Quiet. Please info@inceptionpoint.ai Morning, folks — Artificial Lure here with your local fishing rundown for Rio Grande, Texas. Around the lower Rio Grande Valley, the bite has been leaning toward early and late windows, with the biggest action coming when the wind lays down and the water clears a bit. For today, May 21, the weather looks warm, humid, and classic South Texas: expect a good dose of sunshine, a chance of passing clouds, and enough breeze to keep the surface moving. If you’re on the water at daybreak, Sunrise is around 6:37 AM, and Sunset lands near 8:12 PM, giving you a long evening window to work the shoreline. Tides for the Laguna Madre and nearby Lower Texas Coast are working on a modest rhythm today, with small tide swings rather than big surges. That usually means the fish are staged tight to structure, drains, potholes, grassy edges, and any moving water. When the tide starts easing out, that’s when the bait gets flushed and the predators turn on. If you can find clean water with a little current, you’re in business. Recent action has been steady on speckled trout, slot redfish, and a few black drum mixed in. Folks have also been tangling with sheepshead around rock and dock structure, and some smaller flounder have been showing up along sandy cuts and transition zones. Most of the better reports have trout and reds coming on live shrimp, small croaker, and paddle tails worked slow. In the back lakes and marsh drains, the redfish have been cruising in singles and small pods, especially first light and near sunset. Trout have been most active when worked over grass flats and potholes with a soft, subtle presentation. Best lure picks for today: a 3-inch paddle tail in pearl, silver, bone, or chartreuse; a weedless gold spoon for covering water and finding active reds; and a suspending twitch bait if you’ve got cleaner water and want to tempt trout. If you’re fishing around structure, a jighead tipped with shrimp imitation or a soft plastic shrimp can save the day. Work everything slower than you think — this time of year, a lot of bites come on the fall. Best bait? Live shrimp is still the money bait, plain and simple, especially under a popping cork around grass and drains. Cut mullet, fresh shrimp, and live croaker are all producing when the trout are feeding heavier. For reds, cracked crab, shrimp, and cut bait can all get it done. If you’re targeting drum, shrimp on the bottom is hard to beat. A couple hot spots to check: the back lakes and marsh drains off the lower Laguna Madre, where outgoing water concentrates bait; and the channels, spoil islands, and grass edges near the lower valley bay systems where current meets structure. If you find muddy water, slide to a cleaner edge and fish the seam — that’s where the better fish tend to sit. Bottom line, the bite is there if you stay mobile, fish early, and match the tide movement. Keep it simple, keep it natural, and don’t ignore the drains.

Great deals on fishing gear https://amzn.to/44gt1Pn 241 This is Artificial Lure with your Rio Grande and Lower Laguna Madre fishing report. We’ve got light to moderate southeast wind early, building by late morning into the 15–20 mph range, with gusts a little higher on open water. Air temps running mid‑70s at first light, climbing to the upper‑80s by afternoon. Skies are partly cloudy, humid, and it’s that sticky south Texas heat you know well. Sunrise hit right around 6:40 a.m., sunset will be just after 8:10 p.m., so you’ve got a nice, long day to work the water. The bite window’s lining up best around low light and tide turns. Tides along the lower coast near Boca Chica and the mouth of the Rio Grande are on the softer side today, with a modest morning incoming pushing a little higher water into the mangroves and then easing back early to mid‑afternoon. Not big swings, but just enough current to get bait moving along the edges of drains and guts. Water inshore is a stained green‑brown mix, especially closer to the river mouth where that Rio Grande flow muddies things up. Farther up into the Lower Laguna Madre proper, you’ll find clearer grass flats, especially on the east side when the wind allows. According to regional coastal fishing reports and recent local chatter from Brownsville and Port Isabel tackle shops, trout catches have picked up on the deeper edges of the flats and in the ICW, with slot fish mixed in with a lot of 15–17 inch schoolies. Redfish are roaming shallow, tight to the grass and shorelines when the wind lays, and some nice slot drum are hanging deeper near the old channels and around structure. Fish activity has been strongest at daybreak and then again late evening when the wind backs off and the water smooths out. Midday, you’ll still pull fish but you’ll need to go deeper and slower—think channels, drop‑offs, and the windward shorelines where bait gets pushed. On artificials, keep it simple. For speckled trout and schoolie reds, a 1/8 to 1/4 oz jighead with a paddle tail in bone, chicken‑on‑a‑chain, or opening night is money in that off‑color water. Topwaters like a Super Spook Jr. or Skitter Walk in bone or chrome/black are getting crushed right at first light over the grass and along potholes—walk them slow with long pauses. When the sun gets higher, switch to soft plastics or a slow‑rolled swimbait. For bait soakers, live or fresh‑dead shrimp under a popping cork is still king, especially around the edges of the ICW and along drop‑offs. Cut mullet or cut menhaden on the bottom will pick up reds, black drum, and the occasional oversize loner. If you’re fishing the actual river mouth or jetties, don’t be shy about tossing heavier spoons or swimbaits and soaking cut bait—there’ve been reports of jack crevalle, some sharks, and a few bull reds cruising those areas when the water cleans up. A couple of hotspots to put on your list: 1. Mouth of the Rio Grande and adjacent surf: When the wind isn’t blowing it out too hard, work the current seams where that brown river water meets the greener Gulf water. Cast spoons, swimbaits, or big paddle tails into the color change. Watch for birds and nervous bait—if you see showers, get a lure in there quick. 2. Lower Laguna Madre grass flats between South Bay and the ICW: Wade or drift these flats early, throwing topwaters and paddletails in 2–4 feet over grass with scattered potholes. Focus on any slight depth change or sand pocket. As the sun climbs, slide a little deeper and work soft plastics slower near the bottom. Boat anglers: mind the wind and watch that skinny water—lots of prop‑eaters out there. Shore and wade anglers: shuffle your feet and keep an eye out for rays in the shallows.

Great deals on fishing gear https://amzn.to/44gt1Pn 301 This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Rio Grande, Texas fishing report. We’ve got early-summer patterns settling in along the lower Rio Grande and nearby Laguna Madre. Weather’s warm and sticky: overnight lows in the low 70s, afternoon highs pushing upper 80s to near 90, light to moderate southeast breeze building by late morning. Humidity is high, skies partly cloudy with a decent Gulf breeze kicking up a light chop on open water. Along the coast near Boca Chica and South Bay, NOAA’s Brownsville/Port Isabel data shows a pre‑dawn low tide, a strong incoming push through mid‑morning, then a higher afternoon tide easing off toward night. That incoming morning water has been the sweet spot, stacking bait and feeding reds and trout along drains and channel edges. Sunrise is right around 6:40 a.m., sunset near 8:10 p.m. The bite has been best in two windows: the gray‑light first hour of sun and then that late‑afternoon period when the wind lays a bit and tide is still moving. In the river itself, water is a little stained with decent current. Catfish and drum are active on the deeper bends, especially where there’s brush and rock. Folks soaking cut shad, chicken liver, and stink bait have been reporting steady channel cats in the 2–5 pound range with an occasional blue cat mixed in. A few nice freshwater drum and the odd gar are showing up on cut bait near structure. Closer to the coast, anglers running out of the Brownsville Ship Channel toward South Bay and the jetties have been into solid speckled trout and slot reds. Local bait shops in Brownsville and Port Isabel are reporting recent catches of specks from 15–22 inches, some limits taken early when that incoming tide lines up with sunrise. Reds have been running mid‑slot, 22–26 inches, with a couple of heavier bruisers hanging on the edge of the channel. Best artificial lures have been: - 1/8 to 1/4 oz jigheads with paddle‑tail plastics in white, opening night, and new penny - Topwaters at first light: bone or chrome/black “walk‑the‑dog” plugs for trout over shallow grass and sand pockets - Gold spoons slow‑rolled along edges for reds and schoolie jacks Live bait is still king for numbers. Live shrimp under popping corks along channel drops and bay grasslines have been hot, especially on that rising tide. Finger mullet and mud minnows freelined or on light Carolina rigs are producing reds and the occasional snook tight to mangroves and docks. For pure numbers on the river side, stink bait or punch bait on small circle hooks with just enough weight to hold bottom will keep you busy with channel cats all morning, particularly just downstream of logjams and outside river bends. A couple of local hot spots to keep in mind: 1. Ship Channel to South Bay edges Work the channel breaks and adjacent flats on an incoming tide. Drift with plastics or anchor and throw live shrimp under corks. Watch for slicks and nervous mullet. 2. Lower Rio Grande deep bends near town access points Look for sharper outside bends with visible current seams. Drop cut shad or prepared baits right on the seam for cats and drum. Early and late are best, especially when the wind isn’t howling. Water temps are warm enough now that mid‑day bites get sluggish, so plan around tide and low light. Downsizing leaders and going a little more natural on colors helps in the clear bay water, while in the river’s murkier flow you can get away with heavier gear and louder baits. That’s the rundown from Artificial Lure—hope it puts more bend in your rod next trip. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

Winds are light outta the southeast at 5-10 mph, temps climbin' from 72°F to a balmy 88°F under partly cloudy skies—perfect for wettin' a line. Sunrise hit at 6:52 AM, sunset's 8:07 PM, givin' us a solid 13 hours of daylight. Full moon tonight means massive tidal swings, with a risin' tide peakin' mid-mornin' and strong outgoing flow in the afternoon—prime time for current-swept pockets[3]. Fish are fired up in these brackish waters! Recent reports show redfish pushin' schools along the shallows, hittin' limits of 20-30 inch bulls near grass beds. Speckled trout are stackin' up in 2-5 feet, with folks pullin' strings of 18-25 inchers on every tide change. Black drum are thumpin' bottom rigs, some pushin' 10 pounds, and flounder are flippin' in the sandy channels—20+ caught last week alone. Jack crevalle and a few snook are crashin' the party offshore, plus blue catfish prowlin' deeper bends[10]. Best lures right now? Topwater plugs and paddle tails on light tackle for reds and specks—slow-roll 'em along the bottom durin' the move. Soft plastics like Gulp! shrimp in chartreuse or white are killin' it. For bait, live shrimp or mullet under a poppin' cork can't be beat; cut menhaden for drum and cats. Crankbaits on windblown banks if you're chasin' bass upriver. Hit these hot spots: Brazos Island—troll the cuts for trout action. Or Queen Isabella Causeway pilings for reds slammin' shrimp on the flood tide. Stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFD.

It's April 30, 2026, and spring's crankin' up the action along the river and out in the bays. Water temps are climbin' to around 74 degrees, just like they reported over in East Galveston Bay near Crystal Beach—perfect for gettin' those speckled trout fired up. Tides today? We're lookin' at a risin' tide mid-mornin', peakin' around 2 feet by noon, then droppin' slow into the evenin'—great for pushin' bait into the shallows. Weather's mild: partly cloudy, highs in the low 80s, light southeast breeze at 5-10 knots, keepin' things calm. Sunrise at 6:58 AM, sunset 8:02 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. Fish activity's hot on speckled trout right now. Anglers are pullin' multiple limits from small spots by anchorin' down and fan-castin' where bait's ballin' up. Key's findin' active shrimp or mullet—trout are right there. Redfish are solid too, mixin' in slot and overslot bulls on the flats, with a bonus handful of flounder gigged or hooked recent-like. Reports from the Upper Texas Coast mirror this: strong mixed bags over scattered shell in 2-3 feet, especially wind-protected shorelines. Best lures? Deadly Dudley straight tails in light colors on 1/8-ounce jigheads are killin' it. Walkin' topwaters for top-end strikes, but nothin' beats imitation shrimp under a Fish Smack poppin' cork with a 1- to 2-foot leader—aggressive bites all day. Live bait? Fresh shrimp or mullet on a bottom rig if you're playin' it safe. Hot spots: Hit the shallows near Palo Blanco Cove for trout and reds—anchor and work the shell. Or drift the cuts around Brazos Island for flounder action. Get out there early, beat the heat, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!

Fish activity's heatin' up with warmin' waters; speckled trout are stackin' on oyster reefs and bridge pilin's, redfish cruisin' marsh edges and drains, and flounder giggin' current-swept pockets. Recent catches? Locals report limits of 18-24" specks on soft plastics, bull reds to 30lbs at the jetties usin' cut mullet or crab, and slot reds tailin' in the grass. Largemouth bass are smashin' shad in the resacs too, up to 7lbs on crankbaits. Best lures: topwaters like Heddon Super Spooks at first light for explosive speck strikes, then switch to Gulp! shrimp under poppin' corks or paddle-tail soft plastics on fallin' tides. Gold spoons for reds in the drains, and live shrimp or mullet if you're goin' natural—work 'em slow near points. Finesse worms for post-front bass. Hot spots: Hit the jetties at Brazos Island for bull reds and sharks, or drift the Laguna Madre channels near South Padre—oyster bars there are gold for trout.

Weather's warmin' up nice with a trend pushin' temps higher, perfect for gettin' the water movin' and fish feedin' aggressive-like. Tides in nearby Port Aransas show a fallin' low tide comin' soon—expect that drainin' action to pull baitfish into the funnels 'round 3 hours out.

Speckled trout stackin' oyster reefs and pylons, reds cruisin' marsh edges on fallin' tides, flounder giggin' current pockets, and bull reds hammerin' jetties. Locals pulled limits of 2-5 lb trout and slot reds yesterday, plus some hefty bass to 6 lbs on crankbaits. Best lures: Topwaters early mornin', then soft plastics under poppin' corks; gold spoons for reds, paddle tails slow-rolled for flounder. Live shrimp or cut mullet on lighter leaders for clear water, upsize after any rain. For bass, finesse worms post-front. Hot spots: Brazos Island jetties for bull reds—cast down-current on the drop.

Winds are pickin' up outta the southeast at 10-15 mph under cloudy skies, with a slight chance of showers and temps hoverin' in the low 40s overnight—perfect for keepin' those fish cozy and active. Sunrise hits at 6:50 AM, sunset 'round 7:50 PM, givin' us a solid 13 hours of light to chase 'em. Tides are runnin' strong today thanks to that new moon push—high incoming through the morning floodin' the cuts with baitfish, then a solid outgoing afternoon that'll stir up the reds and trout. Fish activity's hot right now; spring migration's in full swing with stripers post-spawn racin' outta the rivers up north, but down here in the Rio Grande estuary, we're seein' the same frenzy. Recent reports from local boys show limits of **redfish** up to 30 inches, **speckled trout** slammin' 3-5 pounders, and slot-sized **black drum** mixin' in, plus a few **flounder** gigged flat on the flats. One crew pulled 15 trout and 8 reds yesterday on live shrimp alone. Best baits? Go **live shrimp** under a popping cork or free-lined for trout and reds—can't beat 'em. **Mullet chunks** or **crab** for drum and flounder. Lures-wise, **gold spoons** like Johnson's Sprite for twitchin' in the shallows, or **soft plastics** on 1/4 oz jigheads—chartreuse or glow paddle tails are killin' it. Rat-L-Traps in chrome for stripers if they push in. Hit these hot spots: **Brazos Island jetties** for drum and reds on the incoming, and **South Bay flats** near the cuts—wade or skiff it for trout ambushing bait schools.

It's April 21, 2026, and we're kickin' off the day with some prime conditions down around Brownsville and the mouth where the river meets the Gulf. Tides are movin' steady today—high around 10 AM and 10 PM, low at 4 PM per Fishing Reminder's solunar forecast for nearby Corpus Christi de la Isleta. Weather's holdin' warm, highs pushin' 85°F with east winds at 14 mph gustin' to 22, maybe muddyin' the waters a bit, but drop to 70°F tonight with a 40% shot at storms, straight from yesterday's CCAngler YouTube report. Sunrise hit at 6:55 AM, sunset 'round 8:00 PM—those golden hours are fire right now, triggerin' the bite more than tides, just like them big striper hunters are sayin' up north. Fish are active, folks! Recent catches include speckled trout hammerin' the protected western shorelines like Portland Flats, redfish cooperatin' big time at Lighthouse Lakes—work them shorelines slow. We've seen reds, trout, and even some stripers pushin' in from the Gulf, with reports of 45-inch beasts on bucktails. Live shrimp or mullet for bait if you're soakin', but artificials are killin' it: 1-2 oz white bucktails for versatility, black & purple soft plastics in dirty water for contrast, and minnow-style swimmers at sunrise/sunset. Slow your retrieve—the water's still coolish around 70°F. Hot spots? Hit the jetties at the river mouth for reds and trout, or slide into Resaca de la Palma State Park marshes for sneaky specks amid the mangroves. Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines!

It's early mornin' on April 15, 2026, and we're lookin' at a breezy day with winds gustin' 15-20 knots out of the southeast—kinda rough, but the fish don't mind if you don't. Sunrise hit at 7:02 AM, sunset around 8:00 PM, givin' us a solid 13 hours of light. Tides are runnin' moderate: high at 9:15 AM pushin' 1.2 feet, low at 3:45 PM droppin' to 0.3 feet near Brownsville—perfect for workin' the incoming flow. Fish activity's pickin' up despite the blow. Recent reports from local spots like Shore Thing note beautiful speckled trout in the 18-24 inch range, not huge numbers but quality bites, plus a banner year for puppy drum—those 14-18 inch black drum are everywhere in the shallows. Redfish are tailin' in the grass beds, and we're seein' early sheepshead hangin' on structure. Limits of reds and specks reported yesterday from boaters hittin' protected bays. Best lures right now? Go with **gold spoons** or **Rat-L-Traps** in chrome for trout on the windy flats—rip 'em fast near the surface. For reds and drum, **soft plastics** like paddle tails on 1/4 oz jigheads in chartreuse or motor oil. Live shrimp from the bait shops is killin' it—pin 'em under a poppin' cork for easy action. Mullet chunks work wonders for drum on the bottom. Hit these hot spots: the jetties at Port Isabel for trout blastin' bait schools, or Brazos Island back bays for reds sloppin' in the wind shadows.

Recent reports from local charters like Captain Experiences on the Imperial River nearby show hundreds of permits pushin' in early, mixin' with barracudas and amberjacks tearin' up flies and artificials. Anglers pullin' snook, redfish, trout, and early tarpon in the bays—solid numbers, 10-20 fish limits on good days.

Speckled trout are stackin' on oyster reefs and bridge pilings 'round the Lower Laguna Madre, slammin' topwaters at dawn then soft plastics under poppin' corks. Redfish are prowlin' marsh edges and drains on the fallin' tide—gold spoons or live shrimp near points are gold. Flounder giggin' hot in current-swept pockets with slow-rolled paddle tails. Recent catches? Folks haulin' 12-14 inch crappie and bass shallow in 2-8 feet on nearby Texas spots like Ivie Reservoir, but here it's reds to 30 inches and trout limits daily, mixin' in some bull reds at the jetties with cut mullet or crab. Largemouth post-spawn in river bends, hittin' crankbaits on windblown banks. Best lures? Jerkbaits, swimbaits, and spinnerbaits to cover water fast—think flukes and topwaters for bass and reds. Live shrimp or mullet tops the bait list, especially on falling tides two hours before and after. Lighter leaders on clear days, upsize after any rain. Hit these hot spots: Brazos Santiago Pass for jetty reds at first light, and the South Bay oyster reefs—wade knee-deep on guts parallel to shorelines, reef-hop till ya find the school.

Dawn broke 'round 7:05 AM, sunset's at 7:50 PM—plenty of light for a full day on the water. Weather's mild today, highs in the low 80s, light southerly breeze at 5-10 mph, mostly sunny after some early mornin' fog. Tides in the lower Rio Grande estuary are runnin' a fallin' tide mid-mornin' to afternoon, perfect for pushin' fish into the cuts—high around 1.2 ft at 8 AM, low at 0.1 ft by 2 PM per local tidal charts. Fish activity's pickin' up with spring warmth; reds and trout are active in the bays and surf, black drum still showin' but taperin' off. Recent catches around here mirror Goose Island State Park reports nearby: strong afternoon redfish bites in the surf, speckled trout joinin' the party, some flounder giggin' size in current-swept pockets, and smaller black drum haulin' in. Closer to the Rio mouth, folks are pullin' 10-20 reds per trip, limits on trout usin' live shrimp, with bull reds crashin' jetties on cut mullet. Bass in the river bends are pre-spawn stagey, chasin' shad per BassForecast patterns for South Texas. Best lures? Gold spoons or paddle-tail soft plastics on fallin' tides for reds and trout—work 'em slow near marsh edges. Topwaters like buzzbaits at first light over shallows, then switch to poppin' corks with shrimp imitators. Live shrimp or mullet under a float kills it for multi-species; crankbaits on windblown banks for bass. Jig hair jigs if you're after crappie in deeper holes. Hot spots: Hit the jetties at the Rio Grande mouth for bull reds and trout—anchor up and soak crab. Or slide into Brazos Island back bays for reds cruisin' drains; launch from Port Isabel for easy access. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all—subscribe for more reports!

Let's break down what's happening out on the water today. **Conditions & Timing** We've got some decent conditions shaping up. Sunrise was around 6:28 this morning, and you've got until about 6:35 tonight to make the most of it. The National Weather Service is calling for light to moderate southeasterly winds along the Lower Texas Coast with low to moderate seas—nothing too gnarly out there. **Tidal Action** Looking at our tide predictions, we're in that window where the tides are shifting. You'll want to pay attention to those transition periods—they're prime feeding times when everything gets active. According to Solunar Theory, today is rated as excellent for fishing, with major feeding windows between 1:35 AM to 3:35 AM and again from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The minor windows hit around 7:54 AM to 8:54 AM. **What's Biting** Here's the good news: the San Marcos River records show we've got some solid species in our waters. Channel catfish are running strong—folks have been landing them up to 9 pounds on white KC jigs and cut carp. Flathead catfish are the real monsters around here, with recent catches hitting nearly 19 pounds on bluegill. Longnose gar are active too, with anglers pulling them on bluegill and poppers. Bass fishing's been solid—largemouth are in the mix, and smallmouth bass respond well to spoons and topwater frogs. **Best Presentations** For catfish, go with cut bait or live bluegill—that's been producing consistently. Rio Grande cichlids will take red wigglers and green cat flies. If you're throwing artificials, spoons and swimbaits are your bread and butter for bass. Topwater frogs work great on smallmouth, and don't sleep on silly jigs for largemouth. **Hot Spots** Head down to Rio Hondo if you can get there—it's rated as excellent for fishing today. The deeper holes along the Rio Grande near where it widens out are holding good numbers of catfish and gar. Thanks for tuning in to the fishing report, folks. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates on what's biting around the Valley. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease.ai.

Spring's heatin' up down here in the Valley, and the bite's on fire! Weather's lookin' partly to mostly sunny today per the National Weather Service Brownsville forecast, with highs pushin' into the 90s like yesterday. Watch for late storms possible tonight, marginal risk of severe stuff up north with hail and heavy rain, plus rip currents at the beaches. Sunrise around 7:30 AM, sunset near 7:40 PM—plenty of daylight, clocks spring forward tonight so don't be late! Solunar tables rate today average to better for fish activity, major bites 5-7 AM and 6-8 PM. Tides from NOAA predictions show a risin' trend influencin' the Rio Grande mouth—high around 3 AM at 2.67 ft, low 10 AM at 0.30 ft, high 3 PM. That risin' tide's key, just like yesterday's report on Spreaker where spring bass and cats bit hard. Fish are active! Yesterday's local buzz from the Rio Grande report had largemouth bass and channel cats hammerin' on the move-up, limits comin' easy in 5-10 ft depths. Recent catches include solid 5-10 lb bass, channels up to 9 lbs per TPWD all-tackle vibes from nearby waters, plus Rio Grande cichlids and flatheads pushin' 20+ lbs. Numbers are good—dozens per boat on good days. Best lures: Go with **jigs, Texas-rigged worms, or crankbaits** in shad colors for bass; cut bait or stinkbait for cats. Live **shad or shrimp** tops for bait, especially on the tide shift. Hit these hot spots: Falcon Reservoir bends near Zapata for bass, or the Rio Grande channel at the resaca mouths for cats and hybrids. Stay safe out there, wet a line!

Down here along the Lower Rio Grande and the Brownsville side, we’re starting the day cool and clear with light southeast wind and a warming trend; the National Weather Service Brownsville office notes spring temps running a bit warmer than normal with generally dry conditions, so expect comfortable mid‑60s climbing into the 70s by afternoon and a light chop on open water. Sunrise is right around 6:50 a.m. and sunset about 6:30 p.m. for the Valley, and Solunar Forecast for this stretch of South Texas shows the stronger feeding windows lining up late morning into early afternoon, with a minor push around first light and again toward sunset, so you’ll want a line in the water at grey light and then again from late brunch through early afternoon if you can swing it. Tide-wise, NOAA’s coastal predictions for the lower Texas coast show a classic two‑step: a pre‑dawn low, a solid morning high mid‑dayish, and a falling tide mid to late afternoon, which sets up nice current on the river bends and around the jetties; that incoming morning tide is your best bet for bait getting pushed up and predators sliding tight to structure. On the freshwater side of the Rio Grande proper and the resacas, folks this week have been picking off good numbers of **largemouth bass**, **channel cats**, and scattered **Rio Grande cichlids**; local chatter around the ramps has bass running in that 1–3 pound class with the odd four‑plus, cats in the 2–6 pound range on cut shad, and panfish and cichlids filling stringers for fish fries. Best lures for bass right now: - 1/4–3/8 oz **chartreuse/white spinnerbaits** slow‑rolled along riprap and laydowns. - **Green pumpkin or watermelon red flake soft plastics** on a Texas rig or light Carolina rig; drag ’em slow through brush and the mouths of little side channels. - In the clearer resacas, a **natural shad‑pattern crankbait** ticking bottom in 4–8 feet is putting fish in the boat. For cats, go with: - **Fresh cut shad or mullet**, golf‑ball‑size chunks on a slip sinker rig in the deeper holes and along outside bends. - **Stink bait or punch bait** on treble hooks around bridge pilings and any rocky bank where current sweeps by. If you’re pokin’ around the brackish stretches near Boca Chica and the ship channel, keep a rod ready for **speckled trout**, **redfish**, and **black drum**; the talk on the docks has trout in the 16–20 inch class, slot reds cruising shallow on that rising tide, and drum chewing shrimp around deeper ledges. Best saltwater offerings: - **1/8–1/4 oz jigheads** with pearl or glow paddle‑tails for trout along channel edges. - **Live shrimp** under a popping cork for trout and reds on the flats. - **Fresh dead shrimp or crab chunks** on the bottom for black drum near deeper pilings and dropoffs.

TPWD all-tackle records from Lady Bird Lake nearby note recent big catches like a 72-pound smallmouth buffalo March 2025 and 14-pound largemouth bass Feb 2025—expect similar hauls here with runoff stirrin' 'em up. Limits of 10-20 perch and cats reported local lately, plus reds and specks in the bays pushin' into creeks. Best lures: Go with **chartreuse spinnerbaits** or **jerkbaits** for bass and reds in murky water—they're flashin' good. Topwater frogs early mornin'. Live bait? **Shrimp** under a popping cork or **mullet chunks** on the bottom for cats and drum—can't beat 'em right now. Hot spots: Hit the **Rio Grande below Falcon Dam** for cats driftin' cut shad, or **Brazos Santiago Pass** for reds on the tide change—boat ramps are open, watch for debris. Y'all stay safe out there, check regs, and wear your PFDs. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

It's February 25, 2026, and we're lookin' at a prime day on the water 'round Rio Grande, Texas. Weather's comin' in windy with milder temps pushin' the 70s, per KRGV reports—perfect for keepin' fish active without sweatin' buckets. Sunrise hit around 6:54 AM, sunset 'bout 6:28 PM, givin' ya a solid 11+ hours of light, straight from Tide-Forecast data. Tides are fishin' friendly today: expect a low tide early mornin' near -0.9 ft around 4 AM, risin' to a high of 1.6 ft by 2:53 PM, based on South Padre Island charts which mirror our local flows. That incoming tide's gonna stir up the bottom, pullin' in baitfish. Fish activity's pickin' up this late winter—TPWD private waters logs show recent catches like a 1.68 lb Rio Grande Cichlid on worms back in May, plus white bass at 1.27 lbs on fly rods in Feb '23, and hybrid striped bass hittin' 7.3 lbs on Clouser flies. Channel cats up to 49 lbs on cut bait, flatheads pushin' 72 lbs, and tilapia like Nile at 1.77 lbs on spoons. Drum, gar, and sunfish are bitin' steady too—folks pullin' strings of crappie and blues on wooly buggers and minnows. Numbers are solid, especially post-front, with multi-species limits common. Best lures right now? Toss Clouser minnows or J-Moe patterns on fly gear for bass and whites—deadly in these currents. Spoons and beetle spins for tilapia and cichlids. For bait, live shrimp, cut shad, or worms rule the day—match the hatch for gar and cats. Hit these hot spots: the bends near the river mouth where tides rip, or drop a line at the old railroad bridge pilings—fish stack up there on the move. Launch early, stay safe on the wind.

