bay and Mexiquite Flats and tarpon
in the Brazos Santiago Pass. Both of
these exotic, tropical species are extremely active - and
accessible - in September, as are kingfish, tuna and a host
of offshore species.
October - Pods of "tailing" redfish are the signature of
fall flats fishing in the Lower Laguna Madre. The calm winds
of October make the task of fly casting to
these fish a breeze, making October one of the most popular
months among the fly rod ranks. As the month wears on, these
fish will begin making their way to the Brazos Santiago
Pass. Spawning specks will also be prowling the flats and
plenty of smaller trout will be in the deeper water. Snook
will still be good in South Bay, but will begin making their
way back into the deeper water of the shipping lanes.
October is also an exciting time offshore, as bluewater
anglers begin tackling with tuna on a regular basis. Red
snapper, grouper, kingfish will also be regular targets of
offshore fishermen. Tarpon will still be around until the
end of the month.
November - Flats fishing is still hot in November and the
cooler air temperatures make for comfortable fishing
throughout the day. Speckled trout and redfish will be found
on the shallow flats. Snook will begin settling in along the
Brownsville Ship Channel. Mangrove snapper will be thick
around the jetties. The big draw for surf and jetty anglers
in November, however, will be the big "bull" reds which have
moved in for their annual spawn. Good numbers of bull reds
can be taken from the Brazos Santiago Pass, along the South
Padre Beachfront, and at the Port Mansfield Cut at the
northern end of the island.
December - The final month of the year still holds promise
for fishermen along South Padre Island. December usually
ushers in the start of pompano and whiting fishing along the
beachfront. Redfish and speckled trout are still
consistently caught throughout the bay. December is one of
the best times to seek snook in the Brownsville Ship
Channel. Although the water temperatures have cooled off,
these warm-water fish can be consistently found around the
docks, pilings and channels off the ship channel and in the
Port of Port Isabel and Brownsville shrimp basin.
