Spotting Seatrout and Scenic Sights on the Lower Laguna Madre fishing report coverpicture

March 17, 2025

Experience the Inshore Bounty and Serene Landscapes of the Lower Laguna Madre

We got an early start, meeting at 211 W Swordfish St at 7 AM to get rigged up and on the water. With our light tackle and baitcasting setups, we spent the day drifting and working the flats, targeting the prime feeding grounds. It didn't take long before the action heated up, and Nick was hooked into a nice Spotted Seatrout. He fought it hard, and we had it in the boat in no time. As we continued working the area, the bites kept coming, and we put a few more Trout in the cooler. The bite stayed consistent throughout the day, with enough action to keep us engaged but not so frantic that we couldn't enjoy the beautiful South Texas scenery. Between catches, we had a chance to take in the sights and sounds of the Lower Laguna Madre—the birds feeding, the gentle lapping of the waves, and the stunning backdrop of the coastal wetlands. It was the perfect blend of great fishing and relaxing time on the water. If you're looking to experience the incredible inshore fishing that South Padre Island has to offer, I can't recommend STX Bay Adventures enough. Their 6-hour private fishing trips are the perfect way to target trophy Redfish, Flounder, and of course, Spotted Seatrout. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started, their expert guides will make sure you have an unforgettable time on the water. Don't wait—book your trip today and get ready to reel in the catch of a lifetime!