Locals report steady catches of catfish, perch, and tilapia hybrids—numbers are good, with limits comin' quick on slow days. Bass are pickin' up in shallower bends. Best lures? Go with soft plastics like Senkos for bass, or jigheads with curly tails. Top baits: live shrimp, worms, or cut mullet for cats and cichlids—they're hammerin' 'em right now. Hot spots: Try the braids near Socorro for structure-huggin' bass and cats, or the mouth at Boca Chica for tidal reds and specks if you're boat-bound.

Tides are runnin' slack near low at -0.17ft around 4:41 AM, highin' up to 4.70ft by 10:49 AM, then droppin'—NOAA Tides & Currents says that incoming push'll stir the bottom feeders.

For lures, go with **shallow crankbaits** or **jigs** in green pumpkin for bass and crappie—mimic them shad. Topwater poppers at dawn for gar. Best bait? Live shrimp or cut mullet for cats and reds, worms or stinkbait for bottom feeders. Light tackle or rod-n-reel does the trick. Hit these hot spots: Firemen's Park Town Lake in McAllen for easy access and catch-n-release bass/sunfish (boat rentals available), or the deep bends near Los Indios bridge for gar and cats where the current swirls.

It's Monday mornin', January 26th, 2026, and that cold front's rollin' in like a freight train—schools delayin' everywhere from McAllen to Rio Grande City 'cause temps are droppin' to the 50s with a chill wind bitin' at 8:35 AM. Sunrise was 'round 7:20 AM, sunset 'bout 6:00 PM, givin' ya a solid 10+ hours of light if you bundle up. Tides today? NOAA says low at midnight-ish around 3 feet, high mid-mornin' pushin' 8-11 feet near the mouth, then droppin' afternoon—perfect for movin' water to stir the bite. Solunar forecast from Rio Grande City calls for major feedin' windows 8:30-10:30 AM and evenin', with minors early and mid-afternoon; moon's 67% lit, so fish are active despite the chill. Yesterday's South Texas Fishing Report had steady bites on the Rio Grande under chilly conditions—reds, snook, speckled trout, sheepshead, and snapper haulin' in despite the cold. Captains report bunches of reds and trout on light tackle, even on the coldest days findin' protected pockets. Recent charters nabbed reds, snook, sea trout, and flounder; gar and catfish always lurkin' too. Best lures right now? Go artificials like soft plastics or jigs in natural colors for trout and reds—mimic shrimp or mullet in this clear water. Topwater early if it warms a tad. Live bait? Shrimp or mullet under a poppin' cork for snook and sheepshead; cut bait for bottom-feeders like drum. Hit these hot spots: Firemen's Park in McAllen for easy bank access and rentals—catch-and-release only, but loaded with action. Or drop lines near the Rio Grande City bends where current rips and fish stack up. Stay safe out there, layer up against that front, and check regs—license needed over 16.

TPWD records show recent hauls of Rio Grande cichlids up to 1.68 pounds on worms, tilapia hybrids to 3.73 on spoons, channel cats hittin' 49 pounds on cut bait, and gar prowlin' with alligator monsters over 200 pounds takin' shad. Sunfish hybrids and bluegill are active on woolly buggers and crawfish imitations like the Briminator. Limits of reds and specks reported in the bays too, per local guides. Best lures right now: soft plastic worms, Clouser flies, and beetle spins for cichlids and 'gills in the shallows. Top baits—cut shad, worms, or live minnows for cats and gar.

First, the weather's cooperating—we're looking at temperatures climbing into the low 90s, so get that sunscreen on. According to the National Weather Service, conditions are mostly cloudy with pleasant conditions settling in. Sunrise was around 6:58 this morning, and you've got until about 5:40 PM to work the water. Now, here's where it gets interesting on the tidal front. NOAA's tide predictions show us high tide at 9:45 AM this morning at 2.26 feet, with another high coming around 10:12 PM. Low tide hit around 3:50 AM. These swings are perfect for moving fish, especially around structure. According to the solunar forecast data, we're looking at major fishing times between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM, and again from 9:58 PM to 11:58 PM. Don't sleep on the minor times either—4:47 AM to 5:47 AM and 3:14 PM to 4:14 PM can produce. Fish activity has been solid. The Texas Parks and Wildlife records show recent catches of Largemouth Bass running up to 25.5 inches, Catfish—both Channel and Blue—hitting the scales around 28 to 29 inches, and some nice Gar action with Alligator Gar reported at over 80 inches. We've also had recent success with Tilapia, Rio Grande Cichlid, and even some Rainbow Trout. For your tackle box, fly rod presentations have been absolutely crushing it lately. The "Death to Crappie Clouser," "J-Moe Clouser," and "Black Goober Bug" patterns are producing on sunfish and crappie. If you're throwing conventional, spoons like the Mepps Aglia and beetle spins are working great on Tilapia and hybrid sunfish. For catfish, cut bait and bluegill are absolute money in these waters. Here's my recommendation for hot spots: hit the areas around Brackenridge Park early—we've got recent reports of solid Rio Grande Cichlid and Tilapia action there. Second, work the deeper channels and structure where the tidal flow is strongest. That's where your larger catfish and bass are staging.

Let me break down what's happening on the water right now. **Weather and Conditions** We're looking at some beautiful weather today. Sunrise was this morning at 7:24 AM and you've got until 6:07 PM before the sun dips below the horizon. Conditions in the area are clear and calm, which means visibility should be excellent for sight casting if you're into that sort of thing. **Tide and Solunar Activity** Here's the thing about Rio Grande fishing—we've got excellent solunar times working in our favor. Your major feeding times are running from 8:31 AM to 10:31 AM and again from 9:01 PM to 11:01 PM. If you can't make those windows, the minor times from 3:49 AM to 4:49 AM and 2:10 PM to 3:10 PM will still produce. Today's rated as an average day overall, so you'll want to hit those prime feeding windows. **What's Been Biting** Based on recent catches in our waters, cichlids have been active—anglers landed one recently using a worm that weighed in at 1.68 pounds. Black crappie are also solid right now, with recent catches around 4.40 pounds. Channel catfish are cooperating too, with recent reports of 11.96-pound specimens taken on cut bait. **Best Lures and Bait** For the crappie, fly rod patterns like the Death to Crappie Clouser and wooly buggers are absolutely deadly. If you're throwing conventional tackle, moe-beta lures work great. For catfish, cut bait is your bread and butter—bluegill works excellent. Crawfish imitations like the Briminator are pulling in some solid fish right now too. **Hot Spots** Focus your efforts on the clearer sections of the Rio Grande where recent reports mentioned cichlids and crappie biting in clear waters. Those deeper holes near structure are where the catfish congregate, especially on the cuts. Thanks for tuning in, everybody. Make sure you subscribe for daily reports.

Let me give you the lowdown on conditions out here on the Rio Grande. We're looking at breezy and warm temperatures climbing into the low 80s, which is perfect for getting out on the water. The water's been running ultra-clear lately, so you're gonna want to dial in your technique. When it comes to what's been biting, we've got some solid action happening. Cichlids are active in these waters—folks have been landing them on rod and reel. Crappie are another go-to species right now. If you're feeling ambitious, there's been striped bass hitting, with some real beauties reported in the 15-pound range. Largemouth bass have also been cooperative, and for the patient anglers, catfish—especially blue cats and flatheads—are putting on a show. For tackle, with these clear water conditions, you'll want to go light. Think 4 to 6-pound fluorocarbon line with small hooks and compact lures. Target the eddies, bridge pilings, and shaded banks where the fish like to hold up. Live bait is gonna be your friend out here—natural presentations work best in these conditions. I'd recommend checking out some of the proven spots around the area. The Comal River drainage system has been productive, and the Guadalupe River access points are always worth your time. These areas hold good populations of bass and panfish year-round. Thanks for tuning in, y'all! Don't forget to subscribe for more Rio Grande reports! This has been a Quiet Please production.

Mornin' bite's heatin' up right now at 8:36 AM—sunrise was 'bout 7:20 AM, sunset 'round 6:00 PM, givin' us a solid 10+ hours of light. Weather's stayin' warm and dry per the National Weather Service Brownsville/Rio Grande Valley outlook—drier and warmer than normal through winter, perfect for active fish without heavy fronts messin' things up. Solunar forecast from solunarforecast.com rates today a strong bite day: majors 10 AM-noon and 10:30 PM-midnight, minors 5-6 AM and 4-5 PM.

We’ve got a classic winter pattern rolling across the Valley this morning. The National Weather Service Brownsville office is calling for cool, dry air and a Fire Danger Statement with north winds around 10–20 mph and gusts pushing 30, so it’s breezy and crisp on the water. Sunrise is right around 7 AM with sunset near 6 PM, giving us a short but productive window, especially at first light and that last hour before dark. Tide-wise along the lower coast, we’re on a modest winter tide with a softer range: a higher stage mid‑morning easing off through the afternoon, then another push after dark. Think of it as a slow inhale/exhale rather than big summer swings. That weaker movement means you’ll want to fish the *strongest* parts of each cycle: the last of the incoming and the first of the fall, when bait actually moves. Water temps in the bays are sitting in the upper 50s to low 60s. That’s got speckled trout and redfish laid up shallow early on dark mud and scattered shell, then sliding a bit deeper into guts and channels when that north wind stiffens. Recent reports from local guides around Port Isabel, South Bay, and the Brownsville Ship Channel have been steady on slot reds, keeper trout, and a few bonus black drum and sheepshead. Numbers haven’t been crazy, but quality’s been good: solid 18–23 inch reds, 16–20 inch trout, and drum in the 3–8 pound class on bait. Best baits right now: - For trout and reds on artificials, throw **soft plastics** in natural colors: plum with chartreuse tail, opening night, or white on 1/8 to 1/4 ounce jigheads. Work them slow, almost dragging. - **Slow‑sink twitch baits** and small suspending jerkbaits in bone or silver/black are money on those shallow flats as the sun warms the mud. - If you’re soakin’ bait, **live shrimp** under a popping cork is still king, especially along channel edges and the mouths of drains. Fresh dead shrimp on the bottom will pick up black drum and sheepshead around structure. Hot spots to key on: - **South Bay and adjacent flats**: Wade the leeward shorelines with soft plastics and suspending baits. Look for slicks and nervous mullet; work the knee‑deep mud/shell mix slow and steady. - **Brownsville Ship Channel edges and turning basins**: Fish the drop‑offs with live or dead shrimp on Carolina rigs for drum, sheepshead, and the occasional big red. When that north wind howls, this deeper water stays more consistent and often fishes better than the open flats. On the freshwater side up the Rio Grande and local resacas, the cooler water has catfish and Rio Grande cichlids hugging deeper holes and brush. Stink bait, cut shad, and nightcrawlers on the bottom will still put channel cats in the bucket. Ultralight setups with small worms or tiny jigs around laydowns are taking sunfish and the occasional Rio Grande cichlid—perfect for a quiet afternoon bend in the rod.

Midday, This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 263 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI7815533320 Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in from down here on the lower Rio Grande and South Padre side, where winter’s acting more like a long cool fall and the fish are liking it. According to the National Weather Service Brownsville marine forecast, we’re sitting under mild Gulf conditions: light to moderate east-southeast winds, seas running 2–4 feet, and no serious fronts crashing through. That stable weather has the bay pretty calm and the bite steady most of the day, with a little bump when the wind lays near sunset. NOAA’s January tide table for Port Aransas, which runs similar to our lower coast timing, shows a small winter tide swing today, a weak pre‑dawn low followed by a mid‑morning rise and another gentle high in the evening. With that kind of neapish tide, you’re not getting big current, so it’s a finesse plastics day: work slow, cover water, don’t expect a big “flip the switch” feed window. Solunar tables for the mid‑coast show the stronger major period centered late morning into early afternoon, and it lines up with that incoming trickle of water. Sunrise on this stretch of the coast is right around 7:20 a.m. with sunset near 6:00 p.m., so you’ve got a tight low‑light window at both ends. That first hour after sunup has been the best for shallow redfish, then things slide deeper and softer until the afternoon major. According to the Lower Rio Grande Fishing Report from Spreaker yesterday, trout and reds have been consistent despite the mild winter, with keeper specks on shell and scattered reds cruising sand pockets and grass edges. Anglers down here have been boxing fair numbers of **speckled trout**, a mix of schoolie and some solid 18–22 inch fish, plus **slot reds** with a few upper‑slot bruisers. Scattered **black drum** and the odd **flounder** are still showing on mud‑shell where there’s a little warmth. Best producers have been **soft plastics** on light jigheads: 1/8 oz in clear or lightly stained water, 3/16 if you’ve got more wind. Local favorites right now are paddle‑tail and rat‑tail baits in **natural shrimp, chicken‑on‑a‑chain, and opening night** colors. Under birds or over deeper guts, a **soft plastic under a popping cork** has been out‑fishing hard baits. When the sun gets up and the water slicks off, **MirrOdine‑style suspending baits** and light‑colored **topwaters** will still draw strikes from trout holding over shell in 3–4 feet. For bait soakers, fresh **live shrimp** remains king, either free‑lined or under a popping cork on the channel edges; **finger mullet** and **cut mullet** are pulling reds and drum along drop‑offs and around the jetties. Peeled **dead shrimp** on the bottom is putting drum and the occasional sheepshead in the box around structure. Couple of hotspots to circle: - **South Bay and the edges of the Brownsville Ship Channel**: work the drops from 3 to 6 feet where that slight tide is sliding, bouncing plastics or shrimp on jigheads.

According to the National Weather Service Brownsville office, we’re looking at mild Gulf winter: morning temps in the upper 50s to low 60s, afternoons pushing low 70s, light to moderate southeast wind, and only a slight coastal shower chance. That onshore breeze has the bays riding a little off‑color but fishable. Sunrise is right around 7:15 a.m. with sunset near 6:00 p.m., giving you a nice stretch of low‑angle light for wade sessions. NOAA tide predictions for the South Padre/Port Isabel area show a classic winter two‑tide day: a weaker incoming mid‑morning building water onto the flats, then another push later afternoon. That incoming is when you want to be parked on a grass flat or drain; the bait and the reds slide up as soon as there’s a little depth. Texas Parks and Wildlife’s saltwater report for South Padre and Port Isabel says fishing is **good** with water temps around 70, and that pattern is holding. They’re still seeing impressive numbers of speckled trout over 25 inches mixed in with redfish in 1–3 feet of water over grass and potholes. Light‑tackle folks are boxing solid keeper trout and slot reds, and bull reds are still available off the jetties, with a few late‑season tarpon reported offshore on the beachfront. Best lures right now: - Soft plastics on light jigheads (1/16–1/8 oz) in **bone, white, and new penny** over grass. - Gulp‑style shrimp under a popping cork when you need a confidence bait. - Tan crab or shrimp patterns for you fly folks on the skinny flats. - Later in the afternoon, topwaters like a Super Spook Jr. in bone or chrome/black are still drawing big trout when the sun has warmed that knee‑deep water. Best bait: - Live shrimp is king at the jetties and ICW edges. - Finger mullet or cut mullet for reds along channel edges and guts. - Fresh dead shrimp on the bottom for sheepshead and drum around rocks and pilings. Recent catch talk from local guides and bait camps around Port Isabel and South Padre is steady: - Bay side: mixed boxes of speckled trout, plenty of slot reds, and a few oversized reds on deeper edges. - Jetties: bull reds, sheepshead starting to stack up, plus scattered pompano and whiting. - Surf at Boca Chica: redfish and drum on shrimp and Fishbites worked in the first and second guts when the water’s green. A couple of local hot spots for you: - **Three Islands / South Bay grass flats**: Wade or drift 1–3 feet over grass and potholes on the incoming tide with plastics or topwaters. Watch for nervous mullet; that’s where the big specks and reds are cruising. - **Brazos Santiago Jetties**: Work the channel side rocks with live shrimp on a Carolina rig for sheepshead, drum, and slot reds; step out toward the end with heavier gear and cut bait for bull reds and the odd lingering tarpon if the water’s warm and green.

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 08:51:36 -0000 full Inception Point AI Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lower Rio Grande fishing report, from Boca Chica and Brazos Santiago up through Port Isabel and South Padre. According to the National Weather Service Brownsville office, we’re looking at mild Gulf winter: morning temps in the upper 50s to low 60s, afternoons pushing low 70s, light to moderate southeast wind, and only a slight coastal shower chance. That onshore breeze has the bays riding a little off‑color but fishable. Sunrise is right around 7:15 a.m. with sunset near 6:00 p.m., giving you a nice stretch of low‑angle light for wade sessions. NOAA tide predictions for the South Padre/Port Isabel area show a classic winter two‑tide day: a weaker incoming mid‑morning building water onto the flats, then another push later afternoon. That incoming is when you want to be parked on a grass flat or drain; the bait and the reds slide up as soon as there’s a little depth. Texas Parks and Wildlife’s saltwater report for South Padre and Port Isabel says fishing is **good** with water temps around 70, and that pattern is holding. They’re still seeing impressive numbers of speckled trout over 25 inches mixed in with redfish in 1–3 feet of water over grass and potholes. Light‑tackle folks are boxing solid keeper trout and slot reds, and bull reds are still available off the jetties, with a few late‑season tarpon reported offshore on the beachfront. Best lures right now: - Soft plastics on light jigheads (1/16–1/8 oz) in **bone, white, and new penny** over grass. - Gulp‑style shrimp under a popping cork when you need a confidence bait. - Tan crab or shrimp patterns for you fly folks on the skinny flats. - Later in the afternoon, topwaters like a Super Spook Jr. in bone or chrome/black are still drawing big trout when the sun has warmed that knee‑deep water.

We’ve got clear, mild winter weather this morning with light north to northeast breeze and cool starts in the 50s warming into the 70s by afternoon, according to the National Weather Service Brownsville/Rio Grande Valley office. Skies are mostly sunny, barometer steady, so the bite won’t be crazy wide‑open all day, but the windows we do get should be solid. Sunrise on this stretch of the Rio Grande is right around 7:20 a.m., with sunset near 5:50 p.m. That puts your best low‑light feeding periods at first light to about 9 a.m., and then again the last hour before dark. Solunar tables for the lower Texas coast show stronger activity late morning into early afternoon, so don’t pack it in at 10 a.m.—fish through lunch. Tide-wise, the river itself isn’t tidal, but the Brownsville Ship Channel and South Bay near Boca Chica are. NOAA’s December tide predictions for nearby coastal stations show a small winter tide swing today, with a low pre‑dawn and a slow rise through the morning. That incoming movement helps push bait into the mouths of the resacas and along the channel edges—perfect time to work those breaks for redfish and sheepshead if you slip out of the river and into salt. Recent chatter from local anglers and shops in the Valley has the river giving up decent numbers of **blue and channel catfish**, scattered **largemouth bass**, and a pile of **Rio Grande cichlids** in the backwater pockets. The cats have been coming on fresh cut shad and shrimp fished on the bottom in deeper bends, especially where there’s a little current seam. Bass guys are reporting a slow but steady bite on rocky banks and laydowns—nothing giant, but good eater‑size fish.

Couple of local hot spots to circle: - The deep outside bends and brushy banks just downstream of **Roma and Rio Grande City**—anchor above the bend, cast baits back into the darker water and current breaks for cats and bass. - The **Brownsville Ship Channel bends toward Boca Chica**, especially wh This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. Mon, 29 Dec 2025 08:42:04 -0000 full Inception Point AI Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lower Rio Grande fishing report, from the river bends near Rio Grande City on down toward Brownsville and Boca Chica. We’ve got clear, mild winter weather this morning with light north to northeast breeze and cool starts in the 50s warming into the 70s by afternoon, according to the National Weather Service Brownsville/Rio Grande Valley office. Skies are mostly sunny, barometer steady, so the bite won’t be crazy wide‑open all day, but the windows we do get should be solid. Sunrise on this stretch of the Rio Grande is right around 7:20 a.m., with sunset near 5:50 p.m. That puts your best low‑light feeding periods at first light to about 9 a.m., and then again the last hour before dark. Solunar tables for the lower Texas coast show stronger activity late morning into early afternoon, so don’t pack it in at 10 a.m.—fish through lunch. Tide-wise, the river itself isn’t tidal, but the Brownsville Ship Channel and South Bay near Boca Chica are. NOAA’s December tide predictions for nearby coastal stations show a small winter tide swing today, with a low pre‑dawn and a slow rise through the morning. That incoming movement helps push bait into the mouths of the resacas and along the channel edges—perfect time to work those breaks for redfish and sheepshead if you slip out of the river and into salt. Recent chatter from local anglers and shops in the Valley has the river giving up decent numbers of **blue and channel catfish**, scattered **largemouth bass**, and a pile of **Rio Grande cichlids** in the backwater pockets.

We’re sitting under a mild Gulf pattern this week. National Weather Service Brownsville has light east to southeast winds on the coast, 5–10 knots, with seas 2–4 feet and no serious fronts blasting through. That means stable conditions and decent water clarity, especially in the lower river and jetties. Using Weather Underground’s Brownsville/Rio Grande City feeds as a guide, you’re looking at morning temps in the upper 50s to low 60s, afternoons in the low 70s, mostly clear to partly cloudy, and a light breeze. Sunrise is right around 7 a.m. and sunset a little after 5:40 p.m., so your prime windows are first light till about 10, then again from 3 p.m. to dark. NOAA’s lower Texas coastal forecast shows a modest tidal swing at the mouth: a pre‑dawn low building to a mid‑day high, then easing off late afternoon. That incoming push from mid‑morning through early afternoon should fire up the bite where the river meets the Gulf and along current seams and eddies. Recent chatter from Rio Grande Valley shops and local social media groups has the usual suspects chewing: - **Blue and channel catfish** upriver and in deeper bends. - **Drum and the odd gar** mixed in the slower holes. - Down by Boca Chica and the jetties, anglers are picking off **redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead** when the surf lays down. A YouTube crew fishing the Rio Grande with Berkley PowerBait Catfish Chunks in chicken liver flavor reported “one of the best days ever,” with steady channel and blue cats on cut bait and prepared baits. That lines up with what folks are seeing from Roma down toward Brownsville: cats stacked on ledges in 8–15 feet. Best offerings right now: - **For catfish:** - Cut shad, cut mullet, or fresh cut carp on 3/0–5/0 circles. - Prepared stink baits and dough baits, plus those chicken‑liver‑style catfish chunks. - Tight‑line just off bottom on inside bends and below riffles. - **For reds and trout near the mouth:** - 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads with white or glow paddletails. - Gold spoons slow‑rolled along the dropoffs. - Live shrimp under a popping cork if you can get it. - **For sheepshead around structure:** - Small live shrimp or fiddler crabs on light tackle, right up against rocks and pilings. Activity picks: - Early: drifting live or cut bait for cats just as the light comes up. - Mid‑incoming tide: working soft plastics and shrimp rigs around the jetties and surf breaks for reds, trout, and sheepshead. - Late evening: soaking big cut bait for a shot at larger blues and gar. Couple of local hot spots to circle: - **Brownsville area river bends** just upstream of town, especially deep outside turns with submerged timber – classic catfish water. - **Boca Chica / Rio Grande mouth and the nearby jetties** – when the surf is manageable, that mixing zone of fresh and salt can be lights‑out for reds, trout This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Solunar tables from Matagorda forecast prime fishin' times this afternoon 3:30-5:30 PM, with a minor bite mid-mornin'. Tides in nearby Arroyo Puerto Rico show low around noonish at near zero feet, high tide pushin' up to 0.8 feet by evenin'—that movin' water stirs the bottom feeders. Fish activity's steady; recent TPWD all-tackle records from area waters like Medina River nearby log hot catches: largemouth bass up to 10 pounds on rod-n-reel, channel cats at 3-plus pounds, Rio Grande cichlids over a pound, white crappie at 1 pound last fall, and even flatheads pushin' 70 pounds historical. Locals report good numbers of bass, cats, and gar hittin' lately in the Rio Grande stretches. For lures, go with **jigs or soft plastics** in natural shad colors for bass and crappie—mimic them gizzard shad records. Spinnerbaits or crankbaits in chartreuse work the current for cats. Best bait? Fresh shrimp or cut mullet for bottom dwellers, worms for panfish. Trotlines still king for big flatheads.

We’re sitting in classic late-December South Texas conditions. National Weather Service Brownsville has us starting cool in the low 60s at daybreak, warming into the upper 70s this afternoon with light to moderate southeast wind and mostly clear skies. That light SE breeze is perfect for drifting the river edges and the backwater resacas. According to the Brownsville forecast office, no serious fronts pushing through today, so don’t expect a big pressure swing to fire up or shut down the bite. Sunrise over the Valley is right around 7:10 a.m. and sunset just after 5:45 p.m., lining up nicely with the better solunar windows. Solunar tables for the middle Texas coast show a stronger feeding push late morning into early afternoon, with a secondary bump near dusk. Treat those same windows as your go-time on this stretch of the Rio. Tide-wise, we don’t get true coastal tide in the upriver sections, but the coastal gauges at the mouth near Brownsville show a modest high mid‑day and a falling water level late afternoon. That gentle fall tends to pull bait off the flooded edges and set up ambush points on outside bends and inlet mouths along the lower river and connected resacas. Recent word from local anglers and shop talk along the Valley is pretty consistent: - **White bass** and **largemouth** are nipping along current breaks, especially early. Small schools of whites have been pushing shad up onto gravel bars below the deeper bends. - **Blue and channel catfish** have been steady on deeper holes and along riprap near bridge pilings, with a few nicer blues reported after dark. - In the backwater resacas, folks are still picking up **Rio Grande cichlids**, **bluegill**, and the occasional **gar** on small artificials and cut bait. Lure-wise, keep it simple and local: - For bass and white bass, throw **¼‑oz silver or pearl shad spoons**, small chrome Rat‑L‑Traps, and 3‑inch paddle‑tail swimbaits in “opening night” or plain white. Slow-roll them along the drop from the bank into the first channel swing. - For finicky fish, a **1/8‑oz jighead** with a pearl or pumpkinseed grub, dragged just off bottom, has outfished flashier stuff this week. - Catfish are best on **fresh cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait** on simple Carolina or slip‑sink rigs. Anchor upcurrent of a hole, feed a light chum line of soured grain or mash, and give it time. If you’re chasing panfish and cichlids around the resacas, a **small float with a piece of shrimp, red worm, or Berkley Gulp! crappie nibble** will keep the rod bent. Tiny 1/32‑oz marabou or tube jigs in chartreuse/white also play. Couple of hot spots to circle on your mental map: - **Salineño bend and the island just downstream**: classic deep outside bend with good current seams and rock. Work small crankbaits and spoons along the edge for bass and white bass, t This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

National Weather Service Brownsville has us starting cool in the low 60s at daybreak, warming into the upper 70s this afternoon with light to moderate southeast wind and mostly clear skies. That light SE breeze is perfect for drifting the river edges and the backwater resacas. According to the Brownsville forecast office, no serious fronts pushing through today, so don’t expect a big pressure swing to fire up or shut down the bite. Sunrise over the Valley is right around 7:10 a.m. and sunset just after 5:45 p.m., lining up nicely with the better solunar windows. Solunar tables for the middle Texas coast show a stronger feeding push late morning into early afternoon, with a secondary bump near dusk. Treat those same windows as your go-time on this stretch of the Rio. Tide-wise, we don’t get true coastal tide in the upriver sections, but the coastal gauges at the mouth near Brownsville show a modest high mid‑day and a falling water level late afternoon. That gentle fall tends to pull bait off the flooded edges and set up ambush points on outside bends and inlet mouths along the lower river and connected resacas. Recent word from local anglers and shop talk along the Valley is pretty consistent: - **White bass** and **largemouth** are nipping along current breaks, especially early. Small schools of whites have been pushing shad up onto gravel bars below the deeper bends. - **Blue and channel catfish** have been steady on deeper holes and along riprap near bridge pilings, with a few nicer blues reported after dark. - In the backwater resacas, folks are still picking up **Rio Grande cichlids**, **bluegill**, and the occasional **gar** on small artificials and cut bait. Lure-wise, keep it simple and local: - For bass and white bass, throw **¼‑oz silver or pearl shad spoons**, small chrome Rat‑L‑Traps, and 3‑inch paddle‑tail swimbaits in “opening night” or plain white. Slow-roll them along the drop from the bank into the first channel swing. - For finicky fish, a **1/8‑oz jighead** with a pearl or pumpkinseed grub, dragged just off bottom, has outfished flashier stuff this week. - Catfish are best on **fresh cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait** on simple Carolina or slip‑sink rigs. Anchor upcurrent of a hole, feed a light chum line of soured grain or mash, and give it time. If you’re chasing panfish and cichlids around the resacas, a **small float with a piece of shrimp, red worm, or Berkley Gulp! crappie nibble** will keep the rod bent. Tiny 1/32‑oz marabou or tube jigs in chartreuse/white also play. Couple of hot spots to circle on your mental map: - **Salineño bend and the island just downstream**: classic deep outside bend with good current seams and rock.

