Redfish
The Lower Laguna Madre near Brownsville is a fantastic place to chase redfish. This shallow, hypersaline bay system is tailor-made for sight fishing and shallow water tactics. The best time to target redfish here is during the fall and winter months when the water cools down and the fish congregate in the shallows. Focus on areas with seagrass beds, potholes, and oyster reefs. A local tip is to use polarized sunglasses to spot tailing redfish in the clear, shallow water. Live shrimp or artificial lures that mimic crabs and shrimp are highly effective. The redfish in this area are known for their size and abundance, with many fish exceeding 27 inches. Access to the Lower Laguna Madre is readily available from several boat ramps around South Padre Island, but be mindful of the wind, as it can quickly make navigating the shallow waters challenging.
