FISHING SOUTH PADRE ISLAND

South Padre Island sits at the southern tip of Texas, where the Lower Laguna Madre — a shallow, hyper-saline, grass-rich lagoon — offers some of the best sight-casting for redfish and trophy speckled trout in the state, often in skinny, clear water made for fly and lure anglers. Its subtropical location adds snook and summer tarpon that more northern Texas bays rarely see. The Brownsville Ship Channel jetties and the nearshore Gulf bring kingfish, ling and the occasional big snook.