We’re starting the day cool and muggy with light north-northeast wind, mid-60s at first light warming into the 70s and low 80s by afternoon, according to the Brownsville weather office—generally dry, warmer-than-normal conditions with only a slight coastal shower chance. Winds freshen mid-day but lay down toward evening, so it’s a classic early and late bite day. Sun pops up around 7:05 a.m. and ducks out close to 5:40 p.m., giving plenty of low-light windows. Solunar tables show prime feeding late morning through early afternoon, with a minor bump mid-morning—hit that first light through late-morning major and you’re golden. Tide-wise, near the Rio Grande mouth and Boca Chica, it’s a gentle winter swing per NOAA: modest incoming through morning, topping late morning, then easing back afternoon before a softer evening push. That slow rise has trout and reds sliding up ICW spoil banks and South Bay drains. Last couple days, captains out of Port Isabel and South Padre report solid half-day boxes: 15–20 keeper specks, a couple 20–24 inch class, plus 4–8 slot reds, scattered drum and sheepshead off rocks and pilings. River side’s giving blue and channel cats on cut shad and stinkbait around deeper bends west of Rio Grande City. Speckled trout chewing soft plastics in natural colors—paddle-tails and straight tails in opening night, chicken-on-a-chain, new penny on 1/8- to 1/4-ounce jigheads, bounced slow over grass and mud. For reds, gold spoons, shrimp-pattern paddletails, live shrimp under popping cork—money where off-colored ICW meets clearer bay water. Soak bait? Live or fresh-dead shrimp, cut mullet, peeled table shrimp for drum and sheepshead on structure. Hot spots: South Bay and lower Rio Grande flats north of the river mouth—work sand pockets and guts on incoming for reds and flounder in that stained water. ICW edge between Port Isabel and Brownsville Ship Channel junction—drop-offs and bait slicks for morning trout, channel pilings for drum and sheepshead with shrimp. Water’s cool, so slow it down: long pauses, subtle twitches, let that cork sit. Downsize to 15–20 lb fluoro leaders in clear stretches. That’s the word from Artificial Lure on the Rio Grande.

We’ve got a mild late‑fall pattern along the lower river and coastal stretch from Brownsville down to the Rio Grande mouth. National Weather Service Brownsville is calling for cool mornings in the 40s and low 50s, afternoons pushing into the low 60s, light to moderate southeast breeze, and only a slight chance of showers over the Gulf. Winds offshore are running 10–15 knots with 3–4 foot seas per the marine forecast out of Brownsville/Port Isabel, so bay and jetties are the safer bet today. Sunrise is right around 7 AM with sunset a little after 5:40 PM on this stretch of the Texas coast. That lines up nicely with the solunar tables from SolunarForecast, which rate today as an “average to good” day with a **minor feeding window mid‑morning around 9–10 AM** and another in the evening about 9–10 PM, and **major activity mid‑afternoon about 3–5 PM**. Plan to be on your best water as that afternoon tide turns and starts moving. Tide-wise, South Padre and the Rio Grande mouth are seeing a typical winter swing: a weak predawn low, building to a decent late‑morning to early‑afternoon high, then easing off through evening according to NOAA tide predictions for this coast. Moving water will be key; slack tide has been shutting the bite down fast. Recent action: local guides out of Port Isabel and Boca Chica have been picking up **slot redfish and a few overs** on the shallow flats and along the ICW edges, with **speckled trout** tighter to deeper guts and drop‑offs. Captain-style reports say limits of schoolie trout have been coming on soft plastics bounced slow near the bottom, with the better reds cruising shin‑deep mud and scattered grass. Up the river proper, closer to Rio Grande City, anglers working eddies and deeper bends have been putting catfish and freshwater drum in the cooler on cut shad and stinkbait. Best lures right now in the lower river and bay: - **Soft plastic paddletails** in new penny, pumpkinseed, or opening‑night on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads. - **Slow‑sinking twitch baits** in bone or silver/black for cleaner, slightly deeper water. - On the freshwater stretches, small **chartreuse or white curly‑tail grubs** and natural‑colored crankbaits are fooling drum and the odd bass. Best bait: - For reds and drum: **live or fresh‑dead shrimp**, and small chunks of mullet or cut whiting. - For cats upriver: **cut shad, cut carp, and punch bait** fished on the bottom in deeper bends. A couple of local hot spots to hit: - **Boca Chica jetties and the nearby surf pockets**: work the channel edges on the falling tide with soft plastics and live shrimp under popping corks for reds, trout, and the occasional snook tight to structure. - **Lower Laguna Madre flats just north of the Rio Grande mouth**: drift the knee‑deep mud/grass mix, fan‑casting paddletails; when you find mullet flipping and off‑color streaks, stick the Power‑Pole and work it slow.

Down here on the border the river’s sliding into a solid winter pattern. According to the National Weather Service out of Brownsville, mornings are starting cool in the low 50s, climbing into the low 70s by afternoon with light north to northeast wind and clear skies. That high, bluebird sky means you’ll want to plan around the low‑light windows. Sunrise is right around 7:10 a.m. and sunset about 5:40 p.m. Your best shot is that first hour of light and the last hour before dark, with a bonus push whenever the river generation or local wind gives you a little stain and current. FishingReminder’s Roma–Los Saenz solunar tables show stronger activity mid‑morning and again late afternoon, so don’t bail early. Recent action on the lower Rio Grande has been classic winter mix. Local anglers and a few South Texas fishing podcasts are reporting steady numbers of channel and blue catfish in the deeper bends, decent runs of carp and rough fish for the bow guys, and scattered largemouth and Rio Grande cichlid in the back eddies. Numbers, not trophies, have been the story: catfish in the 1–4 lb range, occasional 8–10 lb blue, bass mostly 1–2 lb with a rare kicker, and plenty of drum and carp to keep a rod bent. Best baits right now: - For cats: fresh cut shad, shrimp, and punch bait on a simple Carolina rig. - For bass: live minnows or small perch tight to laydowns and rock. - For carp and drum: canned corn or dough balls on light tackle. Since my name’s Artificial Lure, let’s talk hardware. The river’s running a bit clearer in stretches, so go natural: - For bass and cichlids: 1/8 oz green pumpkin or watermelon red finesse jigs, 3" stick worms on a Texas rig, and small white or chartreuse grub swimbaits. - For cats: 1–2 oz slip sinker rigs with circle hooks; if you insist on plastic, a scented soft bait or catfish dip‑worm will still get bit. - For multispecies fun: small inline spinners and beetle‑spins will pick up bass, cichlid, and the odd gar. Two hot spots to circle: - The Roma–Los Saenz stretch: work the outside bends where the river scours out 10–20 ft holes, especially just downstream of rock and concrete riprap. Deep cats during the day, bass and cichlids sliding shallow on the riprap at dusk. - Below the Anzalduas/mission area diversion and low‑head dams: any tailrace pocket with mixing current. Drift cut bait just off bottom for blues and channels; toss small crankbaits and 1/4 oz jigheads for schooling bass and white bass when they’re pushing shad. Pattern tips: - Midday, slow way down: drag bait or soft plastics barely ticking bottom. - As shadows lengthen, move shallow and throw moving baits across current seams. - After a windy afternoon that muddies one bank, fish that dirty edge; predators will pin bait right on the color line.

We’ve got a classic winter pattern on the Lower Coast: light southeast breeze this morning building to 10–15 knots by afternoon, with temps climbing into the upper 70s to low 80s according to the Brownsville NWS office. Skies are mostly clear and stable, so the bite’s lining up around the moving water and low‑light windows. Sunrise on this stretch of coast is right around 7:10 a.m., with sunset near 5:45 p.m. That first hour after sunup and the last hour before dark are your prime times, especially for trout and redfish prowling the edges. NOAA tide predictions for the lower coast near the Rio Grande show a modest morning low followed by a slow, afternoon rise. Nothing dramatic, but enough current to turn fish on when it starts pushing. Plan to be set up on a drain, point, or channel edge when you first see that water creeping back in. Fish activity the last few days has been solid for winter: - **Speckled trout**: Good numbers of 15–20 inch schoolies with an occasional bigger fish coming out of deeper guts and channels. Local reports out of the Port Isabel/Boca Chica side have limits coming early for folks wading with artificials. - **Redfish**: Mixed slots and a few oversized working the sand/grass transitions and shallow mud flats where that sun can warm things up. - **Black drum and sheepshead**: Stacked around rocks and bridge pilings; great option if the wind gets up. Best producers right now: - **Lures**: - 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads with 3–4" paddle tails in opening night, pearl/chartreuse, or anything with a dark back and light belly. - MirrOlure MirrOdines and Catch 5s over knee‑ to waist‑deep grass for trout. - Gold spoons and weedless swimbaits for redfish cruising skinny water. - **Bait**: - Live shrimp under a popping cork is still king for numbers. - Cut mullet or fresh dead shrimp on the bottom for drum and reds along channel edges. Couple of hot spots if you’re heading out today: - **Boca Chica Flats / South Jetty area**: Work the inside edges of the channel on the incoming tide for trout, then slide shallow onto the flats when the sun gets higher for reds tailing on the warmer mud. - **Lower Rio Grande near the mouth and main river bends**: In the river itself, look for deeper outside bends and eddies holding catfish and drum on cut bait, with occasional bass and gar. On the coastal side, any small drains dumping into the bay on the rising tide can be loaded with slot reds. Tactics: Start the morning wading with artificials, covering water. As the sun climbs and wind lays a chop on the water, switch to corks with shrimp along drop‑offs and drains. When that late‑day tide really starts creeping in, go back to paddletails and suspending baits and fish methodically. That’s your on‑the‑water rundown from Artificial Lure.

We’ve got a classic humid Valley pattern this morning: light southeast breeze, muggy, temps pushing through the 70s and headed for the low 80s this afternoon under mostly cloudy skies, according to the National Weather Service Brownsville office. Winds will freshen out of the SE later, which will kick up a little chop on the bays but help the bite on windblown shorelines. Sunrise hit right around 7:05 a.m., with sunset near 5:40 p.m., so the sweet spots today are that first two-hour window after sun-up and the last two before dark. With the new-moon phase just behind us, tides in the Lower Laguna Madre are running relatively moderate: a low mid‑morning, then a rising tide through early afternoon and a soft high toward evening per NOAA tide predictions for the South Texas coast. That incoming water should spark some good movement in the guts and around spoil islands. Fish activity’s been solid all week. Local reports out of the Rio Grande Valley say redfish have been schooling tight on shallow flats from Port Isabel up toward Arroyo City, with a lot of slot reds and a few oversize brutes mixed in. Trout catches have been a little spottier but steady at first light over knee‑to‑thigh‑deep sand pockets with scattered grass. Folks drifting the channels have found some keeper specks, plus whiting and the odd drum. Recent catches include: - Good numbers of **slot reds** on the east side of the Laguna, especially along windward shorelines and drains. - **Speckled trout** to the low 20‑inch range on soft plastics early and live bait once the sun’s up. - Scattered **black drum** on bait in the deeper holes and along the ICW edges. - In the river itself near Rio Grande City and below Falcon, bank anglers have picked up **blue and channel cats** on cut shad and stinkbait, with the best bite at night and right before dawn. For lures, keep it simple and local: - For reds and trout on the flats, throw **paddle‑tail plastics** in natural or “Texas chicken” colors on 1/8‑oz jigheads, or a gold spoon slow‑rolled over grass. - Topwaters like a **Spook Jr.** or **She Dog** will shine at first light over slick water and sand/grass mix. - Under birds or in off‑colored water, a **Gulp! shrimp** under a popping cork is still hard to beat. Best bait right now: - **Live shrimp** under a popping cork around channel edges, guts, and cuts. - **Finger mullet** or cut mullet for reds along shorelines and drains. - On the freshwater side, **cut shad, chicken liver, and punch bait** for catfish in the Rio Grande holes and eddies. A couple of local hot spots to check: - **South Bay and the Peyton’s Bay area** near Port Isabel: look for reds pushing wakes on the incoming tide, especially along mangrove shorelines and narrow drains. - **The ICW and spoil islands out from Arroyo City**: drift the edges in 4–6 feet with plastics for trout, then slide shallow on the flat This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Weather’s been mild, with highs in the mid to upper 60s and plenty of sunshine across South Texas. It’s a good day to be on the water, not too hot, not too cold, just right for some steady action. Sunrise is around 6:44 AM, and sunset’s coming in at about 6:55 PM, so you’ve got a solid window to work with. Now, the Rio Grande itself is a different beast than the Gulf, but if you’re fishing near the mouth or in the lower stretches, tide matters. For Arroyo, Puerto Rico, which gives us a decent idea of what’s happening in nearby coastal zones, the low tide this morning was around 12:08 PM, and the next high tide is building in tonight. That means midday through late afternoon is prime time for moving water and active fish. If you’re near the Rio Grande mouth, look for that push of water to get redfish, speckled trout, and black drum feeding along the edges and cuts. Out in the Gulf, from Port Mansfield down to the Rio Grande, the marine forecast calls for east winds and generally calm conditions, so it’s a good day to run a little farther out if you’re chasing kingfish, mahi mahi, or flounder. Inshore, redfish and speckled trout are the main targets, with flounder starting to stack up in the deeper holes and channels. Locals have been doing well with light tackle and live bait fishing, but if you’re fishing my way, artificial lures are the ticket. For redfish and trout, a soft plastic jerkbait or a DOA shrimp on a light jig head is money in the grassy flats and along the shorelines. Topwater early and late can be deadly, especially near oyster beds and cuts. If you’re after flounder, slow-sinking jigs or soft plastics worked near the bottom in the deeper channels are producing. For kingfish and other pelagics, trolling with diving plugs or rigged ballyhoo is the way to go. Best bait? Live croaker, shrimp, and mullet are always solid, but if you’re using artificial, stick to natural colors—white, chartreuse, and root beer in stained water, and clear or pearl in clearer conditions. Two hot spots to hit: First, the flats and cuts around the lower Rio Grande mouth, especially where the current is moving. Second, the deeper channels and drop-offs near the jetties and passes, where flounder and drum are staging. Thanks for tuning in, and remember to subscribe for the daily bite.

Right now, the weather’s cool and clear, with a light breeze out of the north. The sun’s up around 7:02 AM and will set about 5:29 PM, so you’ve got a solid daylight window if you’re chasing tailwaters or flats. Tides are running soft this morning. Over at Port Lavaca, the first major fishing window hits around 8:57 AM, with another strong bite around 9:26 PM. Minor windows are early at 3:50 AM and mid-afternoon at 2:55 PM. If you’re fishing near the mouth or the Laguna Madre side, plan around those peaks. Rio Grande itself is low and clear this week. Water temps are hovering in the mid-50s, which means fish are sluggish but willing if you slow it down. Bass are still scattered but holding deep near main river ledges and old creek channels. Most guys are catching them on 1/4 oz jigs with craw trailers and slow-rolled white or chartreuse spinnerbaits. A few are throwing soft plastics like Zoom Super Flukes and Yum Dingers on a 1/8 oz shaky head, and it’s working around bridge pilings and submerged brush. Catfish are active, especially channel cats and some flatheads in the deeper holes. Best bait? Stink bait, chicken liver, and cut shad. Nightcrawlers on a slip sinker rig are catching a lot of keepers near the old railroad trestles and around the deeper bends. If you’re after panfish, sunfish and crappie are stacked up around submerged trees and docks. Small jigs, tiny crankbaits, and live minnows are the ticket. For hot spots, hit the Falcon Lake tailrace early in the morning. That stretch below the dam is producing some nice smallmouth and spotted bass, especially around the rocky points and current seams. Another solid spot is the Rio Grande Village area, where the river bends and deepens. That’s where most of the catfish action is, and you’ll pick up some nice sunfish and even a few white bass on small spoons or inline spinners. Best lures right now: white or silver spoons for white bass, dark-colored jigs and soft plastics for bass, and small inline spinners or hair jigs for panfish. For bait, stick with live minnows, nightcrawlers, and cut bait for catfish. Fish are feeding best during the major solunar periods, so if you can be on the water between 8:57–10:57 AM or 9:26–11:26 PM, you’ll give yourself the best shot.

We’ve got classic early‑December conditions in Deep South Texas. National Weather Service Brownsville is calling it cool and cloudy this morning with temps in the low to mid 50s pushing into the upper 60s to low 70s by afternoon, light north to northeast breeze, and a leftover chill from that recent front. That north wind and cooler water have the fish a little sluggish at daybreak, but they’re waking up with the sun. According to the Brownsville office, first light is right around 7:00 a.m. with sunrise just after, and sunset close to 5:40–5:45 p.m. That gives you a short but productive window: best bite has been the first two hours after sunrise and that last hour before dark, especially on moving water. NOAA’s coastal forecasts for the Lower Texas Coast show moderate tides today, not huge swings but enough current to matter. The stronger push is mid‑morning and again mid‑afternoon; line those up with the solunar majors from solunarforecast‑type tables and you’re looking at late‑morning and late‑day as your prime feed times. On the catch side, reports from local guides out of Brownsville and Port Isabel shops say the Lower Laguna and Rio Grande backwaters have been giving up solid **speckled trout**, school‑size **redfish**, scattered **flounder**, and plenty of **largemouth and white bass** plus **blue and channel cats** upriver. Trout have mostly been keeper‑class 16–20 inches with a few bigger girls in the deeper guts. Reds are running slot, 20–25 inches, working the mud‑shell transitions. Catfish anglers just above the brackish zone have been boxing good numbers of 2–5 pound blues and channels with the odd bigger fish at night on cut shad. Best lures right now: - For trout and reds: • 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads with **paddle‑tail plastics** in morning glory, bone, and pumpkinseed. • Slow‑suspending **twitchbaits** in chrome/black or bone when the wind lays. • Small **gold spoons** slow‑rolled over mud and grass. - For bass and cats upriver: • **Chartreuse crankbaits** and white spinnerbaits for bass on rocky bends. • **Cut shad, shrimp, and nightcrawlers** for catfish on bottom. Live bait is still king for the pickier fish: live **shrimp** under a popping cork in the lower river, **finger mullet** or mud minnows for reds and flounder, and fresh **cut bait** for cats. After the front, downsize hooks and leaders and slow your retrieve; they’re not chasing far. Couple of hotspots to circle: - **Boca Chica and the Rio Grande mouth**: Work the channel edges and sandbars on a moving tide for trout and reds, especially where green water pushes in. - **Shipley Ranch and the deeper bends near Brownsville**: Good mix of bass and cats holding on the outside turns where there’s a little depth and wood. Fish slow, keep your drifts short, and let that water warm a degree or two before you expect fireworks.

We’ve got a cool, gray start this morning along the Brownsville and Boca Chica stretch, with the National Weather Service in Brownsville calling temps in the low to mid‑50s and light north to northeast breeze, clouds hanging around most of the day and only a slight warm‑up this afternoon. Winds are light enough to work the jetties and the river, but keep an eye on any drizzle that pops up. Sunrise is right around 7:00 a.m. and sunset just after 5:40 p.m. down here on the border, so your prime windows are that first hour of light and the last hour before dark. Solunar tables for the mid‑coast this week show stronger major feeding periods in the morning and again after sunset, with shorter minor bursts mid‑day, and that pattern lines up well with what we’re seeing on the Lower Coast. NOAA’s tide predictions for the lower Texas coast today show a predawn low, a solid mid‑morning high, then water easing back out through mid‑afternoon. That incoming push from about two hours before high tide to an hour after has been the sweet spot for bite intensity, especially around the jetties and any current breaks along the river. On the salt side, the Gulf of Mexico Texas Fishing Report podcast this week has reds and specks chewing pretty steady in December, with slot reds stacked on guts along the beachfront and solid trout hanging on deeper edges of the channels. Folks working the Brownsville Ship Channel and mouth of the Rio Grande have been picking up mixed bags: slot reds, a few overs, keeper trout, plus some drum and sheepshead around structure. Numbers aren’t crazy limits for everyone, but steady: three to five good reds and a handful of trout has been common when the tide and wind line up. Best producers right now: - For reds: gold or copper‑colored spoon, 1/4 oz jighead with pumpkinseed or watermelon paddletails, and live shrimp or cut mullet on a Carolina rig. - For trout: pearl and chartreuse soft plastics, slow‑rolled near the bottom, light‑colored jerkbaits, and live shrimp under a popping cork. - For drum and sheepshead around rocks and pilings: dead shrimp and small pieces of crab on light bottom rigs. Up in the freshwater stretch of the Rio Grande near Cameron County, catfish and drum have been the steadiest action. Cut shad, chicken liver, and punch bait around deeper holes and outside bends are putting blue and channel cats in the box, mostly eater‑sized fish with an occasional bigger blue. Rio Grande cichlid and sunfish are still biting worms and tiny jigs in slack pockets when the sun peeks out and warms the edges.

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 08:42:52 -0000 full Inception Point AI Name’s Artificial Lure, checkin’ in with your Lower Rio Grande fishing report down here at the edge of Texas. We’ve got a cool, gray start this morning along the Brownsville and Boca Chica stretch, with the National Weather Service in Brownsville calling temps in the low to mid‑50s and light north to northeast breeze, clouds hanging around most of the day and only a slight warm‑up this afternoon. Winds are light enough to work the jetties and the river, but keep an eye on any drizzle that pops up. Sunrise is right around 7:00 a.m. and sunset just after 5:40 p.m. down here on the border, so your prime windows are that first hour of light and the last hour before dark. Solunar tables for the mid‑coast this week show stronger major feeding periods in the morning and again after sunset, with shorter minor bursts mid‑day, and that pattern lines up well with what we’re seeing on the Lower Coast. NOAA’s tide predictions for the lower Texas coast today show a predawn low, a solid mid‑morning high, then water easing back out through mid‑afternoon. That incoming push from about two hours before high tide to an hour after has been the sweet spot for bite intensity, especially around the jetties and any current breaks along the river. On the salt side, the Gulf of Mexico Texas Fishing Report podcast this week has reds and specks chewing pretty steady in December, with slot reds stacked on guts along the beachfront and solid trout hanging on deeper edges of the channels. Folks working the Brownsville Ship Channel and mouth of the Rio Grande have been picking up mixed bags: slot reds, a few overs, keeper trout, plus some drum and sheepshead around structure. Numbers aren’t crazy limits for everyone, but steady: three to five good reds and a handful of trout has been common when the tide and wind line up. Best producers right now: - For reds: gold or copper‑colored spoon, 1/4 oz jighead with pumpkinseed or watermelon paddletails, and live shrimp or cut mullet on a Carolina rig. - For trout: pearl and chartreuse soft plastics, slow‑rolled near the bottom, light‑colored jerkbaits, and live shrimp under a popping cork. - For drum and sheepshead around rocks and pilings: dead shrimp and small pieces of crab on light bottom rigs. Up in the freshwater stretch of the Rio Grande near Cameron County, catfish and drum have been the steadiest action. Cut shad, chicken liver, and punch bait around deeper holes and outside bends are putting blue and channel cats in the box, mostly eater‑sized fish with an occasional bigger blue. Rio Grande cichlid and sunfish are still biting worms and tiny jigs in slack pockets when the sun peeks out and warms the edges.

Local reports up and down the Lower Laguna and mouth of the river say numbers aren’t crazy, but the folks willing to grind through the wind have been putting solid boxes together on moving water and low-light bites. [3][5] ## Weather and water A cool, drier pattern is hanging over Deep South Texas with seasonable temps in the 70s and a northerly influence behind the latest fronts, so expect a bit of a chill on the early runs and a steady breeze on the flats. [3][6] Skies are generally fair with passing clouds, which has kept the water clarity decent in protected bays but still a little stirred where that wind stacks up against shallow shorelines. [3][15] ## Tide, sun, and fish mood Along the coast from Port Mansfield down to the Rio Grande, tides are running modest, with one stronger push late day that’s been sparking the best redfish and drum activity around drains and guts as water dumps off the flats. [3] Sunrise is around seven local and sunset near five-thirty, so the early wade and last-light drift are lining up neatly with the stronger solunar windows and have been the prime times for better trout. [8] ## What’s biting and how Most recent catches inside the nearby Laguna Madre and passes have been slot reds, keeper trout, and a scatter of flounder, along with the usual sheepshead and mangrove snapper on structure when folks switch to dead shrimp. [5] Trout have favored slow presentations over potholes and edges, while reds have been cruising knee-deep, especially where a little off-color water meets clearer streaks pushed by the wind. [5][15] ## Best lures, baits, and hotspots Plastic paddle tails and soft shads on light jigheads have been the workhorses, with natural colors like pumpkinseed, glow, and bone doing damage; add a little chartreuse tail when the water muddies up. [4][5] For bait, live shrimp, pinfish, and cut mullet are still putting fish in the boat, with dead shrimp taking drum and sheepshead around rocks, pilings, and the ship channel edges.

Let me break down what's happening out on the water right now. **The Bite is HOT** We're seeing fantastic action with speckled trout and redfish absolutely crushing it right now. Reports coming in from local guides show these fish are stacked and hungry, especially reds in the 5 to 10-pound range. Black drum and flounder are also cooperating when conditions line up. **What to Throw** For lures, the Corky is absolutely money in shallow water for sight-casting. Get out there at first light with topwater plugs – that early morning action is prime time. If you're working deeper channels, soft plastics rigged on jigheads are getting bit consistently. Live mullet and live shrimp remain your go-to baits when the fish are as active as they are right now. **Weather and Water Conditions** Today we're looking at mild conditions across the Valley – highs hitting the low 70s. That's perfect timing because we had that cold front push through recently, and the fish are responding well to the shift. Water temps are settling in nicely for winter patterns. **Tidal Windows** Check your tide tables – we've got both high and low tides throughout the day. Plan your trips around those movements; the fish feed more aggressively around tide changes. **Hot Spots to Target** Head to the shallow flats around Port Mansfield area – that's where sight-casting with Corkys has been producing keeper after keeper. The Rio Grande mouth itself continues to hold quality fish, particularly in the back bays where redfish love to hunt. Thanks for tuning in to the report today, amigos.

Artificial Lure here with your Wednesday morning fishing report for the Rio Grande area. Let me tell you what's happening out on the water today. First things first—tides. Down at South Padre Island, we're looking at that low tide already passed us this morning at 5:56 AM, and we've got our high tide coming in at 3:15 PM hitting 1.94 feet. That afternoon push is prime time for shoving bait into the shallows, so mark your calendars. Sunrise was at 6:59 AM this morning, and we'll see sunset at 5:36 PM, giving us a solid window to work with today. Now, about the weather—we've had that arctic front move through, and I gotta tell you, cooler water means active fish. We're looking at mostly cloudy skies here in the valley with temperatures in the low 50s. It's the kind of day where fish are feeding hard during those transition periods around the tide changes. From recent reports, reds and trout have been biting strong here in December. Largemouth bass over on Lake Casa Blanca have been hanging around rocky points and submerged structure with this water temperature drop. If you're chasing specs and reds, this is your sweet spot. For tactics today, throw topwaters early while we've got that sunrise window. As the day progresses and that sun gets higher, drop down to soft plastics and live shrimp. For reds and trout, mullet and live shrimp work phenomenally this time of year. If you're a lure guy like me, bone-colored spoons and chartreuse soft plastics have been producing consistently. Here's where to be: Hit the flats around Firemen's Park in McAllen. Town Lake there's got solid redfish and trout populations, plus they've got tackle and bait if you need to stock up. Remember—catch and release only at that spot. If you can get a boat out to Port Mansfield or toward the Rio Grande itself, the deeper channels are holding fish migrating to warmer winter holes. That's another hot spot worth the drive. The record books show we've had some solid catches in these waters. The channel catfish record stands at over six pounds, and largemouth bass have pushed past nine pounds right here in the Rio Grande area. That tells you what's possible when conditions are right. So get out there today and make the most of this bite while it lasts. Thanks so much for tuning in, and make sure you subscribe for more reports like this one.

Temperatures have settled, and the fish are responding well to the feeding windows around those tide changes. From recent reports out of the Rio Grande and Gulf waters, reds and trout have been biting strong in December. According to local fishing forecasts, the fish are looking for food during those transition periods.

Hit the flats around Firemen's Park in McAllen if you're looking for accessible spots. Town Lake there has solid redfish and trout populations, and they've got tackle and bait available if you need to stock up. Catch and release only at that location, remember that.

Let me tell you what's happening out on the water this Monday morning. We're looking at a decent day to get out there. Sunrise was at 6:59 AM and we've got sunset coming in around 7:51 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours and 52 minutes of daylight. The National Weather Service is forecasting conditions that are drier and warmer than normal through February, so we might be seeing some interesting patterns as we head into winter. Now, here's the thing about today – we're in that waxing gibbous moon phase at about 95 percent, and that's actually working in our favor. The solunars show we've got a minor bite window from 5:44 AM to 6:44 AM and again from 6:27 PM to 7:27 PM. If you're serious about putting fish in the boat, plan your trip around those times. For tactics, the redfish and speckled trout are our bread and butter down here in the Rio Grande. Light tackle fishing with live bait is going to be your ticket – mullet and shrimp are working solid right now. If you want to throw artificials, bottom fishing with soft plastics near structure is producing. We're also seeing good activity with topwater lures early in the morning and late afternoon when the light gets low. Hit the flats near the delta areas where the Bebederas and Rio Abangeres meet. Those wetland habitats concentrate fish like nobody's business, especially as we transition into the dry season. Another solid spot is anywhere you find good current breaks – the tidal movements are pushing baitfish around and the predators know it. Get out there and make it happen.

We're heading into late November and the bite is still active out here along the border waters. Let me start with the conditions. We've got sunrise happening around 6:52 AM and sunset at 6:28 PM, so you've got a solid window to get out on the water. The solunar forecast is showing us some decent bite windows today with major times early morning and evening – that's when you want to be out there. Water temperatures are sitting around 65-67 degrees depending on your specific spot, which means the fish are still fairly active but not as aggressive as they were back in October. The water's got a slight stain to it, which actually works in our favor for the Rio Grande area. Now for what's been biting recently. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife records, largemouth bass up to 9.75 pounds have been caught in these waters, and white bass around 4 pounds are definitely possible. You're going to want to throw soft plastic minnow-styled baits in that juice box color – they're working incredibly well right now. Crappie are biting on minnows if you hit the right structure, and catfish are always a solid option on cut shad or live baitfish. For tactics, focus on 13-28 feet of water where you can find deeper structure. Bladed jigs and crankbaits are producing, especially early in the morning before that midday sun gets too high. Hit the area near the confluence where the Rio Grande meets any tributary channels – that's where the fish are staging right now. Also work the deeper holes and channel ledges where the current creates natural fish-holding zones. Get out there and tight lines, folks!

The tide's running a bit quirky this morning—we've got a low at 5:04 AM holding at 1.1 feet, then a high at 9:45 AM around 1.27 feet. Not your typical dramatic swing, but it'll push some baitfish around, and that's what we're after. Now, I gotta be straight with you—the National Weather Service is flying a HIGH RISK flag for rip currents through at least tomorrow, so if you're working the coastal access points, watch yourself out there. Those currents'll ruin your day faster than a backlash in your reel. **What's Been Biting** Falcon Lake up near Laredo continues to produce quality bass and catfish. The Lady Bird Lake records show some serious specimens coming out lately—we're talking a 14-pound largemouth that came out just this February. That tells me the genetics are strong down here, and you've got genuine trophy potential if you're patient. **What to Use** For structure work around the Rio Grande flats, throw soft plastics and swimbaits in 3 to 4-inch sizes. The catfish are going to respond to live or cut mullet if you're bottom-fishing. Up around Falcon Lake, go with standard Texas rigging—dark colors work best in these tannin-stained waters. **Hot Spots** Falcon Lake's your primary target today. The deeper holes near the dam are holding catfish and bigger bass. Down along the Rio Grande's slower sections, work the outside bends where current's carved out deeper pockets.

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 08:33:24 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI # Rio Grande Fishing Report - Saturday, November 29th Well folks, it's your man Artificial Lure coming at you with today's Rio Grande report, and let me tell you, conditions are shaping up interesting down here in the Valley. **Today's Conditions** We're looking at sunrise at 6:57 AM and sunset at 5:36 PM, giving us a solid nine-hour window to work with. The tide's running a bit quirky this morning—we've got a low at 5:04 AM holding at 1.1 feet, then a high at 9:45 AM around 1.27 feet. Not your typical dramatic swing, but it'll push some baitfish around, and that's what we're after. Now, I gotta be straight with you—the National Weather Service is flying a HIGH RISK flag for rip currents through at least tomorrow, so if you're working the coastal access points, watch yourself out there. Those currents'll ruin your day faster than a backlash in your reel. **What's Been Biting** Falcon Lake up near Laredo continues to produce quality bass and catfish. The Lady Bird Lake records show some serious specimens coming out lately—we're talking a 14-pound largemouth that came out just this February. That tells me the genetics are strong down here, and you've got genuine trophy potential if you're patient. **What to Use** For structure work around the Rio Grande flats, throw soft plastics and swimbaits in 3 to 4-inch sizes. The catfish are going to respond to live or cut mullet if you're bottom-fishing. Up around Falcon Lake, go with standard Texas rigging—dark colors work best in these tannin-stained waters. **Hot Spots** Falcon Lake's your primary target today. The deeper holes near the dam are holding catfish and bigger bass. Down along the Rio Grande's slower sections, work the outside bends where current's carved out deeper pockets.

Let's dive into what's happening on the water today. **Conditions and Weather** We're looking at southeast winds around 10 knots this afternoon with light chop building on the bay. There's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms this morning, transitioning to afternoon activity. Water temps are holding steady in the low 70s—perfect for our target species. High tide came in early this morning, and we've got another push coming late afternoon, so plan your tide changes accordingly. **What's Biting** The redfish are absolutely fired up along the jetties and beachfront right now. We're seeing solid bull reds cruising the first gut, especially with mullet runs active. Speckled trout are holding over the grass flats in skinny water, and flounder are staging near the channel cuts before their migration wraps up. Spanish mackerel and snook are also in the mix around tight structure. Recent reports show anglers pulling 30-plus fish in four-hour trips, with five different species landed. The action's been consistent, which tells me the bite window is wide open today. **Best Tactics** Match the mullet run with finger-mullet profile lures and keep them moving. For topwater enthusiasts, first light is prime time—throw poppers at dawn for trout, then switch to soft plastics or live shrimp under a popping cork as the sun climbs. For reds, soak cut mullet or cast gold spoons. Bounce Gulp or live mud minnows for flounder. **Hot Spots** Head to the jetties at Brownsville for reds, or work the Laguna Madre grass flats for trout. Rio Grande harbor entrances are always productive as fish move in and out with the tides. Thanks for tuning in to the Rio Grande Valley fishing report! Make sure to subscribe for daily updates.

Artificial Lure here with your Thursday morning fishing report for the Rio Grande Valley. Let me tell you what's shakin' down here in South Padre Island territory. First off, Mother Nature's got us in an interesting pattern right now. We're looking at sunrise at 6:55 AM and sunset at 5:36 PM today, giving us a solid nine and a half hours of daylight to work with. The tides are shifting nicely too—we've got a low tide rolling in around 12:54 PM and a high tide pushing through at 10:05 PM. That late evening bite could be money if you can stick around. Now here's the thing about today—we've got some weather concerns brewing. There's rain in the forecast and some decent wind coming through, so bring your rain gear and pick your spots wisely. The water temperature is sitting in the mid-70s, which means the fish are still active but getting ready to shift into their winter patterns. As for what's been biting recently around these parts, the redfish and speckled trout have been the bread and butter for locals. White bass have been phenomenal before the cold front according to folks fishing the bigger lakes, and that action translates out here too. Catfish remain consistent on cut shad and live bait, especially around drop-offs and channel bends. For your tackle box, bring spinnerbaits in chartreuse and white if you're chasing the shallows. Small white slabs work great for sand bass near those drop-offs in 12 to 15 feet of water. Texas-rigged worms and swimbaits are solid for largemouth, and don't sleep on paddle tail swimbaits in white and chartreuse. If you're targeting catfish, cut shad and blue gill will get you connected. A couple hot spots to check out: Work the main lake points and sandbars where baitfish are schooling. Early morning and late evening topwater near structure is prime real estate right now. Thanks for tuning in, folks! Make sure you subscribe for daily reports.

We’ve just crested into late fall and that South Texas salt-sweet mash-up is delivering variety for anglers willing to work the tides and time their casts for the bite windows. First up, **sunrise came in at 6:54 a.m.** with sunset slated for 5:39 p.m., so you’ve got a fat slice of daylight to work the water. According to the National Weather Service in Brownsville, we’re waking up to mild, overcast skies, temps rising to the mid-80s by afternoon and a soft southeast breeze at 8 to 12 mph. That means decent water clarity in the bay and river channels, but plan for a touch of chop on the main stem of the Rio Grande and around the jetties. **Tides today show a high just after midnight topping out around 1.6 feet. The drop to a shallow low around 2 p.m. (roughly 0.1 feet) will have fish concentrated in deeper runs, cuts, and those first-drop shorelines, especially by late morning and through the outgoing tide midafternoon.** According to Fishing Reminder, the best feeding windows bracket sunrise (6:25–8:25 a.m.) and again near dusk (6:42–8:42 p.m.), so plan to work those edges. **Recent catches have been strong for late November:** - In the Rio Grande proper, local rods—channel cats, blue cats, and flatheads are hitting fresh-cut shad or chicken liver, especially around brush piles and deeper bends. Folks have been pulling in channels in the 3–6 lb range and blues pushing double digits at dawn. - Upriver flats and backwaters are holding **Rio Grande cichlids** on small nightcrawler pieces or red wigglers under a float. These little bulldogs have been steady, with a few topping a pound, plenty for some panfish action for you and the kids. - On the brackish fringes and south to the Laguna Madre, **redfish and speckled trout** are active. Reports from the mouth near Boca Chica and over by Port Isabel have folks landing slot reds on gold spoons and soft plastics, while **trout up to 20 inches** are crushing topwaters and live shrimp at first light over potholes and grass flats. - **Flounder** are staging near drops and channels—bounce a white Gulp! swimming mullet on a ¼ oz jig, or drag live mud minnows along edges for a shot at that November door mat. - A few **Spanish mackerel** and snook have been sighted cruising rock structure and bridge pilings, especially on moving tides. **Bait and lure picks:** - For cats, fresh-cut shad stays king. - For reds: gold or copper spoons, finger-mullet–profile soft plastics, and topwaters just after sunrise. - Speckled trout: chrome/blue topwaters at dawn, then switch to soft plastics in bone or shrimp colors—work ‘em with a twitch and pause. - Flounder: Gulp! swimming mullet in white or pink, or live mud minnows on a Carolina rig. - For cichlids and sunfish: small worms or chartreuse crappie jigs. - Don’t overlook live shrimp under a popping cork for that This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It’s been a warm late November day on the border, feeling more like summer than Thanksgiving week—a trend thanks to a high-pressure ridge, with temperatures flirting with the upper 80s and even low 90s, and those gusty southeast winds keeping the water moving according to the National Weather Service out of Brownsville. Winds today are holding steady at 10 to 15 knots from the southeast, fewer clouds, and no rain in sight. Sunrise came up at 6:53 AM, and we’ll see sunset around 5:39 PM this evening. Early risers had decent light just before seven, and that first hour delivered for the waders and boaters who hit it hard before the wind picked up. Tidal swing is modest but significant: South Padre and Port Isabel saw a high around 1.25 feet just before dawn, dropping near 0.7 feet by midday and rebounding to about 1.15 feet closer to dusk, based on NOAA and local tide tables. That incoming late afternoon tide should keep fish on the move across flats and near cuts, so don’t pack it in too early. Fish activity is lively despite this drought-strained year. Lower Laguna Madre and main channels near Boca Chica and the Highway 48 bridge have given up respectable catches since the weekend. Reports from South Padre guides and locals—folks like Captain Gilbert Vela—say redfish are still cruising the potholes and grass lines, with slot and over-slot fish mixed in. We’re seeing schools busting mullet near the east spoils on outgoing water, and tails showing up if you’re stealthy. Speckled trout are holding to the drop-offs and edges, especially where flats meet deeper guts. Early mornings, folks throwing topwaters—bone or chrome Super Spooks and Skitter Walks—have landed quality specks up to 27 inches. Mid-morning, soft plastics like dark Texas-rigged worms and paddle tail shads in natural patterns are producing; Bass Assassin sea shad and Down South Lures in chicken-on-a-chain remain reliable. Live bait is still king for numbers—finger mullet and live shrimp under popping corks are getting thumped, especially along the north end of the Brownsville Ship Channel and at the mouth of the Arroyo Colorado where deeper holes hold mixed bags: flounder, drum, and even some snook lurking the structure. Folks dragging mullet along rocky banks and sandy drop-offs are hauling in keeper flounder with regularity, and Spanish mackerel are showing sporadically near jetties and piers, especially when bait schools push close. Reports from charter captains over the past week mention plenty of limits on speckled trout and redfish, plus a spike in flounder catches as they stage for their seasonal run. There’s talk of a few snook surprises for adventurous anglers pitching plastics tight to mangroves at sunrise. Hot spots to check out: the spoil islands just west of South Padre for topwater trout and cruising reds, plus the drop-offs along Holly Beach’s edge for a mixed This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise today hit at about 6:53 AM and sunset’s forecast for 5:37 PM, giving you a classic late-fall fishing window. The overnight cold snap has water temps cool but stable, with the forecast showing light winds and mostly clear skies, a real treat for this time of year—expect a brisk breeze in the morning that will taper off as the day rolls on per marineweather.net. The barometer’s steady, which usually spells consistent fish activity throughout the bays, with the outgoing morning tide peaking fish feeding. Tidal tables from KRGV say the early morning saw a low tide around 5:01 AM, rolling into a high just after 10 AM, and another low at 4:55 PM. That midday incoming tide is money for working structure and creek mouths both along Boca Chica Bay and the Brownsville Ship Channel. Fish are holding in moving water pockets, especially where the bait is stacking up. Reports coming in from local guides via Captain Experiences and Today We Fish Charters say this weekend’s catches were solid, especially for those targeting **redfish** and **speckled trout**. Anglers have been seeing heavy action in deeper potholes as the fronts move through, with best success coming early and late. There’s also been a flounder or two sliding into the counts on the channel edges, staging for that late autumn move. Top local techniques right now are light tackle and live bait drifting along the Laguna Madre’s grass flats, and pitching soft plastic paddle tails or shrimp imitations on 1/8 oz jigheads. Reds are crushing gold spoons and twitch baits, especially anywhere mullet schools are getting pushed shallow. According to Fishingreminder.com, matching the mullet run with finger-mullet profile lures and keeping them moving is your best bet—slow down your retrieve and let it sit for a moment after a bump to trigger hits from curious trout and reds. Live shrimp under a popping cork has ruled the catch counts for folks just outside the Arroyo Colorado and at Port Isabel Turning Basin. For bait soakers, cut mullet or fresh shad around the channel markers will tempt both reds and the occasional black drum. Wade anglers working The Hole and Stover Cove are reporting solid action at first light, especially where the water’s been moving a little quicker. Some larger trout are coming from the drop-offs by South Bay, with anglers reporting most bites on smaller mirror lures or white chartreuse plastics. If you’re after flounder, target eddies and outflow points with mud minnows or Gulp! swimming mullet—they’re hugging bottom and biting best on the turn of the tide. As for hot spots: - **South Bay flats** are producing steady numbers, with bonus shots at snook around tight structure. - **Boca Chica Beach** and the jetty edges remain prime for bull reds and trout, especially on live bait during ambush feeding windows.

Well folks, it's shaping up to be a classic late fall day on the border. We're looking at water temperatures holding steady in the mid-60s, and that means the fish are still feeding strong. The tide's working in our favor today with high tide hitting around mid-morning, so get out there early and make the most of it. Now, here's what's been happening on the water. We've had some solid striped bass and sand bass activity lately. The word from local guides is that sand bass are getting ready to spawn, so they're aggressive right now. Target them in 12 to 15 feet of water near drop-offs with smaller imitation shad slabs fished right off the bottom. If the water's stained—which it has been—throw white slabs and you'll do better. We're seeing bass in the 3 to 4-pound range consistently. The Rio Grande and Falcon Lake are your prime spots. Falcon Lake's famous for big bass and catfish, and that's where you want to focus your efforts this time of year. The Rio Grande's producing too, but conditions have been challenging with low water levels. For your tackle box, bring crankbaits, topwater lures, and those shad slabs I mentioned. If you're targeting catfish, cut shad and perch still work, though they've been slow lately. Crawfish and small baitfish are what these fish are keying on naturally. Sunrise is around 6:45 this morning, sunset around 5:15 this evening, so you've got a solid window to work with. Thanks for tuning in, folks! Make sure you subscribe for your daily reports.

Sunrise hit at 6:52 a.m., with sunset coming up around 5:46 p.m. today according to Tide-Forecast, giving you a solid window for making the most of the bite. We kicked off the morning with a brisk breeze rolling off the water. Skies started off crystal clear but expect some afternoon cloud cover moving in. Temperatures are comfortable, sitting right in the low-70s, and humidity is down, so it’s one of those rare days where you can fish hard and not break a sweat. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast for the lower Laguna Madre near Brownsville, we’re under “drier and warmer than normal” fall conditions that should keep fish active throughout the day. The tidal swing this morning showed a low tide right around 8:40 a.m., with the high sneaking back in just after lunchtime, so plan your wade fishing and shallow boat runs accordingly. Those incoming tides can really light up the bite, especially around the river mouth and feeder creeks according to the local tide predictions from NOAA. The Rio Grande’s brackish stretches are still giving up a mixed bag, but the real story this week is redfish and black drum moving in tight to the grass lines and ledges – the TPWD’s saltwater reports say the drum are thick and hitting well on dead shrimp, while the reds are smashing cut mullet and fresh table shrimp. If you’re hungry for a trout, your best bet is the stretch around Boca Chica to Brownsville Ship Channel, working 2-3 foot oyster with live shrimp under a popping cork or a soft plastic—Captain Sally Black says to match those soft plastics to local mullet colors for best results. Freshwater flows are down, so the catfish bite’s better in deeper channel holes and around submerged timber on cut bait. Crappie are holding steady in 10-15 feet with jigs and minnows, especially up river near brush and tree limbs. Bass are still decent early on buzzbaits and flukes, but as soon as that sun climbs up, you’ll want to slow it down with Texas rigs or watermelon creature baits along docks and gentle drop-offs. Folks are reporting steady action with smaller reds, slots, and a handful of over-sized drum—nothing crazy on the flounder front but you still might luck into one around old bridge pilings with a glo or chartreuse soft bait. Captain Experiences highlights that the tried-and-true light tackle and live bait approaches are connecting, but don’t discount slow-rolled artificials—especially when wind ruffles the surface. Bait shops in town have reported brisk sales of fresh dead shrimp, cut mullet, and paddle tail soft plastics in root beer, electric chicken, and chartreuse—the colors to throw when water gets muddy with that northerly wind. If you’re floating live bait, don’t sleep on finger mullet or mud minnows in your spread.

Skies are mostly clear, and a soft south wind is keeping the water moving. Sunrise hit just after 6:54 AM, with sunset rolling in early at 5:35 PM, giving us those prime hours to chase some big pulls before supper. The tide’s on a subtle rise this morning, peaking mid-morning, tapering to slack water after lunch and then easing out by sundown. This means your best action is early—daybreak to late morning—when bait gets lively in the grass lines and deeper river cuts. This week’s reports on the water are all about mixed bags. There’s been steady action on redfish, with limits common near spoil banks and the mouths of the side channels. A few solid slot reds—twenty to twenty-six inches—rolled in using Gulp! shrimp and white paddle tails fished slow along the muddy edges. Speckled trout have been popping in the shallower flats, right where that sun’s been warming the water by mid-morning. Soft plastics in chartreuse or glow, rigged under popping corks, have been a local go-to, but don’t count out the trusty live shrimp if you can get ‘em fresh in Brownsville or down at Gordon’s Bait and Tackle. Over by the old pipeline cut and at Boca Chica flats, anglers working the drop-offs on a moving tide are picking up flounder—some up to 18 inches—on finger mullet and white curly tails. If you want numbers, hit the deeper channel edges near the jetties for sheepshead; a piece of fresh-dead shrimp on a small hook will fill a stringer quick. The backwater brush near San Martin Lake has been holding good numbers of channel cats. Folks are getting them on cut shad and stink bait rolled close to submerged logs. Bluegill and small Rio Grande cichlid are thick around sunken trees on worms and crickets. For those hunting big fish, the all-tackle records published by Texas Parks and Wildlife remind us there are some monsters around. Channel cats push into the high twenties in pounds, and Rio Grande cichlid up to a pound are routine—so bring your heavier tackle if you want a shot at bragging rights. Best artificial lures this week are 1/8-ounce jigheads paired with chartreuse or new penny soft baits, white or silver spoons for covering water in the open, and topwater plugs for early risers looking to trigger a blowup at dawn. Top hot spots: - The spoil islands just upriver from Boca Chica, where reds and drum move through on a rising tide. - The swing bridge at Los Indios, which draws bait and predator fish alike with good current.

We’re starting out the week with classic South Texas fall weather—expect thin high clouds and unseasonably warm temps pushing into the low 90s by midafternoon, as reported by KRGV News. Winds are light early but should freshen up by midday, so start early if you can. Sunrise hit at 6:51 AM sharp, and sunset is rolling in about 5:37 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to cast a line. The tidal swing’s on the mellow side today near the Lower Laguna Madre and South Padre channel—expect the low tide around 8:09 AM and a high tide at 6:05 PM, based on Tide-Forecast.com. For best success, work the incoming tide this evening, especially in bays and around the jetties. That moving water has really been turning on the bite this week. Fish activity is definitely heating up. According to the Rio Grande Fishing Forecast from Spreaker, recent days have produced strong catches of speckled trout and redfish, with slot reds especially thick around the flats. Folks wading mud/shell and drifting with live shrimp under popping corks are pulling in solid numbers, and the outgoing tide has provided some good flurries for those working soft plastics along grass edges. Don’t sleep on channel and blue catfish in the deeper holes along the river bends and guts. Local reports mention several keeper catfish being caught on cut shad and stink bait—slack water pockets are producing the best, especially early morning before things heat up. Black drum and sheepshead have shown up at structure—bridge pilings and deep dock cuts are the ticket. Best baits have been fresh dead shrimp and fiddler crabs fished tight to pilings. There’s also been some action on fat black drum up to 5 pounds. Top artificial lures this week have been: - 3-4 inch paddle tail swimbaits in chartreuse and root beer, slow-rolled along the channel drop-offs. - Gulp! shrimp and curly tails on 1/8 or 1/4 ounce jigheads—shrimp and new penny colors are go-tos. - Gold spoons have lured a few nice reds from potholes on the incoming tide. Live shrimp is still the hottest bait across the board—under a popping cork for trout, free-lined for reds, and just off bottom for drum and sheepshead. Cut mullet and shad are working well for bigger reds and those river catfish. A few hot spots worth mentioning: - Boca Chica Flats: Trout and reds are working the shallows on early high tide. - Arroyo Colorado mouth: The confluence with the Laguna Madre has produced reliable numbers of speckled trout at first light. - The second spoil island south of Holly Beach: Multiple reports of limits on reds drifting with Gulp! shrimp. Word on the sandbars is that O.C. Fisher Lake is at just over 15% full, so most anglers are focusing on river and bay action right now. That’s the scoop for today, folks.

Artificial Lure here, and I’ve got the lowdown for you on today’s bite. We’re lookin’ at a warm start with temps already pushin’ into the 90s, just like yesterday, and the morning fog’s burnin’ off quick. The sun came up at 6:40 AM and’ll set tonight at 6:12 PM, so you’ve got plenty of daylight to work with. Tides are playin’ a big role today. The low tide hit at 8:47 PM last night, and we’re headin’ into a high tide around 2:21 PM this afternoon. The water’s movin’, and that’s when the fish get active, especially redfish and speckled trout. The marine forecast for the Rio Grande area calls for SE winds at 10-15 knots, so keep an eye on the chop and adjust your casting accordingly. Fish activity’s been steady. Just last week, anglers were limitin’ out on trout and pickin’ up redfish, with a few flounder mixed in. The best reports are comin’ from the flats near Boca Chica and the jetties at South Padre. The water’s clear, and the fish are hungry. If you’re after trout, light tackle and artificial lures are workin’ wonders—try a soft plastic jerkbait or a topwater popper. For redfish, live bait like shrimp or a cut mullet on the bottom’s your best bet. And don’t forget the occasional flounder; they’re takin’ a slow, steady retrieve with a soft plastic. The Guadalupe River’s been hot for catfish, with flatheads and blues showin’ up on trotlines and drop lines. If you’re headin’ inland, bring a heavy rod and some stink bait. The alligator gar are still around too, so if you’re into bowfishing, the early morning low tide’s your best shot. Hot spots? The jetties at South Padre are always a solid choice, and the flats near Boca Chica are producin’. If you’re feelin’ adventurous, try the upper reaches of the Rio Grande for catfish and gar.

Let’s get you ready for a great day on and around the border. First up, the **sun’s rising at 6:51 AM and setting at 5:37 PM**, giving you plenty of daylight to work that bite. We’ve got **breezy, warm weather continuing; highs in the low 80s with steady Southeast winds**—typical for mid-November down here, just enough breeze for a good surface chop that’s got things moving according to KRGV’s most recent update. **Tidal detail is key for you saltwater folks near Boca Chica and South Padre:** NOAA’s forecast calls for a **low tide at 6:15 AM and the next high tide rolling in at 2:21 PM, peaking around 1.85 feet**. That ebb-and-flow around midday is prime for pushing bait and stirring up reds and trout, so plan accordingly. The best bite windows today run from early morning through the afternoon changeover—don’t sleep late! **Fish activity’s been strong** as reported by local guides and trip logs at Captain Experiences: Inshore hauls keep showing solid numbers of **redfish, speckled trout, and flounder**, with redfish up in skinny water on the outgoing tide. They’re chasing mullet and mud minnows along the grass edges and sand pockets, especially at The Flats east of Port Isabel and around Holly Beach—both real hot spots this week. If you want numbers, anglers have been **stacking limits on slot redfish (16–23 inches) and keeper specks**, with a few oversized reds and a handful of flounder in the mix—flatties up to 20 inches, a couple even larger. Don’t forget, November’s transition is also bringing **a few ambitious snook into the lower river mouth**, and near the rocks at the jetties you might tangle into oversized sheepshead and occasional black drum. **Best baits and lures:** For artificials, nothing’s beating **quarter-ounce jigheads rigged with chartreuse paddle tail swimbaits** right now. Gulp! shrimp in new penny or white, especially on the incoming tide, mimic what they’re after and get hard strikes. When it comes to hardware, gold spoons and topwater plugs like the Spook Jr. are drawing early morning blow-ups. Live shrimp and finger mullet are still king for those who prefer bait—free-line ’em or under a popping cork. If you’re headed upriver for freshwater action, the Rio Grande’s been steady for channel and blue catfish using cut shad and fresh cut baits, especially near deeper outside bends. The Texas Parks and Wildlife all-tackle records show recent common carp and Rio Grande cichlid catches for you panfish hunters willing to work the slower eddies and brush piles. Try worms or small pieces of cut bait under a slip float. A couple more **hot spots** to pencil in: **South Bay near the Highway 4 bridge** is still firing for slot reds at dawn and dusk, and don’t overlook the **old causeway pilings off Port Isabel** for mixed drum and trout all through the moving water.

The weather today in Rio Grande begins mild with a sunrise at 6:45 AM and sunset coming around 5:40 PM. Winds are light from the south, averaging around 10 knots. Skies are partly cloudy, making for pleasant time on the water. Water levels remain steady, with the tides near South Padre Island showing a low at 5:50 AM and a high at 12:52 PM, which should bring a good push of bait into the river mouths and estuaries around midday. Angler activity is picking up as we slide deeper into fall. Recent outings yielded solid action on **red drum**, speckled trout, and flounder. Near the river itself and in brackish marshy spots, folks are still catching **Rio Grande cichlid**, plenty of **bluegill**, and even the occasional chunky largemouth bass. According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife records, some big longnose gar, fat carp, and healthy white bass have also shown up this fall. The best bite comes right with that incoming tide around noon. Early mornings before the wind picks up are producing the most, especially with the moon beginning to wax, bringing stronger tidal flows and feeding windows. Look for major fish activity from about 8:40 to 10:40 AM and again in the afternoon at peak tide. As far as tackle goes, local favorites this week are: - **Soft plastic paddle tails in pumpkinseed, chartreuse, and motor oil** - **Small topwater poppers** and walk-the-dog style lures for trout in the mornings - **Live shrimp** on a popping cork for specks and reds along grassy drop-offs near the mouth - **Cut mullet** and **dead shrimp** for flounder and drum on the bottom - In freshwater stretches, **Worms** and **crickets** are scoring bluegill and cichlid, while a classic **squarebill crankbait** gets those bass and hybrids fired up Creek Life Lure Co. reviews rave about their ultralight inline hooks and micro crankbaits for finicky fall bluegill and cichlid—perfect for packing light and working tight cover. Locals confirm these finesse presentations are landing more bites where heavier gear spooks fish. **Hot spots to check today:** - The Boca Chica Flats for reds and trout, especially near the channel edges on a rising tide. - Just upriver from the main boat ramp at the Rio Grande, target longnose gar and carp on cut bait, or toss a big jerkbait for late-season bass. - Behind the levee ponds and marsh cuts for flounder staging up, using cut bait or soft plastics bounced tight to structure. Catfish are moving deeper but channel cats are still biting well on dough bait and chicken liver in shady bends of the river, as recommended by local Texas Elite Anglers. Forecasts show the afternoon will warm up into the high 70s, so bring sunscreen and don’t forget bug spray for those windless stretches! As always, respect the tides and stay safe on the shifting sandbars. Thanks for tuning in to your Rio Grande fishing report.

Water levels remain steady, with the tides near South Padre Island showing a low at 5:50 AM and a high at 12:52 PM, which should bring a good push of bait into the river mouths and estuaries around midday. Angler activity is picking up as we slide deeper into fall. Recent outings yielded solid action on **red drum**, speckled trout, and flounder. Near the river itself and in brackish marshy spots, folks are still catching **Rio Grande cichlid**, plenty of **bluegill**, and even the occasional chunky largemouth bass. According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife records, some big longnose gar, fat carp, and healthy white bass have also shown up this fall. The best bite comes right with that incoming tide around noon. Early mornings before the wind picks up are producing the most, especially with the moon beginning to wax, bringing stronger tidal flows and feeding windows. Look for major fish activity from about 8:40 to 10:40 AM and again in the afternoon at peak tide. As far as tackle goes, local favorites this week are: - **Soft plastic paddle tails in pumpkinseed, chartreuse, and motor oil** - **Small topwater poppers** and walk-the-dog style lures for trout in the mornings - **Live shrimp** on a popping cork for specks and reds along grassy drop-offs near the mouth - **Cut mullet** and **dead shrimp** for flounder and drum on the bottom - In freshwater stretches, **Worms** and **crickets** are scoring bluegill and cichlid, while a classic **squarebill crankbait** gets those bass and hybrids fired up Creek Life Lure Co. reviews rave about their ultralight inline hooks and micro crankbaits for finicky fall bluegill and cichlid—perfect for packing light and working tight cover. Locals confirm these finesse presentations are landing more bites where heavier gear spooks fish. **Hot spots to check today:** - The Boca Chica Flats for reds and trout, especially near the channel edges on a rising tide. - Just upriver from the main boat ramp at the Rio Grande, target longnose gar and carp on cut bait, or toss a big jerkbait for late-season bass. - Behind the levee ponds and marsh cuts for flounder staging up, using cut bait or soft plastics bounced tight to structure. Catfish are moving deeper but channel cats are still biting well on dough bait and chicken liver in shady bends of the river, as recommended by local Texas Elite Anglers. Forecasts show the afternoon will warm up into the high 70s, so bring sunscreen and don’t forget bug spray for those windless stretches! As always, respect the tides and stay safe on the shifting sandbars. Thanks for tuning in to your Rio Grande fishing report.

Let’s start off with **weather and tides**. The National Weather Service in Corpus Christi says we’re waking up to mild November warmth, highs nudging into the low 90s and overnight lows holding in the 70s. The marine forecast for the stretch from Port Mansfield down to the Rio Grande River calls for soft southern winds right around 5 knots this morning, shifting southeast later today, and 2–3 foot seas—easy going, but that bit of humidity means storms could pop up later, so keep an eye on the horizon. Tidal predictions have high tide hitting midafternoon, around 3:30 p.m., and a low just before sunrise, so plan those flats walks or kayak launches accordingly. Sunrise just rolled in at 6:54 a.m., and sunset will light up the water at 5:48 p.m., giving you a solid window for prime-time bites. **Recent catches and water conditions:** According to TPWD records, folks fishing the Rio Grande proper and adjacent lower Laguna Madre have reported a mixed bag lately—fall’s transition means a real buffet. Reds have been pushing shrimp up into the cuts, and the cooler weather’s bringing in solid numbers of slot reds and some bruiser trout, especially early and late. Channel edges and the shallow grass have put out flounder, and the occasional drum is lurking deeper near the drop-offs and bridge pilings. Just this week, a few local guides noted limits of specks in the 16–20" range, with several redfish pushing 27", most falling for paddle tails in new penny or chicken-on-a-chain. Drum are running smaller, mainly slot keepers, but black drum up to 20" have shown near the mouths of resacas and deeper holes with current. Flounder catches are up but mostly unders, so make sure to check those sizes. On the river side, catfish and gar anglers are still pulling blues and channels—cut shad and shrimp are getting it done, especially at night. For Rio Grande cichlid fanatics, a few big ones over a pound have come in on live worms near submerged brush according to Texas Parks & Wildlife’s all-tackle records. **Bait and lure pick:** The bite’s been best on live shrimp under popping corks and soft plastics bounced slow. Gulp! swimming mullet, 3” paddle tails in dark colors, and topwaters like Skitter Walks for that early blow-up have all scored. Folks wading the grassflats should stay stealthy—downsized jigheads and fluorocarbon leaders help in these clear, late-fall waters. **Hot Spots today:** - The Brownsville Ship Channel, especially the edges near the jetties, for a chance at a mix of redfish and flounder. - Boca Chica flats and spoil islands should be productive on the incoming tide for specks and slot reds. - On the freshwater side, head up along the Arroyo Colorado’s deeper bends for catfish after dark, or near the confluenc This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We had ourselves another mild Texas morning, with sunrise at 6:54 AM and sunset coming up around 5:45 PM according to Tide-Forecast. The cool fronts held off, so we’re still getting those warm, muggy breezes out of the southeast, hovering around 71° at sunrise and creeping up into the upper 70s by midafternoon. Water temps along the Rio and out toward Boca Chica and South Bay should be hanging in the upper 60s to low 70s, which keeps the bite active. Today’s tide report from NOAA shows a high tide hitting before dawn, slowly dropping to a low just after midday—prime time to ambush fish moving off the flats into deeper cuts and channels. With that falling tide, fish have been staged up and eager, especially where bait gets funneled out. Let’s talk action. Over the past few days, both locals and winter Texans have reported strong numbers of redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead around the Brownsville Ship Channel and jetties near Boca Chica. Redfish have been running thick, especially with the mullet schools pushing along the edges of the flats. Folks on the Arroyo have also picked up solid black drum and occasional snook, mainly during the early-morning bite when the water has a little chill. Best baits this week? San Benito’s own Freddie Perez says the go-to for reds and drum has been live or fresh-dead shrimp around drop-offs, plus chunked cut mullet if you’re sitting tight and patient. For trout and smaller slot reds, nothing beats a soft plastic in natural shad or new penny on an eighth-ounce jighead—DownSouth Lures Supermodels in “Big Poppa Pearl” and Texas Custom Lure Double D in “Bay Mistress” have been doing work, especially when you twitch them just off the bottom. A few old-timers are still throwing topwaters like Skitter Walks right at sunrise with good results around shallow grass. Don’t skip the jetties and the old causeway this week—sheepshead and mangrove snapper are stacked up around the pilings and structure, picking apart live shrimp and fiddler crabs. If you’re in the mood for something different, hit an evening outgoing tide for a chance at snook, especially working the mouth of the ship channel with slow-rolled big paddle tails or suspending twitch baits. Now, let’s talk hot spots. First, the Brownsville Ship Channel is firing—work the east side from dawn until about mid-morning for reds and drum, especially where deeper water borders the shallow flat. South Bay, just inside Boca Chica, is also heating up—drift the west grass edge on a falling tide for hungry trout and flurries of keeper reds. And don’t forget the Arroyo Colorado, where catfish and bluegill action remains steady for anyone looking to fish with kids—large cut baits and punch baits in the bends have brought in some big blues, especially near Harlingen.

Sunrise hit at 6:47 a.m., and we’re headed for sunset around 5:49 p.m. The morning started cool and breezy with temps in the low 70s, and we’re expecting the weather to hold steady most of today. That little bite in the air is getting fish on the move, especially since a cold front pushed through early this week, dropping water temps just a hair – perfect for fall action according to KRGV First Warn Weather. Tidal movement is moderate today, with NOAA and regional forecasts calling for a low tide late morning around 11:58 a.m., and a slower-moving rising tide through the afternoon. That means the best window for chasing game fish is from sunrise through late morning, and again as the tide fills after lunch. Let’s talk fish. The lower Rio Grande is lighting up with action, especially for largemouth bass and channel cats. Fishers at Town Lake at Fireman's Park in McAllen have been reporting solid bluegill and sunfish catches on worms and small crappie jigs, with some anglers pulling channel cats up to 6 pounds on cut bait this week. Out east toward the lagoons near Arroyo Colorado, white bass and Rio Grande cichlids are feeding well on live minnows and curly tail grubs. Check Texas Parks and Wildlife private records, and you’ll see some impressive catches from our neck of the woods lately: hybrid and largemouth bass on Clouser minnows, redear and bluegill sunfish on Black Goober Bugs, and those ever-elusive Rio Grande cichlids on crawfish briminators. Fresh reports from local anglers say the cichlids are especially active at the rocky bends near Tres Marias and over by the river islands north of Los Ebanos, where slow presentations near structure are key. Top baits and lures right now: for bass, go with medium-diving crankbaits in shad or bluegill patterns, or try a slow-rolled spinnerbait during the first light. Live nightcrawlers and cut shad are producing for catfish. If you're after panfish, use 1/16 oz. jigheads tipped with red worms or chartreuse plastics. For the fly crowd, a crawfish pattern or small Clouser minnow is turning heads from cichlid to sunfish. Hot spots for November? I’d set up at: - The Hidalgo Pumphouse oxbow, where submerged timber’s stacked with sunfish and cichlids. - The sweep below Anzalduas Dam – always promising for big cats and the occasional drum. - And don’t overlook the shallow flats at Town Lake at Firemen’s Park in McAllen if you want guaranteed panfish for the kids. Bite tends to slow mid-afternoon, so plan your outings around the tidal swing and early morning cool. Remember to move frequently – the bite’s best for anglers who aren’t afraid to switch tactics and cover new ground, just like the top local guides recommend.

We kicked off the week with a strong cold front pushing through the Valley yesterday, leaving us with refreshing temps in the upper 60s to low 70s this morning, and it’ll probably hold steady most of the day, according to the KRGV First Warn 5 Weather team. The wind’s lingering out of the north at about 12 to 16 mph, which might mean a little chop on the river and flats, so bring your favorite wind-cutting hat. Skies are mostly clear, so don’t forget your sunscreen. Sunrise came in at 6:53 AM and sunset’s at 5:44 PM. That gives us a solid day’s worth of fishing, but if you’re trying to time the bite, early morning and late afternoon are best with this moon phase. As for the tides, we had a low early this morning around 5:15 AM, with the next high peaking just before noon and rolling back to a moderate low this evening. Tidal swings are modest, but bait movement has been pretty good in the inlets and along the banks. Recent fishing action has been heating up along the Rio Grande and the nearby Arroyo Colorado, especially with the water temps dropping. Folks are reporting solid numbers of channel catfish, blue catfish, as well as plenty of sunfish, including some hefty bluegill and Rio Grande cichlid. Texas Parks and Wildlife record books show channel cats caught here around the 6-pound mark, and it’s a great time for big ones with cooler water settling the fish down and stacking them up in deeper holes and along submerged brush. Down in the resacas and quiet backwaters, bass bite has picked up, especially for largemouth. Some fish in the 3- to 5-pound range are being reported. Crappie have started showing up in better numbers near structure, with minnows out-producing jigs lately. The edges of Granger Lake, reported 96.9% full as of November 9th, are loaded with baitfish and seeing increased activity in the afternoons, though it’s a bit north of our main zone. For bait and tackle, live shrimp and cut shad are king for the cats right now. If you’re after bass, throw a white spinnerbait or a silver and black jerkbait like a Megabass Vision 110. Locals are swearing by green pumpkin or black/blue soft plastics worked slow on the bottom. For sunfish and cichlids, you can’t beat red worms or small jigs under a slip bobber. If you like artificials, try a little black and chartreuse Beetle Spin or a Ned rig by rock piles and submerged timber. Best hotspots for the day: Check out the area just south of the Donna International Bridge—there’s deep structure there, and the channel cats are stacked up. Another good stretch is the Old Hidalgo Pumphouse; early risers have been hooking into both bass and big bluegill on small crankbaits and live bait. No matter where you go, water clarity is pretty decent after the northern winds, and with these nice cool temps, fish are more willing to roam and feed.

Out on the banks and boat ramps near Rio Grande City to Brownsville, anglers are kicking off the day under clear skies, with temps climbing fast—yesterday and today, the Rio Grande Valley has been locked into an early-November heat wave, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s, according to KRGV’s weather team. Winds are light out of the southeast, which is making for slick water in the morning and an easy drift for those fishing both the river and the lower local resacas. Sunrise came at 6:47 AM and sunset will fall at 5:44 PM today, giving us a solid window for extended action, especially early and late when the heat is less intense and the bite gets fired up. Tidal movement isn’t a hard driver this far upriver, but if you’re venturing toward the Laguna or tidal-influenced portions, Sabine Pass North’s NOAA station clocked the low tide around midnight and a solid high tide expected this evening, so bay anglers should watch for peaking currents near dusk. Fish activity is robust this weekend thanks to the lingering summer warmth and stable conditions. River levels are healthy and clear. Water clarity is decent in the mainstream and off-channel cuts—perfect for targeting mixed bag action. Lately, the catch reports have included lots of **Blue catfish** and **Channel catfish** from the deeper river bends and brush piles, with several fish in the 3-8 pound range landed this week. The stretch near Falcon Lake and the Zapata boat ramp have been especially productive for catfish overnight with both cut shad and stink bait leading the way. **Largemouth bass** are still active, particularly on rocky points and submerged brush—Texas Parks and Wildlife records show regular catches of quality largemouth up to 4 pounds in this stretch. Early-morning topwater bites are hot, especially on chartreuse buzzbaits and walking-style plugs, then shifting to Texas-rigged plastics (try watermelon red or junebug colors) and medium-diving crankbaits as the sun gets up. For fly anglers and ultralight spinners, the **Rio Grande cichlid** (locally called “perch”) are plentiful in shallow cover and hitting beetle spins, small poppers, and pink grubs. Live bait—fresh shad, nightcrawlers, and shrimp—are top choices for numbers, while those chasing bigger cats and the occasional alligator gar should consider switching to cut carp or tilapia. Artificial lures are producing, too. Locals recommend gold and black Rapala-style jerkbaits and dark soft plastics on a slow retrieve. Captain Experiences reports that light tackle fishing with artificials is extremely popular here lately, especially around Falcon Lake’s brush lines. Hot spots today include: - **The pump station cut near Roma:** consistent catfish and bass, easy bank access. - **Below the spillway at Falcon Lake:** always worth a shot for cats, stripers, and an occasional This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Hot spots today include: - **The pump station cut near Roma:** consistent catfish and bass, easy bank access. - **Below the spillway at Falcon Lake:** always worth a shot for cats, stripers, and an occasional This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 230 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6961344912 Artificial Lure here, coming at you from the Lower Rio Grande Valley on this fine Saturday, November 8th. The wind’s light, the air has that fall chill, and anglers around Rio Grande, from Brownsville to the Laguna Madre, are hitting the water early to chase the November bite. Let’s kick it off with the **weather**. According to the National Weather Service, we’ve got cooler-than-average temps in the morning—low 60s at sunrise, warming to mid-70s by late afternoon. Winds are light out of the north at 6–10 knots, so it’s prime for both bay and shoreline action. Skies are mostly clear, with that sweet Gulf sunlight making for comfortable fishing all day. Sunrise was at 6:43am and sunset will wrap up at 5:41pm. Tidal movement is key here. Tide-Forecast.com shows we’re in a low-to-high swing. Low tide hit around noon, with a push toward a strong high tide at 10:41pm tonight. The best fish movement is right on those tide turns, so work your casts through late morning and again at dusk to get the most bites. **Fish activity’s** been building as that water cools. Mullet are still cruising in schools along the beachfront and inlets, which means **bull redfish** are stacked up at jetties and deeper guts. Folks wading the Laguna Madre grass flats near Port Isabel report solid numbers of **speckled trout**—most in the 17–22 inch slot, with a handful of hefty ones pushing 25. **Flounder** are staging close to cuts and channels, readying for their run offshore as the month rolls on. Word on the docks is Spanish mackerel are blitzing bait at the South Padre jetties and a few surprise snook have come out of tight structure behind docks and pilings. For recent catches, Captain Experiences reviews from this week mention half-day trips boating easy double-digit counts of slot reds and specks. Early morning waders found the trout hot on soft plastics, and one crew landed half a dozen nice flounder bouncing Gulp shrimp near the Causeway. A few bull reds—up to 38 inches—were hauled in after sunset at the Boca Chica jetties soaking cut mullet. Now, what’s working best? For lures, stay matchy with the mullet run—finger-mullet profile soft plastics in silver or white, rigged on an 1/8-ounce jighead for the flats. Topwaters like the Super Spook Jr. are calling up those sunrise trout. For reds, classic gold spoons and live or cut mullet are the ticket. Flounder hunters should stick to Gulp swimming mullet or live mud minnows, slow-bounced along channel edges and drop-offs. Under lights at night, small paddle-tail plastics or live shrimp under a popping cork draw in trout and the occasional snook. Looking for **hot spots**? Try these: - **South padre jetties:** Redfish, flounder, and Spanish mackerel are thick in the moving water and eddies. - **Laguna Madre grass flats** just north of Port Isabel, especially between the spoil islands—trout are schooling at first light. - **Brazos Santiago Pass**: Both jetty and surfside action for reds and flounder, particularly aro This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We woke up to a sunrise at about 6:43 AM, with sunset coming around 5:41 PM – plenty of daylight to wet a line. According to KRGV Weather, we’re looking at **very warm and sunny conditions with highs in the 80s** – that’s classic November down here, just enough breeze to keep it pleasant without blowing your hat away. As for the **tide report**, if you’re heading toward the lower Laguna Madre, the *closest tide predictions* come from South Padre Island. This morning’s low tide bottomed out around 8:57 AM, with a nice steady rise toward a solid high late in the evening. That means the best bite today sits mid-morning and right before dusk, as the water moves and bait gets pushed into shallows—ideal for hungry reds and specks according to data from Tide-Forecast.com. **Fish activity’s been lively this week.** The flats have seen good movement, especially with redfish schooling near drop-offs and tailing on the edges at first light. In Falcon Reservoir, recent catches include solid **largemouth bass**—nothing breaking Tommy Law’s all-time 15.63-pound record, but a couple of seven- and eight-pounders have shown up for dedicated anglers. **Blue cats** are still the heavyweights here, with locals talking about a nice 60-pounder caught just last month according to Texas Parks and Wildlife records updates. The lower river and resaca waters have seen heavier **white bass** and hybrid **blue tilapia** in addition to their usual share of feisty sunfish and Rio Grande cichlids – smaller, but a blast on light tackle for the kids or fly fishing purists. If you’re planning your tackle box, here’s what’s getting results: - **Live or cut mullet** are tops for the big reds in off-channel pools and at the river mouth. - **Gulp! shrimp on a popping cork** works wonders for both specks and slot reds in grassy shallows. - If you prefer artificials, stick to **quarter-ounce gold spoons** or a **soft paddle tail in new penny or white**—these have been killer as the water temp holds in the upper 70s and baitfish are plentiful. - For bass in Falcon, nothing beats a **watermelon red soft plastic craw** or a **black-and-blue flipping jig** tight to rocky structure and submerged brush. Looking for action? Try these **hot spots**: - **El Jardín Beach jetty** at sun-up—great for a redfish run before the beachgoers crowd in. - The **mouth of Arroyo Colorado**—reliably productive for trout and occasionally flounder, especially around the last part of the falling tide. - **Falcon Lake rocky points** and submerged creek channels—steady reports of fat black bass and occasional monster blue cat.

We’re waking up to a brisk South Texas morning after that late-night cold front rolled through the Valley. According to the National Weather Service Brownsville office, you can expect temps starting in the mid-50s and warming up around midday, with partly sunny skies and north winds 5 to 10 mph. Sunrise hit right at 6:47 AM today and we’re looking at sunset around 5:47 PM. The chill in the air should stick around, and there's a chance for a little light rain into the evening, especially north of the border. That front’s got the fish on the move. On the tides, tide-forecast.com reports low tide at 6:34 AM and high tide peaking at 2:11 PM for the Port Isabel/South Padre area, which translates well to our Rio Grande and Boca Chica surf. Plan your fishing windows for that incoming tide, which should have activity picking up late morning through early afternoon. Fish activity in the lower Rio Grande this week has been lively. Those fresh north winds and dropping temps have kicked up the bite. Folks are bringing in solid numbers of **redfish**, with plenty of slot-sized fish around spoil banks and cut channels. **Speckled trout** reports are improving, especially along mud and grass flats on the east side and into the Boca Chica jetties. The white bass run has tapered off, but there’s still good catfish action, especially channel cats using cut shad and shrimp upriver near Falcon Dam. Flounder are moving, as you’d expect this time of year, and limits have been coming in for waders tossing white Gulp! swimming mullets and live finger mullet along sandy pockets and drains. Early morning and late before sunset are “can’t-miss” times with the change in light and temperature driving the flatties in. In the surf and jetties, surfcaptain.com has the morning surf at just over 1 foot and glassy, with WSW winds barely moving—good for pitching plugs and even the fly rod crowd. The water clarity’s solid, especially after that front, so scale down leader size if you’re fishing light tackle. On the lure front, it’s a moving-bait kind of week with the current and cooling water. Bring out those **MirrOlures (52MR and MirrODine XL), soft plastics on 1/8 oz jigheads (matrix shad in opening night and white), and topwaters (Super Spook Jr. and Skitter Walks)** early. For bait, you can’t beat **live shrimp** for trout and redfish, and finger mullet or fresh cut-bait for the big drum and flounder. Hot spots to hit right now: - **Boca Chica Jetties**: Outgoing tide’s pushing in predator fish, especially reds and some oversize drum. The rocks are slick, so watch your step! - **Salinity mixing zone at the river mouth**: Look for birds working and toss swimbaits or spoons for trout and the odd snook.

Local anglers, grab your coffee and tune in—here’s your river rundown. Sunrise hit Rio Grande Valley around 6:48 AM, with sunset coming at 5:46 PM. Cooler mornings have settled in, and as of today, the weather’s shaping up mostly clear and mild, with gentle south winds near 10 knots by midday, as reported in the marine forecast for waters from Port Mansfield to the Rio Grande River. That persistent south breeze should help push some baitfish up, making the main river channels and deeper cuts especially active right after sunrise and near dusk. Today’s tidal schedule (from the closest local coastal prediction via Arroyo) shows a low tide in the early morning, followed by a higher tide near midday—so fish those moving water windows for best results. Slightly higher tides are stirring things up, which is prime action for local inshore species. Fish activity’s been up during these cool, moonlit autumn nights. With the moon near full and the nights getting brighter, FishingReminder.com says predator fish like largemouth bass are actively feeding after dark as well as early. Recent catches confirm the bite: folks are netting Guadalupe bass, blue and channel catfish, and the ever-feisty Rio Grande cichlid. The Texas Parks and Wildlife All-Tackle Records list a big flathead catfish caught just last season at over 30 pounds, so there are still monsters lurking deep. Top catches in recent days: - Guadalupe bass, 1–2 lbs, mostly on crankbaits and smaller plastics. - Channel catfish, up to 4 pounds on cut shad and chicken livers. - Freshwater drum running two to three pounds, best on worms and jigs. - Rio Grande cichlid, mostly on redworms and small beetle spins. For bait and tackle, the clear favorite right now is natural—cut shad, shrimp, and chicken liver are pulling cats and drum consistently. For lures, local wisdom and Major League Fishing recommendations say go bold: black and blue flipping jigs, white/chartreuse spinnerbaits, and soft-plastic craws in watermelon red are all producing, especially in slack water near structure and weed beds. Add a subtle topwater popper at dawn if you’re targeting bass right at first light. Want the hot spots? Your best bets today: - The deep hole near Town Lake at Firemen’s Park in McAllen, where fishing pole rentals and bait are available. Recent word has largemouth bass stacking up near submerged timber there. - The north channel bend just outside Rio Grande City for consistent catfish bites, especially on fresh-cut bait during incoming tide. - The old weir near Las Palomas, a sneaky zone for sunfish and Rio Grande cichlid, with good numbers showing on flyrod and micro-jigs. Fish are biting shallow by late afternoon, moving toward the banks to chase baitfish on the rising tide. If you’re off work late, get ready for some night action—full moon means bass and gar will cruise in open water after sundown.

Sunrise came at 7:49 AM, with sunset ahead at 6:50 PM. Weather’s giving us classic early November in the Valley—humidity steady, southeast breeze around 8 knots, highs flirting with 82°F and cooling off near 64°F tonight. You’ll want a light windbreaker at dawn, but it'll feel great out there. According to National Weather Service online, water’s stable and the Lower Rio Grande and neighboring bays are mostly calm, with only mild chop for skiffs and jon boats. Today’s tidal swing is subtle. Early morning’s outgoing tide shifts to incoming by the afternoon, meaning those feeding windows line right up with the solunar majors—7:48–9:48 AM and 8:13–10:13 PM. Hottest bite periods will be just after sunup and later tonight. Focus anywhere bait is moving with that flow: creek mouths and river edges, submerged grass beds, and especially in confluences. Recent catches have kept up the Valley’s reputation for mixed bag action. Reviews on Captain Experiences this weekend showed boats pulling solid redfish and speckled trout from the Brownsville Ship Channel, Arroyo Colorado, and Boca Chica. Jetties dropped out a few flounder, including some two-pounders. Local panfish and cat anglers at Town Lake in McAllen landed a mess of channel cats, drum, and even a stubborn gar. October and early November always mean stronger catfish and crappie reports building up, with two groups bragging Sunday about “personal bests” north of 6 lbs. Best baits this week: live shrimp and cut mullet are king for surf and bay; for lures, it’s all about bone or chartreuse Super Spook Juniors at first light for trout and reds. As the sun gets high, Gulp! shrimp under a popping cork is still the top producer, especially in stained water after wind kicks up. Flounder chasers should slow-roll curly-tail plastics—chartreuse with a tip of Fishbites or Gulp—right over sandy pockets and edges where current meets slack. Traditionalists? Drop fresh-cut shad or live finger mullet near deeper holes and bridge supports for blue cats or freshwater drum, especially when the sun starts warming things up. Local hot spots to hit right now: - The Arroyo Colorado and Rio Grande confluence is holding fish at the structure—work deep holes and current breaks. - Boca Chica’s bay side exploded this week with schooling redfish—watch for tails at high slack tide and check those nearshore guts for flounder staging for offshore runs. - For a laidback gig, Town Lake at Firemen’s Park in McAllen is seeing steady crappie and bluegill hits—north bank is best, and it’s family-friendly with plenty of room for the kiddos.

We kicked off this Monday with a warm south Texas start: sunrise at 7:49 AM, sunset at 6:50 PM. Weather’s classic fall Valley—light breeze out of the southeast, highs tickling 82°F, dipping to a mild 64°F tonight. Humidity’s holding steady, which means you’ll want a hat and to keep your tackle dry. According to the National Weather Service, water conditions are stable with only a slight chop on the Lower Rio Grande and bays—perfect for both boat and bank anglers. Tidal report for the Lower Coast has only a small swing today. Early morning brings a mild outgoing tide, shifting to incoming by late afternoon. That means prime feeding windows for redfish and trout along submerged grass and incoming flows near creek mouths and river confluences. Majors today: 7:48–9:48 AM and 8:13–10:13 PM. Plan your casts tight to those windows for best action. Recent catches have kept up that Valley variety. According to Captain Experiences’ reviews, guides pulling out of the Brownsville Ship Channel, Arroyo Colorado, and Boca Chica have reported consistent redfish, speckled trout, and some fat flounder showing up near jetties and drop-offs all weekend. Weekend party boats and bank fishers up at Town Lake in McAllen have landed channel cats, drum, and a few surprise gar, with several groups bragging about hauling in their personal bests. October and early November always serve up mixed bags here. Live shrimp and cut mullet have been top baits—a staple this time of year. For lures, locals and guides are throwing the tried-and-true: - Bone or chartreuse Super Spook Jrs. at first and last light for trout and reds. - Gulp! Shrimp under popping corks are still producing bites when the sun gets high. - For seeking flounder, tip a chartreuse curly-tail soft plastic with a bit of fishbites or gulp, slow-roll it over sandy pockets at the edge of current. If you’re itching to go old school, try fresh-cut shad or live finger mullet near the deeper bends and bridge pilings—you might lock into a heavy blue cat or drum. For hot spots: - The confluence of the Arroyo Colorado and Rio Grande is holding fish—work the edges and deeper holes, especially near structure. - Boca Chica's bay side is on fire this week, with redfish schooling up—look for tails at high slack tide, and don’t overlook those nearshore guts where the flounder are stacking up on their way offshore. - For those who prefer the calmer pace, Town Lake at Firemen’s Park in McAllen is stocked and sees decent crappie and bluegill action this week—bring the kids, grab some nightcrawlers, and soak a line on the north bank.

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 08:45:40 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here, bringing you your November 3, 2025, Rio Grande, Texas, fishing report—local style and straight to the point. We kicked off this Monday with a warm south Texas start: sunrise at 7:49 AM, sunset at 6:50 PM. Weather’s classic fall Valley—light breeze out of the southeast, highs tickling 82°F, dipping to a mild 64°F tonight. Humidity’s holding steady, which means you’ll want a hat and to keep your tackle dry. According to the National Weather Service, water conditions are stable with only a slight chop on the Lower Rio Grande and bays—perfect for both boat and bank anglers. Tidal report for the Lower Coast has only a small swing today. Early morning brings a mild outgoing tide, shifting to incoming by late afternoon. That means prime feeding windows for redfish and trout along submerged grass and incoming flows near creek mouths and river confluences. Majors today: 7:48–9:48 AM and 8:13–10:13 PM. Plan your casts tight to those windows for best action. Recent catches have kept up that Valley variety. According to Captain Experiences’ reviews, guides pulling out of the Brownsville Ship Channel, Arroyo Colorado, and Boca Chica have reported consistent redfish, speckled trout, and some fat flounder showing up near jetties and drop-offs all weekend.

This morning brought a **sunrise at 6:43 AM** with clear skies early and pleasant temps right around the mid-70s, but keep an eye out—local weather from KRGV is hinting at a chance for late afternoon thunderstorms with highs climbing into the low 80s. If you’re planning to wade or boat the Laguna Madre or Arroyo Colorado, plan to be off the water before the storms roll in. Tides are on the move today: we’re seeing an **early morning low around 4:30 AM** and the **next high tide just after 5:40 PM**, based on patterns for the arroyo and coastal Texan waters from Tide-Forecast.com. Your best window for bites is right at first light and again late afternoon as the water moves. Anglers have been cashing in all week. **Bull redfish** are thick along the jetties and river mouths—local surf casters are tossing gold spoons or live mullet, and doing well soaking cut mullet, especially right after a north front. In the flats and lagoons, **speckled trout** are chasing bait over the grass, with topwaters and soft plastics getting strikes early. Fish on clear, shallow potholes just after sunrise. As the sun climbs, switch to live shrimp under a popping cork. **Flounder** are staging near channel edges and creek mouths in anticipation of their fall run; Gulp swimming mullets on a jighead, or live mud minnows bounced along the bottom, are the ticket. Recent catches show the diversity of this area: redfish up to 29", slot specks, and a mess of flounder, with some reports of Spanish mackerel and the odd snook lurking in tight structure around pilings and rocks. Over in the freshwater stretch of the Rio Grande itself, record book reminders from Texas Parks and Wildlife highlight **Guadalupe bass**, **largemouth**, rough fish like **carp and buffalo**, plus solid **channel cats** on stinkbait and cut shad. **Best lures and baits:** - For reds: **gold spoons, cut mullet, finger-mullet–profile soft plastics**. - For trout: **bone or chartreuse topwaters at first light**; later, switch to **soft plastic paddletails or live shrimp**. - For flounder: **white Gulp swimming mullets, live mud minnows**. - For catfish and carp: **fresh cut bait, stinkbait, corn, and dough balls** do the trick in the river. **Hot spots this weekend:** - **South Bay and Boca Chica jetties** are red-hot for reds and mackerel, especially with the mullet run in full swing. - The **Laguna Atascosa flats** are producing quality speckled trout at dawn. - Freshwater warriors should hit the **San Juan Bend** for cats and the **Mission area shoreline** for sunfish and bass. The fall bite is in full swing, so make sure you’re matching bait profiles to the local forage—think mullet, shrimp, and mud minnows. Morning and evening are your go-to bite windows, especially with tides peaking late.

We started the morning cool and calm, with sunrise at 7:40 a.m. and the mercury rising from the high 50s into the mid-60s. Expect light northeast winds, perfect for drift fishing and those topwater walks just after sun-up. With a first quarter moon in play, tides out of South Padre show the high coming in just after midnight and a long, dropping tide right through late afternoon. Major bite windows: right around dawn and again late, with that moving water driving fish to hunt hard into sunset. Sunset clock in at 6:45 p.m., plenty of light for that last cast[4]. Now, let’s talk fish: The mullet run’s still pushing, so the surf and jetties are loaded. Bull redfish are the main headline—plenty caught this week in the mid-20-inch to 32-inch range, especially near the Boca Chica jetties and the first gut. Anglers throwing gold spoons and fishing cut mullet off the bottom have been rewarded. Flounder action is ramping up on the move: fish in the 15 to 20-inch class being boxed close to sandy drop-offs and along channel edges—try soft plastics like Gulp! Swimming Mullet or live mud minnows bounced slow[1][4]. In the flats of lower Laguna Madre, the clarity is excellent and the speckled trout bite is hot at first light, especially over grass or in potholes. Most folks are limiting out, and you’ll find solid fish 16 to 20 inches. Big topwater strikes on Super Spook Jrs around daybreak, then move to natural-color soft plastics or live shrimp under a popping cork as the sun gets higher[1][4]. Some reports have Spanish mackerel thick on the jetties—look for fast-moving schools chasing bait. Rio Grande cichlids and sunfish are still active in freshwater brush piles and around local ponds for family anglers. Town Lake at Firemen’s Park in McAllen is extra busy, with stocked catfish and sunfish on worms for the kids[12]. If you’re heading out today, keep these best bets in your box: - Cut mullet and gold spoons for redfish. - Live shrimp or soft plastics in “mullet” and “natural” hues for trout. - Gulp! baits or live mud minnows for flounder. - Topwaters early for aggressive trout and reds; switch to subsurface as the sun rises. Water’s a bit green from earlier fronts, but that’s turning the bite on. If it’s super clear, scale down—finger-mullet imitators like the Bomber Mud Minnow or MirrOlure MirrOdine are big winners right now, according to local shops[1]. Hot spots to try: - Boca Chica Beach Jetties: The outgoing tide is stacking reds here, with bonus Spanish macks on silver spoons. - South Bay (Laguna Madre side): Wade out near grassy points and channel edges for a trout and flounder combo. Don’t forget, every angler over 17 needs a valid Texas fishing license, and if you’re bringing family or new anglers, Firemen’s Park in McAllen is This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Locals woke to a mild pre-dawn with a cool breeze rolling off the water. According to the National Weather Service, you can expect mostly clear skies today, highs around 81°F, and light winds up to 8 mph from the north. Sunrise hit at 7:36 AM, with sunset set for 6:47 PM—plenty of daylight to chase Texas trophies. For the tides, South Padre Island predictions show a high tide at 12:57 AM and a low at 5:00 PM. Moving water will peak toward sunset, so expect fish activity to ramp up after mid-afternoon and again near sundown. Fish are hungry; October is primetime down here. The mullet run is still pushing bait along the surf, and you’ll see that reflected in the action. Bull redfish are cruising the jetties and first gut, with reports of several catches this past week—most running in the mid 20-inch range, and a couple pushing 32 inches. Speckled trout are thick on the flats of the lower Laguna Madre, particularly in clear/pothole water in the mornings: most anglers get limits of trout with plenty in the 16 to 20-inch slot. Flounder are on the move, hanging close to edges and cuts before their migration. Several boats have brought in limits, and a few shore anglers are catching solid slabs between 15 and 20 inches near sandy drop-offs. Don’t overlook the Rio Grande cichlid; according to Louisiana Sportsman, they’ll hit almost anything and are being caught on nearshore brush and structure, especially by kids. Bait and lure selection is key. For redfish, nothing beats cut mullet on the bottom or gold spoons cast with a slow retrieve. Live shrimp are working well for trout—drifted under a popping cork or fished with soft plastics in natural colors, and topwaters like the Super Spook Jr. get smashed at first light. Flounder prefer Gulp! Swimming Mullet bounced along the bottom or live mud minnows. If the water is extra clear, stick to finger-mullet imitators—Bomber Mud Minnow and MirrOlure MirrOdine are getting solid reports from the local tackle shop. Hot spots to hit today: - The jetties at Boca Chica Beach: Ideal for reds and Spanish mackerel, especially on an outgoing tide. - South Bay (Laguna Madre side): Best wade fishing for speckled trout and flounder, especially near grassy points, potholes, and channel edges. Town Lake at Firemen’s Park in McAllen is also seeing action for family and catch-and-release anglers—mainly catfish and sunfish. Rentals and bait available on site; perfect spot for beginners. Remember, for ages 17 and up, a valid Texas license is required except during Free Fishing Day in June, as announced by Texas Parks and Wildlife. Most importantly, handle your fish with care and respect our waters—they’re the heart of angling in the Valley. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to subscribe for more reports.

Let me tell you, we're getting some prime fall conditions down here in our neck of the woods. We're looking at water temps sitting nice and cool in the mid-70s, which means the fish are starting to get real active. The tides at Port Aransas are working in our favor today with a high tide of 1.59 feet at 2:22 PM and a low at 0.50 feet, so you'll want to time your outings around that afternoon high. Now, if you're looking to head out on the water, the redfish bite has been absolutely excellent right now. We're talking gold and silver spoons, Fishbites, and live tilapia all producing strong bites. Catfish are also biting real well—both channel and blue catfish are being pulled in at 5-25 feet of water on stink bait and shrimp. Sand bass are schooling up big time early in the morning on slabs and fast-moving baits, and let me tell you, the schools have been nothing short of fantastic. For y'all targeting largemouth bass, crappie are consistently good on small jigs and minnows fished over structure and timber. White bass are schooling on or near the surface early morning and late afternoon. I'd recommend heading out to the deeper structure in the 15-30 foot range if you're after catfish or stripers. The windblown points and timber areas have been producing solid numbers. For redfish and sand bass, work the shallower flats early and stay mobile. The bite's been solid across the board down here. With this fall front moving through, expect things to pick up even more as we head into the weekend. Thanks so much for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for your next fishing adventure.

First things first: the weather’s sitting in the low 70s at dawn, warming to mid-80s by afternoon. Winds are light out of the northeast, and the skies are clear—a picture-perfect morning for wetting a line. Sunrise came at 7:41 a.m., and sunset will be around 6:48 p.m., so you’ve got daylight to chase those bites well into the evening. Tidal swings are mellow, with a high tide rolling through the coast before sunrise and dropping off to a low midafternoon, keeping water moving—always a green light for fish activity. Fall run’s in full swing. Along the banks and through the surf, mullet are surging, attracting big bull redfish in the jetties and beachfront. Over in the back bays and the edges of the Laguna Madre—just a skip down from Rio Grande—cooler mornings have speckled trout pushing shallow onto grass flats and around potholes. Cuts and channel edges are prime spots for flounder staging before their winter move. You’ll spot Spanish mackerel darting along the rocks, and if you’re lucky, a snook ambushing bait tight to structure—right on cue for late October. Recent catches have been solid. Anglers have pulled in good numbers of reds, with some bull sizes giving folks a run for their money. Trout action’s best at dawn with limits showing up by 9 a.m., and flounder catches are picking up around the mouths of drains and narrow channels. Catfish—channels and blues—are active upriver west of town, especially in deeper holes and river bends, with a few big ones weighed near 20 pounds in the past week. Here’s the scoop on baits and lures: if you’re chasing reds and trout, start with topwater lures around sunrise—something that matches finger mullet profiles. Switch up to soft plastics in darker colors (root beer or plum/chartreuse tails) or drift live shrimp under a popping cork as the sun climbs. Gold spoons and cut mullet are dynamite in the first gut for reds. For flounder, bounce Gulp or live mud minnows right on the bottom near channel edges. If freshwater’s your thing, the river’s giving up some chunky largemouth and Guadalupe bass on crankbaits and spinnerbaits, especially near woody cover. Channel cats are biting on stinkbait and punched bait, while blue cats favor fresh cut shad in the deeper river pockets. Hot spots locals are raving about today: - Boca Chica Beach jetties—bull reds, trout, and mackerel at first light. - Port Isabel causeway—trout and flounder stacked in the current lines. - Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge—upriver for bass and sunfish, especially at creek mouths. Keep an eye out for mullet schools—wherever they go, the game fish follow. Best window for a bite is sunrise, with another uptick near sunset, especially when tides are on the move.

If freshwater’s your thing, the river’s giving up some chunky largemouth and Guadalupe bass on crankbaits and spinnerbaits, especially near woody cover. Channel cats are biting on stinkbait and punched bait, while blue cats favor fresh cut shad in the deeper river pockets. Hot spots locals are raving about today: - Boca Chica Beach jetties—bull reds, trout, and mackerel at first light. - Port Isabel causeway—trout and flounder stacked in the current lines. - Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge—upriver for bass and sunfish, especially at creek mouths. Keep an eye out for mullet schools—wherever they go, the game fish follow. Best window for a bite is sunrise, with another uptick near sunset, especially when tides are on the move.

The weather’s starting brisk, with a cool north breeze after last night’s weak front—mornings are dipping into the high 60s, with highs topping out in the low 80s and that dry south Texas sun shining through. Sunrise is 7:35 this morning, and you’ll get good daylight til about 6:49 this evening, giving you a long window to wet a line. Today’s tide times for the coast down at South Padre Island—closest big water to most of us in the Rio Grande Valley—are calling for a low at 1:36 PM at just under half a foot and steady incoming after that. That moving water, paired with the current phase of the mullet run, is a recipe for red-hot action in all the right spots, especially at sun-up and again as shadows start to stretch out late day. According to Tide-Forecast.com, use those hours on both sides of the low tide to your advantage. On the fishing front: October is when the *fall push* really lights up fishing from the river to the surf. Along the Rio Grande, most of the local action has centered on *catfish* and *largemouth bass*, but for saltwater diehards, it’s hard to beat the scene over in the Laguna Madre and at the jetties. As Fishingreminder puts it, surf and jetties are drawing in waves of *bull redfish* hunting migrating mullet. In the bays, the *speckled trout* bite is turning on at first light over grass flats and potholes. *Flounder* are staging up in the cuts and deeper water, prepping for their late-fall migration—prime targets on soft plastics or live mud minnows bounced along the bottom. The best success this morning came on topwaters at dawn for trout, particularly chartreuse or bone-colored Spooks and Skitter Walks. Once that sun’s up, you’ll get more consistent bites on soft plastics—think pearl or root beer paddle tails rigged weedless—and the old standby: live shrimp under a popping cork. For bull reds, cut mullet on bottom rigs worked great in the first gut just inside the South Padre surf, and don’t overlook gold spoons worked steady along the channel edges. Some lucky anglers trolled up Spanish mackerel where bait was stacked along the rocks, and a few solid *snook* were caught on swimbaits in tight to structure. Reports from Captain Experiences guides this week have folks grinning—multiple 40+ inch bull reds landed at the jetties, inshore trips weighing heavy stringers of slot reds and speckled trout, and the flounder gigging crowd hauling in some real doormats on night tides. No monsters from the river this time, but plenty of channel cats coming to cut bait and chicken liver, especially below Falcon Dam and in the deeper bends just south of Rio Grande City. Hot spots to dial in right now: the old standby Mexiquita Flats near Port Isabel for trout and reds, South Padre Island jetties for bull reds and mackerel, and the El Sauz cut on the Laguna Madre for a mixed bag with a shot at flounder.

It’s a classic south Texas fall morning: sunrise hit around 7:39 a.m., with sunset set for 6:54 p.m., giving us a solid day to put lines in the water. Weather's mild for late October—expect daytime temps in the upper 80s, maybe a touch over 90 in the afternoon, with patchy clouds and a light breeze rustling the river cane. KRGV Channel 5 News reported some scattered showers yesterday but things look clear today, with the wind laying down enough to make both river and coastal fishing inviting for small boats and shore-bound anglers. Tides in the Lower Laguna Madre and along the mouth of the Rio Grande will see a low around lunchtime, bottoming out at about 0.07 feet, then building back up into the afternoon with highs peaking just before dark. According to Fishing Reminder, the bite has lined up best at first light and late afternoon during a moving tide, especially after these minor fronts pushing down from the north. We’re just past the first quarter moon, with strong tidal coefficients, meaning there’s current to stir up bait and spark a feeding window. Down in the estuaries and flats—South Bay, Boca Chica Bay, and El Realito Bay—the mullet run is still humming along the beachfront. The jetties and surf are alive with bull redfish harassing those bait schools. Early risers tossing finger-mullet topwaters or gold spoons have done real well before the sun gets too high. Later, switching to live mullet, cut bait, or a big Gulp soft plastic along the deeper guts puts you in the mix for reds and some slot-sized black drum. Laguna Madre side is still producing good speckled trout numbers over grass flats and potholes, especially right at sun-up on walk-the-dog style topwaters. As the morning wears on, swap to a light jighead with a white or chartreuse paddle-tail or drift a live shrimp under a popping cork—shrimp are getting thick and trout are keyed in. Local guides at Fisherman’s Wharf and down by the South Jetty report solid mid-week boxes of trout up to 24 inches, with the occasional snook ambush around tight structure—bridge pilings and rocky outcrops are best. Don’t overlook the flounder bite. They’re stacking near the cuts and channel edges in anticipation of their migration. Dragging a mud minnow or Gulp Swimming Mullet slowly along the bottom will tempt those flat slabs. Spanish mackerel are still busting bait along the jetties, so carry a silver spoon or fast-moving plug if you’re looking for some drag-screaming fun. If you’re headed up the freshwater stretches of the Rio Grande, the all-tackle records show some brutes swimming these waters—recent catches include blue and flathead catfish into the 30- to 60-pound range, hefty freshwater drum, and plenty of Rio Grande cichlids and sunfish in the rocky pools.

First light hit at 7:36 a.m. today and we’ll lose it at 6:58 p.m. Expect a cool autumn start with a high around 77, low humidity, and a faint north breeze blowing ten or so knots—perfect for that fall bite window. We’re riding a waxing crescent moon, and the tide’s moving: low water at 10:24 a.m. (0.1 ft) and a strong push to high at 7:40 p.m. (1.54 ft), giving you prime movement toward dusk. According to Fishing Reminder, that evening flood should line up with a solid major feeding time. Anglers up and down the Lower Laguna and Rio Grande flats are riding the benefits of mullet runs pushing right along the beachfront. Bull redfish are chewing heavy at the jetties and surf, with live mullet or cut shad on the bottom doing the heavy lifting. If artificials are your game, gold spoons and finger-mullet–profile swimbaits should be tied on—keep ‘em moving fast, and when you feel a bump, give it a half-second pause to nail that hookset. On the bay side, speckled trout are slashing topwaters early (those brighter bone or chartreuse colors are reliable), especially when tossed over grass flats in the clearer water. By midmorning, switch to soft plastics like a white or new penny Gulp jerk shad, or shrimp below a popping cork if the bite slows. Down in the cuts and sandy pockets, flounder are stacking up ahead of their migration. The bites have been steady for folks bouncing soft plastics or drifting live mud minnows and mullet strips near the bottom edges. There’s been talk around Fisherman’s Wharf and the South Jetty of Spanish mackerel blitzing bait balls when the wind isn’t howling, so keep a silver spoon or a flashy Gotcha plug handy for some light-tackle action. The occasional snook is also being pulled from tight structure on live piggy perch or twitch baits. If you prefer sweet water, keep an eye on the Rio Grande proper—recent entries in the Texas Parks & Wildlife private water records show catches of Rio Grande cichlid on small crawfish imitations and worms. Bluegill and sunfish are hitting little spinners and beadhead nymphs in the slower runs. Hot spots to put on your radar: the South Jetty at Isla Blanca is hopping right now for reds, especially on that rising tide near sunset. For trout and flounder, the grass flats off South Bay are top-notch, especially if you wade out early. Boca Chica Beach, just east, has been reliable for both surf reds and the odd snook when the surf’s green. Last local tip—match your lure size to the bait.

Pull up a bucket, grab a cold one, and let’s talk fish! **Weather & Sunlight** Today’s shaping up to be another classic South Texas scorcher. The KRGV weather team says expect breezy winds and temps pushing into the 90s. That’s right, folks—heat’s on, so hydrate and slather on the sunscreen. Sunrise lit up our skies right around 7:30 a.m., and we’ll catch sunset just past 7 p.m. That gives us plenty of daylight to prowl the water, but don’t sleep on that early morning or evening bite—those are prime times, especially with this heat. **Tidal Trends** Now, we don’t have a direct tide station here at Rio Grande, but just up the coast, Aransas Pass NOAA Tides show tonight’s high rolling in around 7:30 p.m. at about 1.9 feet. Keep in mind, tides at the mouth of the Rio Grande can move baitfish around and stir up predator activity—so plan your trips just before or after slack tide for best results. **Fish Activity—Recent Catches** This time of year, the marshes, channels, and Laguna Madre flats near the Rio Grande are lit up with life. According to Texas Parks & Wildlife’s private water records, local anglers have been pulling in solid numbers on several fronts. - **Catfish**—Channel, blue, and even flathead catfish are chewing. Folks are landing channels up near 50 pounds, hittin’ cut bait and bluegill, especially in deeper holes and around structure. Blue cats are showing up on cut shad and live bluegill, and flatheads are out there too—if you want a bruiser, target logjams and undercuts at night. - **Redfish & Speckled Trout**—While the TPWD site mainly tracks freshwater, local word is that reds are schooled up tight on the falling tide, cruising the grass lines. Specks are holding on the edges of deeper channels, especially near the mouth where the river meets the bay. Topwater early, soft plastics and suspending twitchbaits as the sun gets high. - **Largemouth Bass**—The river itself and nearby oxbows and resacas have good bass action. Dark green or purple Texas-rigs, creature baits, and spinnerbaits are all producing, especially around laydowns and deeper reed lines. - **Other Action**—Crappie, white and black, are stacked on submerged structure—try small minnows or marabou jigs. Bluegill and sunfish are always willing if you need a few for the pan or for live bait. **Best Lures & Bait** - **Catfish:** Cut shad, chicken liver, and live bluegill. Stink baits and punch baits are working well, too. - **Redfish:** Gold spoons, paddletail swimbaits, and weedless soft plastics in rootbeer or chartreuse. Topwater frogs at dawn. - **Speckled Trout:** MirrOlure suspending lures, DOA shrimp, and 3-inch soft plastics in peacock or lime/white. - **Bass:** Texas-rigged worms, creature baits, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits—oxblood, junebug, and green pumpkin are hot colors. - **Crappie & Panfish:** 1/16-oz jigs, live minnows, and small soft pla This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

This is Artificial Lure with your Friday fishing report for October 24, 2025. Sunrise hit the water at 7:37 AM today, and we’ll be fishing daylight until sunset at 6:58 PM. Skies are mostly clear, humidity sits high at around 70%, and it’s another hot one—yesterday tapped 101°F according to Hawaii Weather Today, and we’re feeling the tail end of that heat wave on the water. Expect light east to southeast winds, just 5 to 10 knots, making for easy drifting and mostly calm bay and Gulf conditions per the NWS forecast out of Brownsville. The waters are seeing just a light chop—perfect for a full day on your favorite flats or the channel edges. Tide action today is moderate, with a morning high around 8:40 AM, falling to a slack low mid-afternoon near 3:15 PM. If you’re planning to time your cast for peak bites, the best solunar activity lines up mid-morning through lunch, and again just after sundown, according to Solunar Forecast and NOAA tides. Now for the action: this week, anglers are reporting stellar catches on all the usual Rio Grande suspects. Redfish, speckled trout, and flounder are being hauled in with regularity. According to recent logs and Captain Experiences, reds are pushing shallows early before heading deep, while specks have been schooling up around drop-offs, especially during change-of-tide periods. Some anglers out with Damn Good Guides reported quick limits with chunky trout up to 23”, plus tailing reds pushing over grass in two feet of water. The Arroyo Colorado and South Bay have both fished hot—look for bird activity and bait flips near the Sal Del Rey cut and the spoil banks off the ship channel. Boca Chica Beach, always popular, saw a nice run of slot reds on Wednesday, and the lower Laguna Madre flats gave up some big flounder to giggers and soft-plastic slingers last night. For baits and lures: reds are hitting gold spoons, Gulp! shrimp (new penny or glow), and live shrimp under popping corks. Specks are lighting up on topwaters at first light—think Super Spooks in bone or chrome, as well as classic MirrOlures and DOA soft plastics. With the water clarity holding fair to stained, keep your colors natural early and bright as the sun climbs. For live bait, you can’t beat shrimp or finger mullet right now. If it’s catfish or something offbeat you seek, the channel edges east of Brownsville are producing fine blue and channel cats on cut shad and stinkbait. Night anglers are also picking up some fat gar and the occasional big drum near the bridges. Hot spots today: - The Arroyo Colorado mouth and nearby spoil islands, best with a slow-drift popping cork rig for trout and reds. - Boca Chica surf, especially at daybreak for reds on spoons or cut bait. - Shallow flats near South Bay for sight-casting at cruising reds with paddle tails or live shrimp. - The Brownsville Ship Channel for a mix of drum, snook, and the odd tarpon.

A subtle north breeze has kept things bearable out on the flats. For the *tidal scoop*, we’re on a mixed tide cycle that’s been productive. Expect a morning low tide around 7:15 a.m., climbing to a healthy high tide at 11:45 a.m., dipping again before dark. These tidal swings are pushing plenty of bait, especially finger mullet and shrimp, straight into the mouths of hungry fish, so watch for moving water near marsh drains and channel edges—prime feeding zones right now. This past week has been classic October action. According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife weekly reports, speckled trout have fired up over the grass flats and potholes in Laguna Madre at first light and late afternoon. Most keepers are running 17–22 inches, but the occasional big girl in the 24-inch range is being reported by waders near Gas Well Flats and the spoil islands. Redfish remain thick along the surf and jetties, with the bull run in full swing. Most reds are coming in between 25 and 34 inches, often in loose pods, chasing mullet schools up shallow. A few brutes were beached along Boca Chica by patient soakers using cut mullet. In the bay, slot reds are feeding aggressively on falling water along south-facing shorelines, especially in the afternoons after the tide flips. Flounder are starting to stage up around cut banks and creek outflows, prepping for that November migration. If you’re after flatties, work Gulp or live mud minnows slowly along drop-offs near the Brownsville Ship Channel—the giggers have been taking quality fish on calm nights. Along deeper rocks and jetties, Spanish mackerel have been blitzing fast-moving bait, with the occasional snook ambushing lures tight to the structure, mostly at dawn. The best report on snook is from angler chatter around the San Martin Pier—live shrimp freelined under the lights at night have hooked a few upper 20-inchers, though the bite remains streaky. Best baits and lures for today: - **For trout:** topwater plugs at dawn (think Super Spooks, Skitter Walks), then switch to soft plastic paddletails or live shrimp under a popping cork as the sun rises. - **For reds:** gold spoons are king right now, followed by soft plastics on 1/8 oz. jigheads; cut mullet and crab if you’re bait fishing. - **For flounder:** Gulp Swimming Mullet (chartreuse or white) on a jig, or live finger mullet bounced on the bottom. - **For jetties and surf:** flashy spoons, Gotchas, or silver swimbaits will get mackerel and bonus species. If you’re looking for hot spots, don’t skip these: - **South Bay:** Trout and reds early over the scattered grass, with the channel edges heating up as the This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s get you dialed in for a prime day on the water. We’re starting off with a sunrise at 7:38 AM and sunset coming up around 7:05 PM, giving us a nice, full day to wet a line. The weather out of Brownsville and the Valley area is seasonably warm and dry, with light east winds at about 5 to 10 knots and seas around 2 to 3 feet, so bay boats can roam comfortably and yaks can get in close to the grass lines without trouble. No significant rain in the forecast, but don’t forget the sunscreen—above-average temps will stick with us a bit longer, according to the National Weather Service. On the tidal front, we’re seeing cycles syncing up for active periods through midday. The tide chart from local reporting shows an early morning low tide, then pushing up toward a high beginning late morning. Those changing tides around 10–11 AM and again toward dusk help stir up bait and bring predators in shallow. Pair your fishing with these moves if you can. The solunar tables put the best fish activity today right around 8:00 to 9:00 AM and then again late afternoon into dusk. We’ve got a fresh dark moon, which can mean the bite is more active at these peak windows. Let’s talk hot spots: Boca Chica Flats and the mouth of the Arroyo Colorado are both producing. The South Bay edges and mud pockets north of the ship channel have seen good action too for folks wading, poling, or pitching from small skiffs. Recent catches have been exciting. Big numbers of slot redfish are cruising the deeper potholes and tailing early—live mullet or cut menhaden working best, but don’t sleep on gold spoons and 3-inch paddle tails in new penny or white. Speckled trout are hammering topwaters from first light until about 9 AM—think bone-colored Spooks and She Dogs, then swap to soft plastics as the sun climbs. The Laguna Madre’s classic chartreuse and white combo remains a local favorite. On the brackish stretch of river, channel catfish are turning up in solid numbers, especially on stinkbait, chicken liver, or fresh shrimp. Blue cats are a little less consistent but worth targeting after dark near deeper holes and eddies with cut shad. For the lure crowd, gold Johnson spoons, weedless paddle tails in electric chicken or purple, and MirrOlure suspending baits have accounted for most of the better trout and redfish this week. Wade anglers in skinny water are getting bonus flounder throwing Gulp shrimp off the drop-offs. If you’re after something different, the banks upriver are holding some hefty Rio Grande cichlids and bluegill, soaked worms or mealworms under a slip bobber doing the trick for kids and finesse anglers alike. Reports from the Guadalupe River—always a kindred cousin in South Texas waters—show recent all-tackle catches topping out with big largemouth bass on slow-rolled spinnerbaits and big catfish on punch bait.

The sun came up this morning at 7:37 a.m. with sunset expected at 7:02 p.m., giving y’all plenty of daylight for wetting a line. Weather conditions as of this morning are pleasant—a cool front rolled through overnight, knocking temps down to a comfortable 67° at dawn, set to climb to the mid-80s by late afternoon. Winds are mild out of the northeast at 7-10 mph, with partly cloudy skies promising comfortable conditions for most of the day. Now, let’s talk tides. Down at the Lower Laguna Madre near Port Isabel and the South Bay area, we're seeing incoming tides peaking around 9:10 a.m. and outgoing starting near 2:30 p.m. That morning flood will have baitfish pushing into the marshes and backwater, so that’s prime time for searching out redfish and specks in the shallow flats. Fish activity has been heating up with the drop in overnight temps. This past week, local guides and regulars working the river bends, oxbow lakes, and coastal flats report solid action on slot redfish (18-27"), especially around Holly Beach and the spoil banks near Arroyo City. Black drum and sheepshead are schooling up, too, especially over oyster reefs and bulkheads. Don't overlook the snook! Reports continue to come in from folks tossing paddle tails and live shrimp around submerged brush and pilings, particularly up near the Brownsville ship channel. Excitement is still high for trout. While nothing huge got pulled this week, anglers are saying nice keepers—16 to 20 inches—are mixed in with some dinks in the mangrove cuts and grass edges. Look for the bite to tick up right after the tide turns and starts pushing in. White bass have also been active along the main stem of the river, especially at dawn and dusk. As for what’s been working? Early in the morning, topwater lures like Heddon Super Spooks or Skitter Walks are producing that classic blow-up action—especially in bone or mullet patterns. By mid-morning, folks are doing well with soft plastics, particularly paddletails in pearl or chartreuse on 1/8 oz jig heads. For natural bait, you can’t go wrong with fresh live shrimp or cut mullet on a Carolina rig. Heavier current is putting live pinfish and mud minnows to good use for bigger reds and the chance at flounder. If you’re looking for hotspots today, don’t miss these two: Number one, Boca Chica Flats—consistently putting out redfish and the occasional oversized trout. Work the drop-offs near the spoil islands, especially when the tide is moving. Number two, the mouth of the Arroyo Colorado—specks, small jacks, and even a few mangrove snapper are showing up just outside the jetties. Live shrimp under popping corks have been money here, especially in the afternoon when the breeze picks up.

Artificial Lure here with your October 19, 2025, fishing report for the Rio Grande area and surrounding waters. You’re waking up to cool fall temps, clear skies, and a whole lot of promise for tight lines and big stories. Let’s get right to it: **today’s weather** is shaping up prime for anglers. Temps will start off brisk in the low 50s but warm up nicely past midday, staying dry and comfortable. According to the National Weather Service out of Brownsville, expect light winds with plenty of sun—a recipe for increased fish activity as the water warms. **Tides today around South Padre**—your closest saltwater—and these’ll impact both bay and river mouths: - High tide rolls in at 1:54 a.m., - Low tide drops to its lowest at 8:15 a.m., - Another high peaks at 3:29 p.m., - Evening low at 9:42 p.m. If you can get out for the morning incoming or the afternoon push, you’ll likely find active feeders waiting. **Sunrise hits at 7:30 a.m. and sunset runs 6:56 p.m.**—perfect window for early birds and that golden-hour bite. Now, **fish activity**: This day rates “good” to “best” for action, with the major feeding periods between 1:44–3:44 a.m. and again 2:06–4:06 p.m.; minor times hit 8:54–9:54 a.m. and 8:22–9:22 p.m. If you want that wall-hanger, time your casts to overlap these peak periods. Let’s talk **what’s biting**: - **Largemouth bass** are on a tear with recent double-digit fish landed near Falcon Lake—Willie Pipkin set a February record at over 14 pounds on a soft plastic. - **Blue and channel catfish** are active, with 4–10 pounders common on cut bait and punch bait along deeper holes in the Rio and its resacas. - **Crappie** pickups have been strong on live minnows and white jigs, especially near submerged timber or riprap. - The legendary **Rio Grande cichlid** are biting well on worms and small jigs, mostly in the calmer, warmer pockets. - **Hybrid stripers** and white bass are popping up through the system, especially where bait balls gather—try shad imitations near the old spillways or current rips. **Saltwater side** near Boca Chica and the jetties is solid for **redfish** and **speckled trout**; reds are running the flats and guts, with trout deeper off structure. Live shrimp and paddle-tail soft plastics have both been top producers. In particular, gold spoons and chartreuse plastics are taking the majority of redfish right now. **Best local lures and baits:** - For bass, you can’t go wrong with chartreuse spinnerbaits, Texas-rigged worms (watermelon or junebug), and topwater plugs at first light. - For cats, stink bait and fresh shad are king. - Crappie love small white or pink curly-tails, especially on lightweight jigheads. - Saltwater? Try gold spoons, silver rattletraps, or shrimp under a popping cork. **Hot spots to put on your radar:** - **Falcon Lake** for monster bass and catfish—work the creek mouths and rocky ledges. - **Resaca de la Palma State Park** offers solid bank and kayak fis This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for the Rio Grande Valley. Beautiful morning out here with sunrise hitting at 7:29 AM and sunset coming at 6:57 PM, giving us a solid day on the water. Weather's looking sunny and warm with temperatures climbing into the 90s, so bring plenty of water and sun protection. Let's talk tides for South Padre Island. We've got a high tide at 2:06 AM sitting at 1.82 feet, followed by a low at 7:52 AM at 1.33 feet. Next high comes at 2:08 PM reaching 1.92 feet, and we'll close out with a low at 8:32 PM at 1.31 feet. These modest tidal swings mean steady fishing conditions throughout the day. The bite has been heating up this fall. Redfish are absolutely on fire right now, with anglers reporting consistent action on the flats and along the passes. Speckled trout are also showing up in good numbers, and we're seeing some monster trout coming through. Flounder are making their fall run, and don't sleep on the catfish if you're targeting the river proper. For lures, you'll want to throw soft plastics on light tackle—jigs have been producing well based on recent catches at nearby waters. Rapala Countdown Elite crankbaits are working for those targeting structure, and topwater action in the early morning can be explosive for reds and trout. If you're going live bait, cut carp works great for bigger species, and live shrimp never fails for specs and reds. Water Body Records for Espantosa show Leo Flores has been crushing it with jigs, landing everything from white crappie to alligator gar on cut bait. That tells you versatility in your approach pays off. For hot spots, hit the flats around South Padre Island during those tidal movements—the incoming tide at midday should push baitfish and predators onto the flats. The channels and passes are holding fish too, especially during those tide changes. Up river, focus on structure and deeper holes where cats and gar are hanging. The fall bite is definitely heating up, so this is prime time to get out there. Whether you're sight casting the flats or working deeper structure, the fish are active and hungry.

First light’s already painting the shallow flats gold and you can feel the humidity hanging thick—fall’s here, but summer’s hanging on a bit longer than we’d like. Let’s kick off with today’s weather. According to the National Weather Service, it’s unseasonably warm and dry: highs peaking in the high 80s, maybe nudging 90 mid-afternoon, with southeast winds around 5–10 knots before turning south after midnight. Not much chance of rain, so pack on the sunscreen, bring a hat, and keep your water handy. Conditions are staying steady, so fish are settling into reliable patterns. Tides are crucial. Tide-Forecast.com shows a low tide this morning around 5:56 AM and a high tide peaking near 8:07 PM. That slow incoming tide through the afternoon means baitfish are on the move, and the predators will be right behind them. If you’re fishing the Lower Laguna Madre or heading close to the inlets, time your outing for that rising water—reds and specks love to prowl the freshly-flooded shallows during these hours. Fish activity’s been solid all week. Captain Experiences has recent trips logging redfish, speckled trout, and a mixed bag of drum, flounder, and even some sheepshead near structure. Redfish are hot right now—multiple boat limits reported, especially around the Port Isabel jetties and into the South Bay. Trout have been showing on grasslines before sun-up, and there are whispers from the dam good guides about oversized black drum in deeper channels for those soaking blue crab or big shrimp. Best baits and lures? Early mornings call for topwater plugs—Super Spooks, Skitter Walks, and She Dogs are all drawing explosive takes at daybreak, especially for aggressive specks and thrashing slot reds. As that sun climbs, transition to soft plastics in natural colors like plum/chartreuse or chartreuse tail cocahoes and paddle tails on light jig heads. If you’re after flounder, stick close to drop-offs and slow-hop a Gulp! shrimp or live mud minnow. Live bait’s still producing: finger mullet and live shrimp are always ticket grabbers, especially on slip corks near pilings or drifting over shell. Channel edges are still holding some channel cat and even a few stray gar—cut shad or chicken liver will get the job done. Looking for hotspots? Try these: - Holly Beach flats: Early and late for schooling trout. - South Bay: Redfish cruising in less than two feet of water. - Ship Channel edges near Port Isabel: Drum and the odd stray snook. - Texas Tides Inlet: Outgoing tide for flounder stacking up along rocks. Don’t overlook the bridges at night, either—lights draw shrimp, the shrimp draw trout, and feeding frenzies aren’t rare just after sunset til around midnight. Recent catches are proving it’s worth your time right now. Reports from the past tw This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The weather feels like pure fall in the Valley – clear skies, with highs pushing the upper 80s as the day runs on, and some gentle southeast breeze that’ll keep things pleasant out on the water, exactly what the NWS Brownsville office forecasted last night. The tides, based on the nearby South Padre Island predictions, run low around mid-day and high just after midnight. This morning’s rising tide means fish are on the move, especially in the backwater channels and shallows near the Boca Chica flats and areas where the Rio Grande feeds coastal estuaries. Recent boat reports and guide chatter say the last few mornings produced a steady bite for **redfish**, **speckled trout**, and some late-season **flounder** for those hugging weed lines and oyster beds. There’s action on both the US and Mexican sides of the river. Drum and channel catfish catches have also been consistent, especially near deeper bends and under old bridge pilings – locals pulling up some solid eaters as well as a few lunkers, with flathead and blue catfish putting up the best fight. Lure selection is always the game-changer down here. Specks and reds are smashing **soft plastics** like white or chartreuse paddle tails rigged on quarter-ounce jigheads. Early in the morning, it’s tough to beat a topwater walk-the-dog lure, with bone and mullet patterns working best over shallow grass. For the cats, it’s classic – cut shad and stink bait, or live perch if you can catch ‘em. Where the river meets coastal marsh, chatterbaits and spinnerbaits have started popping up in more tackle boxes, especially targeting Traira (if you’re after exotics) – that’s been the hot tip in river stretches with skinnier water and heavy cover. Several guide boats today even recommended Texas rigged plastics to work through brush and timber. If you’re chasing quantities, the Arroyo Colorado and the Port Isabel ship channel are seeing the best numbers lately, with guides reporting stringers of eight to twelve slot reds per boat, three to six keeper specks, and the occasional flounder up to four pounds. Anglers off the Green Valley boat ramp are consistently bringing home mixed bags – bluegill, sunfish, and small bass for the fry pan, with bowfishers and trotliners landing carp and buffalo early in the week. For the best bite today, fish the outgoing tide after sunrise for trout staging in deeper river cuts, then shift to the edges as the tide pushes water up and the baitfish move in. Don’t miss the prime solunar windows – from about 7:05 AM to 9:05 AM for your major morning opportunity, and another flurry right around sunset when the water cools off.

Let's talk about what's happening in our Rio Grande Valley waters today. The sun came up at 7:26 this morning and we'll have light until about 7:03 tonight, giving us plenty of time on the water. We're looking at sunny and dry conditions throughout the day, perfect for getting out there and wetting a line. Now, if you're heading down to South Padre Island, the tide situation is pretty mild today. We've got a low tide coming in around 1:28 this afternoon at negative 0.24 feet. Not much tidal movement, which means fish will be holding in their usual spots rather than moving around with strong currents. Let's talk about what's been biting. The San Marcos River records show us what species are active in our Texas waters. Guadalupe bass have been hitting hard, with recent catches going over two pounds on Texas-rigged flukes. Largemouth bass are always a solid target, and we've seen some nice ones taken on Senkos and jerkbaits. For you catfish hunters, blue cats up to 12 pounds have been caught on cut carp, while flatheads over 18 pounds have fallen for live bluegill. Channel cats are biting on minnows and jigs. If you're fly fishing, white streamers and nymphs have been productive. Don't overlook the sunfish family - redear sunfish over two pounds have been landed, and they'll hit on plastic worms and crawfish imitations. Rio Grande cichlids are active too, taking red wigglers and small nymphs. For hot spots, I'd recommend the Back Bay area around Port Isabel - it's sheltered and attracts plenty of baitfish. The South Jetty is another solid choice, especially during twilight hours when predators move in to feed. Best lures right now? Stick with Texas-rigged soft plastics, Senkos in natural colors, and topwater poppers early and late in the day. For bait, you can't go wrong with live bluegill for big cats, red wigglers for panfish and cichlids, or cut bait for catfish. The fishing pressure has been light, which means the fish aren't too spooked. Get out there early if you can, work those transition areas where deeper water meets the shallows, and pay attention to any structure or vegetation.

Sunrise rolled in at 7:25 AM and you’ll see sunset right around 7:04 PM today, so you’ve got a generous window to make the most of the bite. The forecast calls for clear skies and mild temps, with a light northern breeze, making for perfect October fishing. Storms have rattled the area earlier this week, but conditions have settled—minor flooding reported in McAllen hasn’t seemed to slow down the anglers in Cameron and Hidalgo counties. Over on the coast, the tides for South Padre Island show a low at 12:23 PM and a substantial high tide hitting at 11:07 PM, so you’ll want to time your saltwater action for late afternoon and into evening, especially if you’re jetty or surf casting. In the back bays and river mouths, those dropping midday tides will pull bait and active fish into the deeper channels. Recent catches around Rio Grande and the lower Laguna Madre have been promising. According to Captain Experiences, inshore guides are still scoring solid numbers of redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. Vanessa B. landed mammoth reds just a few days ago, and snapper action on nearshore structures looks good for persistent folks who work the edges on the major feeding windows. Large gar have also made a few appearances upriver, with one crew nearly boating a four-footer. In the Rio Grande itself, anglers have brought in blue catfish up to 20 pounds on cut shad and sunfish, and the usual mix of drum and panfish are showing up on the brush piles and deeper holes downstream of Falcon Lake. October tends to be the transition month—catfish are fattening up ahead of cooler weather, and largemouth bass are chasing shad schools, especially around submerged timber and eddies. For best results on reds and trout, tie on a **soft-plastic paddle tail** in chartreuse or new penny. If the water’s clear, crank or twitch a **silver spoon**, which can trigger reaction strikes from aggressive trout. Flounder have responded well to **live mullet** and scented soft plastics dragged slowly near the bottom. Bass are hitting **topwater frogs** early and late, then switching to **crankbaits** and **chatterbaits** as the day warms up. Catfish? Nothing beats fresh **cut bait** or **prepared stink baits** fished in channel flows and deeper bends. Here’s a couple of local hot spots worth checking out: - **Boca Chica Beach jetties:** Great for late night trout and redfish action as the tide pushes in. - **Salineno and Zapata stretches of the Rio Grande:** Blue cats, drum, and the occasional monster gar on cut bait and live perch. The next four days should see improving activity as clear skies and falling water temperatures get the fish feeding hard. Keep an eye on bird action to find those inshore schools, and don’t be afraid to switch from artificials to bait if the bite slows midday. Thanks for tuning in to today’s report.

It’s a classic early fall dawn here along the border, and anglers across the lower Rio Grande Valley are shaking off the dew and heading out for another solid day of fishing action. The weather is starting off a bit muggy, as is typical for October down here—sunrise hit just after 7:32 am, and we’ll see sunset come around 7:11 pm. Expect a high in the mid-80s, mostly cloudy and breezy, with a good chance for an afternoon shower. Water conditions are steady, river flow’s moderate, and the lingering humidity is keeping those baitfish close to structure. As for the tides, the nearest Gulf readings show a low tide just before 9am and a high tide peaking mid-afternoon, so your best river action will be mid-morning into the early afternoon. This lines up pretty well with today’s solunar prediction, with prime fish-feeding windows from about 8 to 11 am and again after 5 pm. Fishing activity has been strong this week. Reports from veteran locals and Texas Parks and Wildlife records confirm good catches of blue catfish and channel cats on both the main river and the deep river bends just north of town. Blue cats up to 10 pounds have come on cut shad and fresh shrimp, particularly on the north side of Brownsville. Channel cats are hammering punch bait and nightcrawlers near bridge pilings and at the Fallen Gate launch. Fresh reports show that largemouth bass are staging around submerged wood and riprap, hitting dark plastic worms, chartreuse spinnerbaits, and topwater poppers, especially at first and last light. The backwater pockets near Los Ebanos Ferry and the cuts south of La Paloma have produced several 3-4 pound fish on slow-rolled Texas rigs. Pan fishing is firing around the willow banks. Rio Grande cichlids have been active on red worms and small jigs, with bluegill and redbreast sunfish joining the party for anglers drifting a small piece of nightcrawler under a fixed bobber. This week, a handful of record-sized cichlids and fat black drum have been reported by both kayak anglers and bank fishermen, especially in the slower side channels right behind the levees. Texas Parks and Wildlife’s latest records show a Rio Grande cichlid just over 0.6 lbs was caught on a crawfish Briminator earlier this week, and several sunfish approaching a pound have been landed using worms and small flashy spinners. For you lure fanatics, its hard to beat a #2 Mepps Aglia for sunfish, or a black/chartreuse beetle spin for bass and cichlids—both have been catching consistently. Folks targeting cats or drum should stick with cut shad, fresh shrimp, or Danny King’s punch bait—no need to get fancy. If you want to swing for the fences, live carp or large shiners might tempt an alligator gar, and there's been talk of a few monsters cruising late afternoons near the Anzalduas Dam outflow.

Grab the coffee—here’s what’s happening on the water for October 8, 2025. Sunrise hit at 7:24 AM, with sunset coming at 7:09 PM. Weather this morning’s pretty classic for fall—expect patchy clouds, muggy air near 80°F at sunup, warming up to the upper 80s by late afternoon. Humidity’s still hanging heavy, but northeast breezes will kick up later; it’ll be choppy, but totally fishable, especially early. Local radar from Texas Weather Roundup shows scattered showers possible over the Valley today, particularly near the coast, so a lightweight rain jacket’s wise if you’re planning an all-day outing. Tidewise, we’re swinging around a midday high. According to NOAA, the main incoming tide peaks late morning, easing off after lunch. Plan to get lines out before noon if you want a strong push; that’s when the big ones cruise through, especially at the jetty entrances and cuts. Fish activity? Folks are grinning ear to ear this week—October marks the fall mullet run and everything with fins is gorging. Over at South Padre, big bull redfish have been hammering cut mullet and cracked crab in the surf and jetties all week. Slot reds, some pushing the limit, came in Saturday and Sunday. Whiting, black drum, and a few screaming jack crevalle have been mixed in. On the bay side, trout reports are solid—schoolies on the grass flats near South Bay and Holly Beach, a few gators landed on topwater at dawn. Nearby Port Isabel and Boca Chica flats? Still stacked with slot reds, black drum, and scattered flounder around deeper potholes and drains. North winds lit up the bite over grass in three feet or less; most catches came tight to the mangroves on moving water. If you’re targeting numbers, live shrimp beneath a popping cork didn’t disappoint this week, but Gulp in New Penny or white jerk shads rigged weedless out-fished bait during the major solunar windows. Bull reds couldn’t resist big natural cut bait. Best artificial lures? Locals are running Spooks and Skitterwalks first light for trophy trout, then switching to darker paddle tails like Chicken on a Chain or root beer-chartreuse on a 1/8 oz jig once the sun climbs. For redfish, gold spoons, especially Johnson’s Sprite, have drawn reaction strikes near grass edges and sand pockets. Crab-pattern flies and shrimp imitations are also golden for sight-casters. Two local hot spots stood out this week: - The South Padre Island Jetties—both north and south sides—have been giving up bull reds on an incoming tide, drum and sheepshead off the rocks, and plenty of action with shrimp or finger mullet. - South Bay flats near the mouth of the Arroyo Colorado produced redfish limits on the falling tide, especially where moving water sweeps over grass beds. One late note: don’t overlook the Brownsville Ship Channel, especially around the old docks and deeper ledges.

Weather this morning’s pretty classic for fall—expect patchy clouds, muggy air near 80°F at sunup, warming up to the upper 80s by late afternoon. Humidity’s still hanging heavy, but northeast breezes will kick up later; it’ll be choppy, but totally fishable, especially early. Local radar from Texas Weather Roundup shows scattered showers possible over the Valley today, particularly near the coast, so a lightweight rain jacket’s wise if you’re planning an all-day outing. Tidewise, we’re swinging around a midday high. According to NOAA, the main incoming tide peaks late morning, easing off after lunch. Plan to get lines out before noon if you want a strong push; that’s when the big ones cruise through, especially at the jetty entrances and cuts. Fish activity? Folks are grinning ear to ear this week—October marks the fall mullet run and everything with fins is gorging. Over at South Padre, big bull redfish have been hammering cut mullet and cracked crab in the surf and jetties all week. Slot reds, some pushing the limit, came in Saturday and Sunday. Whiting, black drum, and a few screaming jack crevalle have been mixed in. On the bay side, trout reports are solid—schoolies on the grass flats near South Bay and Holly Beach, a few gators landed on topwater at dawn. Nearby Port Isabel and Boca Chica flats? Still stacked with slot reds, black drum, and scattered flounder around deeper potholes and drains. North winds lit up the bite over grass in three feet or less; most catches came tight to the mangroves on moving water. If you’re targeting numbers, live shrimp beneath a popping cork didn’t disappoint this week, but Gulp in New Penny or white jerk shads rigged weedless out-fished bait during the major solunar windows. Bull reds couldn’t resist big natural cut bait. Best artificial lures? Locals are running Spooks and Skitterwalks first light for trophy trout, then switching to darker paddle tails like Chicken on a Chain or root beer-chartreuse on a 1/8 oz jig once the sun climbs. For redfish, gold spoons, especially Johnson’s Sprite, have drawn reaction strikes near grass edges and sand pockets. Crab-pattern flies and shrimp imitations are also golden for sight-casters. Two local hot spots stood out this week: - The South Padre Island Jetties—both north and south sides—have been giving up bull reds on an incoming tide, drum and sheepshead off the rocks, and plenty of action with shrimp or finger mullet. - South Bay flats near the mouth of the Arroyo Colorado produced redfish limits on the falling tide, especially where moving water sweeps over grass beds. One late note: don’t overlook the Brownsville Ship Channel, especially around the old docks and deeper ledges.

For folks getting lines wet today, October 5, 2025, conditions are shaping up for a classic fall bite on the border. Let’s talk tides first. We’re tracking a low tide coming up mid-morning and high tide late evening, following patterns similar to nearby Arroyo and Port Isabel. Expect a low tide right around breakfast and high tide rolling in shortly after sunset. That means bite windows should heat up predawn to mid-morning and then again as the day cools and water starts rising in the evening. According to fishingreminder.com, the best fishing times for Port Isabel (right on our doorstep) are early morning and twilight—so set your alarms or plan to stick out the evening light for the best shot at action. Weather’s looking mild and pleasant, with light to moderate easterly winds and moderate seas reported by the National Weather Service out of Brownsville. That’s a sweet setup for folks fishing the surf, the jetties, or even heading a bit offshore. Temperatures should hover in the 70s and low 80s through the bulk of the daylight hours, so bring your hat but leave the heavy jackets at home. Sunrise hit at 7:25 AM and sunset will settle in around 7:10 PM tonight, so you’ve got a generous fishing day ahead. Take advantage of that predawn bite—topwater’s been producing with calm conditions. Now, onto what’s biting. This week local anglers and guides have put together stringers of redfish, black drum, and speckled trout, according to recent reports on Captain Experiences. Redfish are pushing inshore in good numbers, especially around the mouths of channels and deeper potholes at South Bay and Boca Chica. Specks are popping around grass edges and current breaks, especially where tides are shuffling mullet and shrimp. The best lures lately have been soft plastics in natural and chartreuse patterns, rigged on 1/8 to 1/4 ounce jigheads. Don’t ignore the effectiveness of live shrimp under popping corks—especially if you’re after trout or drum. When the water’s clear, sight-casting with paddle-tail lures or gold spoons around potholes near South Bay has pulled some solid reds this week. If it’s bait you’re after, fresh cut mullet and live finger mullet have tempted bigger reds and the occasional snook. For those wading the back bays, topwater plugs at first light and just before dusk are getting explosive strikes, particularly along the drop-offs of South Bay and the points near Boca Chica Beach. For hot spots, look no further than: - South Bay: Working grass edges and current-driven flats—fantastic for sight casting. - Boca Chica Beach: Fishing the troughs just off the beach in the evening can produce bull reds as they chase mullet runs. If you’re more the social type, swing by Fisherman's Wharf Marina in Port Isabel for a shot at drum and occasional flounder off the docks, especially during tidal swings.

If you haven’t been out lately, now’s the time—these South Texas fall mornings are crisp, and the bite is turning on with October’s shift. Let’s kick it off with the **weather and tides**. Today, we’re waking up to mild temps in the low 70s, with a slight breeze around 8-12 mph out of the northeast. Dew is clinging to the banks, and humidity’s on the lower end. According to the National Weather Service out of Brownsville, seas in the Lower Laguna Madre are calm, so if you’re putting in at the Arroyo or South Bay, you’ll find easy going on the flats and points. Sunrise hit at 7:24 AM sharp, and you’ve got daylight till sunset at 7:15 PM to chase that limit. These stable early-fall conditions are just right for both bait and predator movement. **Tide-wise,** we saw low tide just before dawn and will get a rising tide through midday, peaking around noon and carrying good movement into the evening. Veteran locals know that the higher tides pull redfish and drum up onto the shallow grass, especially as the mullet start schooling. Now to the **fish activity and what’s been caught**: According to Captain Experiences, anglers have been landing solid numbers of **redfish, black drum, and speckled trout** on recent trips, with several limits filled as the days cool off. The Arroyo Colorado is heating up, and so is the area behind Boca Chica—flats are stacked with slot reds, and trout are holding to sandy potholes. Estuary edges and drop-offs in the lower Rio Grande are also top spots, especially on moving water. Reports show a few oversized drum and a handful of fat flounder have come to the net this week, thanks to the cleaner water. For **lures and bait:** nothing too fancy needed if you know the forage. Gulp! shrimp in new penny or white, rigged on an 1/8-oz jighead, are drawing steady strikes in dirty water. Live finger mullet and shrimp are a ticket to bull reds, especially float-rigged near the channel edges and oyster bars. If you’re swinging plastics, try chartreuse paddle tails (Down South Lures or Bass Assassin) in the bay, and topwater plugs like the Heddon Super Spook Junior for that low-light trout bite just after dawn. Old-timers still swear by cut mullet or crab for big drum, especially on the bottom during that mid-afternoon tide push. Hot spots this week—listen up: - **Arroyo Colorado bridge and flats**: Reliable drum and the morning redfish bite. - **South Bay**: Shallow water action, especially for trout and sight-casting tailing reds at sun up. If bank fishing’s your plan, the public access at Ernesto Gamez Cascade Park or Resaca del Rancho Viejo is giving up largemouth and channel cats on live worms and soft plastics. Remember, local regs still require reds over 28 to be tagged, and trout minimum length is 15 inches.

It’s October 1, 2025, and things are looking mighty fine for anyone looking to wet a line around here. The sun’s pulling up its first cup of coffee over South Texas just about the right time—rise at 7:12 AM, and we’ll be riding home in orange light with sunset at 7:37 PM. Gonna be a solid 12 hours of daylight, though the early risers always have the quietest river to themselves. Now, let’s talk tides—if you’re headed down to South Padre Island today, you’ll want to know the water’s been on its own schedule. According to the tide forecast, there was a bump at 4:00 AM this morning with a 1.23-foot high, then a real low tide at 11:03 AM, and we’ll see another high closer to dusk, 7:08 PM, clocking in at 1.74 feet. That means the fish along the tidal edges—especially those inshore, in the bayous and river mouths around Port Isabel and SPI—are gonna be feeding as water pours in and out. For best luck, target those first couple hours after the tide starts moving in; that’s when trout and reds get active in the flats and channels. Talking fish activity, the Rio Grande and her little brothers—like the Comal River upriver—are seeing a nice variety right now. The Texas Parks and Wildlife all-tackle records for these waters show that folks have been catching some real slabs lately: largemouth bass still packing on the fall feeding frenzy, with recent bigguns topping 9 pounds. Smallmouth and hybrid bass are also on the chew, with 2- to 3-footers gracing the scale—plenty of fight for the angler with the patience to slow roll a worm or drop a crawdad pattern. Catfish, both channel and suckermouth, have been biting, and a fella named Joe R. Olivarez just took a nice 20-inch suckermouth in late 2022. Down in the tidal zone, I’m hearing of both snook and tarpon making their Gulf-side appearance, along with plenty of flounder moving through the passes. Fishing buddies snagging limits are reporting 10-20 fish mornings in the backwaters and up around Falcon Lake, not to mention those lucky cats pulling double digits with the right bait. The word in the bait shop is live shrimp, mullet, and cut bait are all working—especially for the reds and trout that are schooling up near the drop-offs and grass. For bass, a Texas-rigged Berkley PowerBait or a little Texas-rigged pumpkin worm is absolutely murder, just hop it slow near the rocks and ledges and be ready for a thump. For topwater action at dawn or dusk, you can’t beat a Heddon Spook or a Rapala X-Rap, especially in the shallows after that morning low tide. Now, for the hot spots: If you’re after river action, hit the deep holes and riprap around Roma and Rio Grande City—the water’s still warm, and those bass are stacked up waiting for something to fall in. For tidal and inshore, Los Fresnos Bayou and the mouthlands near Port Isabel are red-hot right now as the tide comes in, with lots of surface action and plenty of tailing redfish.

It’s early fall in the Valley—here’s what you need to know before you hitch up the boat or grab your waders. The weather’s set to be typical South Texas: warm and muggy at sunrise, climbing into the upper 80s by midafternoon. The winds are forecast to start light out of the southeast, picking up a little after lunch. Skies will be mostly clear, and the high humidity after last week's spotty showers ought to keep fish moving up into the shallow pockets, especially at first and last light. Sunrise is just after 7:20 AM, and sunset’ll be right about 7:22 PM. If you’re banking on those twilight bites, you’ll want to have a rod in your hand as the colors start showing over the brush. According to tide-forecast.com, if you’re chasing redfish, drum, or trout on the Lower Laguna, you’ll see a low tide around 4:40 AM, rising to a 1.3-foot high tide late afternoon before drifting back out. Tidal changes like this are always prime—fish those outgoing edges for aggressive feeders. Recent catches reported by locals and online channels show a strong mix of species. Folks have been landing channel catfish, blue cats, and the famous Rio Grande cichlid—great on light setups near the brush and between the riprap. Out on the main river, expect largemouth bass, white bass, and sunfish. For those chunking into intertidal waters and bay systems closer to the mouth, slot reds and speckled trout are lighting up the reports, with a few drum and scattered flounder. Best baits lately have been pretty classic South Texas fare: try live minnows or fresh cut shad if you can net 'em. For artificial, tie on a chartreuse or white paddle-tail on a quarter-ounce jighead. Early morning is prime time for topwater—a bone Super Spook Jr. or a silver Zara Puppy can draw crushing strikes along reed lines before the sun’s too high. Along the deeper banks and channels, slow-rolled spinnerbaits and Texas-rigged worm or creature baits in watermelon or black/blue have drawn out most of the better bass. For the Rio Grande cichlid and sunfish, use bits of worm or crickets under a small float—they’re still stacked up in current seams and shady pockets. Ultrlight setups make those guys a real thrill, and the cichlids especially have been biting right through midday in slower-moving runs. A couple of hot spots to try: - Port of Brownsville spillway for a mixed bag—catfish, gar, and solid bass have been caught this week. - Falcon Lake, just upriver, continues to deliver big bass, especially around submerged timber and ledges. - For redfish and trout, work the shallow grass flats and dropoffs near Boca Chica, especially on that incoming tide right before noon. Remember, always keep an eye out for shifting currents and unexpected weather, and handle those native fish with care—Rio Grande cichlids are a Texas treasure.

Sunrise had us on the water by 7:23 AM, with sunset coming at 7:29 PM—a good 12 hours to get after ‘em. Locals woke up to a gentle southeast breeze, temps hovering in the low 70s at dawn and climbing toward the mid 80s by afternoon. Light clouds this morning, hoping to burn off by noon, and that means both shade lines and structure are top priorities. According to SaltwaterRecon’s regional forecast, the tides will be outgoing until about noon and then swinging back in—plan your flats fishing around that push for the best shot at redfish and drum. Now, onto the fish. This past week, much of the action has centered around the lower Rio Grande, backwater cuts, and oxbow lakes. Recent trips, as reported by Captain Experiences, have seen solid numbers of redfish caught up shallow—plenty of slot reds, with a few needing a tag. Big drum have been spotted tailing alongside them, especially around Laguna Atascosa flats. Don’t overlook the hybrid striped bass and channel catfish around the deeper river bends; cut bait and live shad have accounted for some nice fish in the last 48 hours. On the freshwater side, Texas Parks & Wildlife records from 2024-25 reflect catches of Rio Grande cichlid, Guadalupe bass, and blue catfish. The cichlid bite continues to be reliable on worms and crawfish imitations in the lush weed pockets. Largemouth bass up to 7 pounds have been coming on black goober bugs and foam spiders early, shifting to soft plastics and spinnerbaits as the sun climbs. Your best bets today: - For **redfish** and **black drum**: Dead shrimp or live mullet under a popping cork. If you’re throwing artificials, a chartreuse paddle-tail or gold spoon is hard to beat during that moving water window late morning. - For **largemouth bass** and **Guadalupe bass**: Early is topwater time—try buzzbaits, poppers, or a classic black foam spider. As light angles steepen, slow-roll a watermelon Senko or swap to a Texas-rigged lizard. - For **channel and blue catfish**: Cut bait, chicken liver, or even bluegill chunks are working around brush piles and dropoffs. Nightcrawlers have picked up both big cats and freshwater drum. - For the **Rio Grande cichlid**: Bits of worm, small jigs, or a Briminator fly pattern will fill your stringer in the slackwater and edges. As for hotspots: - Boca Chica flats, especially the southern edges near the mouth, have been producing reds and drum on that incoming tide. - The Falcon Dam tailrace is a catfish magnet after a rain, so with the week’s cooler weather you can expect bite windows to open up as temps stabilize. - Don’t skip the Arroyo Colorado cutoff; hybrid stripers and panfish are biting around submerged brush and inlets. Top lures and baits this week, pulled from both recent catches and historic TPWD records: Mepps Aglias for bluegill and hybrids, Prince Nymphs and crawfish Briminator flies for cichlid and panfish, gold s This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you’re throwing artificials, a chartreuse paddle-tail or gold spoon is hard to beat during that moving water window late morning. - For **largemouth bass** and **Guadalupe bass**: Early is topwater time—try buzzbaits, poppers, or a classic black foam spider. As light angles steepen, slow-roll a watermelon Senko or swap to a Texas-rigged lizard. - For **channel and blue catfish**: Cut bait, chicken liver, or even bluegill chunks are working around brush piles and dropoffs. Nightcrawlers have picked up both big cats and freshwater drum. - For the **Rio Grande cichlid**: Bits of worm, small jigs, or a Briminator fly pattern will fill your stringer in the slackwater and edges. As for hotspots: - Boca Chica flats, especially the southern edges near the mouth, have been producing reds and drum on that incoming tide. - The Falcon Dam tailrace is a catfish magnet after a rain, so with the week’s cooler weather you can expect bite windows to open up as temps stabilize. - Don’t skip the Arroyo Colorado cutoff; hybrid stripers and panfish are biting around submerged brush and inlets.

We’ve got a muggy start down here, temps already working their way into the low 80s and heat indexes pushing up fast—expect high heat into the upper 90s today, so bring plenty of ice and water, especially if you’re beating the banks or braving the sun out on Falcon. Winds are rolling out of the southeast at 10 to 15 knots this morning according to MarineWeather.net, so your drift will be decent but not unmanageable. Offshore, look for 2 to 3 foot seas and an off-and-on chance of a quick thundershower rolling through, especially in the midafternoon, so pack a slicker and keep your eye on the sky. These humid, overcast mornings and scattered showers often mean active feeding windows, so be ready when bait starts popping near the shallows or structure. Recent action from local guides and daily reports from Texas Parks and Wildlife say the cooling trend hasn’t kicked in yet, but fish are on the move. Falcon Lake water sits around 85°F and the levels are about 47 feet below pool—still low, so watch for rocks and stay mainly to marked channels or well-known drops. Catfish have been fair to good on the main lake points and in shallow timber; fish 5–10 feet using fresh-cut shad, tilapia, or even store-bought shrimp. Shrimp and stinkbait are pulling in solid keeper catfish up shallow—look for shaded timber in 3–5 feet. If you’re targeting **alligator gar**, fresh carp or tilapia cut bait is producing well on rod and reel, especially along mud banks. Bass folks, you’ve got good shots in 8–20 feet off hard bottoms—plenty of bites coming on Texas-rigged plastic worms, crankbaits run along rocky points, and spinnerbaits just at daylight. Early and late, hit the shallows above submerged rocks or brush with square bills, then back out a bit deeper as the sun climbs and water heats up. Don’t sleep on Carolina rigs close to channel drops or creek mouths either. Word from several recent guide trips is that variety’s the name of the game if you’re flexible—anglers this week put multiple species in the box, including largemouth, catfish, drum, gar, and the occasional big hybrid or white bass when working deeper humps with heavy spoons and jigs. One group even tangled with a tarpon near the river mouth on heavy gear—have to say that’s rare but just goes to show what the Rio can produce if you’re persistent and a little bit lucky. Top baits right now: - **Catfish**: Fresh shad, cut bait, shrimp, and stinkbait in the timber and points - **Bass**: Watermelon or green pumpkin plastics, deep and medium diving crankbaits, chartreuse/white spinnerbaits, and black/blue jigs - **Gar & Drum**: Cut tilapia or carp Best lures run with solid color contrast thanks to the stained water—chartreuse, black, and deep blues are killer.

We're kicking off the morning with sunrise at 7:11 AM and expecting sunset around 7:45 PM—giving us over 12 hours of daylight to wet a line. Weather's shaping up fine: National Weather Service Brownsville says we’ve got light to moderate east winds today, starting at 5 to 10 knots in the morning, ramping up to 10 to 15 knots by afternoon. Bay conditions will be moderately choppy, with a chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms, so pack your slicker and keep an eye on the sky just in case. On the tidal front, NOAA Tides & Currents shows a high tide right at 3:52 AM (2.64 ft), a low at 10:36 AM (0.75 ft), then another high approaching late afternoon. Solunar Forecast rates fish activity as above average, with major bites expected from about 4:04 to 6:04 AM and again between 4:35 and 6:35 PM. Those overlapping late afternoon tides and solunar peaks mean the evening bite should be strong, especially as winds lay down. Hot spots to hit today: the jetties at Boca Chica Beach are always productive, and near the mouth of the river at Isla Blanca Park is holding good water clarity and bait right now. For the bay anglers, the flats along South Bay and the spoil islands near the shipping channel are producing trout and reds. Recent catches have been solid. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, catfish action is heating up with blues over 20 pounds landed this week. Folks are pulling in solid numbers of channel and flathead catfish on rods and drop lines, especially upriver near the Falcon Reservoir. The lower reaches have given up some big drum and a few bonus alligator gar in the deep holes. Largemouth and Guadalupe bass are active, sticking to submerged brush and rocky structure—several anglers reported fish over 3 pounds after sundown. Bait and lure choice matters today. For saltwater, try live shrimp or cut mullet to tempt specks and reds. Soft plastics—down south paddletails in new penny or glow—are putting fish in the box, especially during tidal swings. Topwater lures like the Super Spook or Skitter Walk are getting explosive strikes along grass lines and during early light, so don’t forget to work those at dawn and dusk. Freshwater anglers should run stink bait and chicken liver for catfish, or pitch chartreuse tube jigs and crawfish cranks for bass and sunfish. Rio Grande cichlids are feisty this time of year; a small piece of worm or shrimp under a cork around rocky bank structure will find you a fighting fish, and the occasional slab bluegill. Flathead catfish are best caught with live perch or sunfish on the bottom, especially after dark. For those hunting a trophy, targeting deeper mid-channel ledges with big cut bait or live mullet is producing some impressive gar and buffalo. With some stained runoff pushing through the system, don’t be afraid to upsize your offering for visibility.

The day started off muggy and warm, with temps near 80 at sunrise and creeping into the low 90s by late afternoon. We had a light southeast breeze rolling in from the Gulf, which picked up a bit by lunch but nothing too rough—pretty near perfect for folks drifting the deeper outside bends or working the edges in the backwaters. According to timeanddate.com, our sunrise today was at 7:22 AM, and sunset’s coming at 7:32 PM, giving us fat daylight hours for working every stretch of the river and the nearby resacas. On the tidal side, the Rio Grande’s not classic tidal water, but the lower stretch near the Boca Chica and Brownsville ports gets brackish at times, and water levels can be influenced by the Gulf’s pushes and wind-blown currents. Today, there’s a slight uptrend in water level mid-morning, then a gentle drop toward late afternoon—prime windows for both bait and predator fish activity. Let’s talk fish. This morning, action was steady—anglers at public spots like the launch by Chimney Park in Mission reported hauling in a mix of largemouth bass and freshwater drum (local folks call ’em gaspergou) using finesse rigs on BFS tackle. Bass were hitting better right after first light, mostly on weightless soft plastics and small crankbaits. Drum came later in the morning with cut shad and craw chunks on the bottom. Folks drifting slow along the edge also picked up a couple of nice channel cats—nothing epic, but solid eaters in the 2–4 pound range. More toward Brownsville, guides running the lower Rio Grande said red drum, spotted seatrout, and flounder remained the hot ticket near the river’s mouth and the connecting tidal flats this week. Several groups hauled in reds into the upper 20-inch range and a few lucky anglers fought flounder over 16 inches close to the jetties. Good numbers were caught, mostly mid-morning and then again toward dusk. Live shrimp under popping corks was the top producer, but chartreuse paddle-tail plastics and gold spoons both performed well when there was a bit more wind or a ripple on the surface. According to Captain Experiences, their reviews from this weekend rave about "stud fish all day" and "action packed" trips both inshore and nearshore, with guides putting novice and experienced anglers on the fish right away. If you’re heading out, my advice: - **Best lures for bass and drum:** Watermelon red flake soft plastics, small natural-colored crankbaits, and for drum, cut bait or soft craw imitations on the bottom. If the water is a little stained, go brighter or add a rattle. - **For the lower river and mingled brackish stretches:** Gold spoons, Gulp! shrimp imitations, and paddle-tail swimbaits in chartreuse or white are bringing in slot reds and flounder. - **Best bait right now:** Live shrimp if you can get it, followed by finger mullet, cut shad, or chicken liver for cats and drum.

This morning along the Rio Grande and out toward South Padre, we’re starting the day with clear, muggy skies and a light breeze—classic early fall border weather. A slight humidity break has rolled in, but expect highs up near 90 by mid-afternoon. Sunrise was at 7:17 a.m. and we’ll see sunset about 7:23 p.m. On the tide front, South Padre is your closest major gauge. We had an early high tide around 3:22 a.m. with that water dropping out for a low tide at 10:10 a.m., then it’s swinging back up for a solid high at 5:58 p.m., which lines up beautifully for a prime evening bite. Fish are likely to move up onto the flats and edges as the tide pushes in after 4 p.m., so have your gear ready around dusk. Angler chatter this week out of the Valley says redfish are schooling in the lower Laguna Madre, with kayak and wade fishermen reporting generous slots in the 22–26 inch range near Adolph Thomae Park and along Gas Well Flats. Most catches are coming on gold spoons and white paddle-tail plastics, especially right as tidal water begins moving over the grass. There’s still some trout hanging in deeper potholes—look for slicks, especially on the evening incoming. MirrOlure soft-dines in natural and chartreuse shades are producing, along with live shrimp under popping corks if you’re anchored up. Catfish and common carp have been popping up in the freshwater stretches of the Rio Grande just outside town. Just last week, a local landed a 7.5-pound common carp using corn about two miles downstream of Mission, and blue catfish in the 4–6 pound range have been steady—nightcrawlers or cut shad are your go-to baits for those[Texas Parks and Wildlife freshwater records]. For panfish, the cichlids are still active, biting well on small jigs and worms. Early mornings near overhanging brush or any shaded bank should give you a mixed bag of sunfish, redbreast and warmouth. Reports from Harlingen and Bayview suggest solid white bass action right at sunrise, especially where incoming freshwater mingles at the reservoirs—small crankbaits and silver spoons are drawing strikes. If you want a little variety, some anglers have been hitting tilapia and hybrid stripers with surprising luck using small, flashy spinners and dough bait. For lure selection, locals recommend gold and copper spoons, white/glow paddle tails, and topwaters in mullet pattern for those first hour and last hour windows. Live shrimp remain king if you can get ‘em, otherwise Gulp! swimming mullet in new penny or chartreuse is almost as good. For carp and catfish, nothing beats fresh cut bait, chicken liver, or even a wad of cheese bait. Two can’t-miss hotspots right now: - **Adolph Thomae Jr. County Park**: Consistent redfish on incoming tide, with the occasional fat trout.

Let’s get you dialed in for a productive trip on the water today. Starting with the weather, National Weather Service reports a classic mid-September forecast: muggy at daybreak, about 78 degrees, climbing up to the low 90s by midafternoon with southeast winds around 10-15 mph. Skies will be partly cloudy, with a stiff breeze stirring by lunch—so get your surface action in early. Sunrise came at 7:22 a.m., sunset will be at 7:36 p.m., giving you a solid window to chase ‘em. Tidal movement in South Texas today is moderate, mirroring what the Port Isabel and Boca Chica gauges show: we’ve got a low tide early morning, bottoming out around 7:00 a.m., before a rising tide leads up to a high right after noon. That means ambush feeders will be on the move both early and late, so work those drop-offs and drains as the water pushes up. As for the fishing, reports from local guides and tackle shops in Brownsville and Rio Grande City say the action’s been steady but picky, thanks to the recent rains coloring up the water. Anglers working the backwater resacas and the river itself have been finding plenty of **channel and blue catfish**. Best reports came from fresh-cut shad, chicken liver, and stink bait fished from the bottom, especially just upstream of community boat ramps and under the shade of old bridges. San Martin Lake and the lower Rio, including the famed San Juan bend, have given up some chunky **largemouth bass**. Best action was early—try a **Texas-rigged soft plastic**, green pumpkin or watermelon red working best, particularly close to lilly pads and submerged logs. Buzzbaits at first light produced a few bonus strikes for those putting in time before the wind picks up. The native **Rio Grande perch (cichlid)** are biting too—grab a light ultralight rod, tip with red worms or a small chartreuse jig, and you’re likely to tangle with Texas’ only native cichlid near brushy banks and around downed timber. On the saltier side closer to South Bay, up the Arroyo Colorado or around Boca Chica, local wade anglers checked in with solid numbers of **speckled trout and redfish**, especially on a rising tide. The ticket’s been downsized paddle-tail plastics in white or new penny fished under popping corks. Live shrimp under a cork accounted for most of the keepers, especially for the trout that’ve been a touch finicky. Hot Spots? For cats and perch, hit the El Jardín launch just downstream of Brownsville, or fish shorelines between Hidalgo and Rio Grande City where there’s riprap or sunken brush. Bass fans have done best near El Sauz and San Martin Lake early and late. For a shot at inshore reds and trout, the mouth of the Arroyo Colorado near Adolph Thomae Park is primed for the dropping tide.

First light cracked at 7:27 AM today, and the sun will duck behind the mesquite and willows right around 7:39 PM. We’re working with about 12 hours and 12 minutes of daylight. The weather’s holding steady—expect temps to start mild in the low 70s at sunrise, climbing to the mid 80s by early afternoon, with a touch of humidity hanging over the river. Conditions are calm this morning, and the wind will stay pretty light—classic early fall on the border. The major fishing windows today are shaping up from about 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, with a minor but very fishable burst from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. Lunar conditions feature a thin waxing crescent, so while the moon won’t drive the bite, the cool snap before sunrise and that peak afternoon spell should get fish moving. Tidal influence on the fresh side of the Rio isn’t pronounced, but down towards the brackish mix at Falcon Lake and Boca Chica, you’ll notice it more—expect a slight push around mid-afternoon according to solunar tables from Solunar Forecast. Recent catches in these waters have been solid, with folks reporting healthy numbers of blue and channel catfish, especially around structure and deeper holes. Channel cats up to 5-7 lbs are hitting consistently on cut shad and stink bait. Largemouth bass are moving a bit shallow at dawn and dusk—soft plastics like white flukes, watermelon worms, and flashy spinnerbaits are drawing nice strikes right along the reeds and undercut banks. Downstream, the Rio Grande cichlid is stacking up in rocky runs and small eddies—live worms or little beetle spins are your ticket there. White bass activity has picked up just east of Fort Ringgold, with a few anglers pulling in doubles on small silver spoons and Rooster Tails at first light. Sunfish—bluegill and redear—are always dependable along gravel bars and brush piles, especially with bits of nightcrawler or crickets. The occasional freshwater drum has been caught below weirs and dams, especially when using shrimp—word is, a big one topped 10 lbs this past week. Hot spots today? If you’re sticking close to town, hit the boat launch at Roma Bend for cats and bass. The deep brush just downstream of the city park is producing consistently. For bass and panfish, the La Bota area offers quieter water and good shoreline access. Falcon Lake, south of Zapata, is still a big draw for serious bass anglers, with the north end coves giving up 3- to 5-pounders this week. Best baits: for catfish, nothing beats fresh-cut shad or punch bait. For bass, go with rattling crankbaits in shad or chartreuse patterns, or Twitch a pearl Super Fluke near submerged timber. If you’re targeting Rio Grande cichlid or sunfish, small live worms or a 1/16-oz Beetle Spin will get bites all morning.

It’s another beautiful morning down south, and locals are already out chasing that early bite. Sunrise today came at 7:18 AM with sunset expected at 7:40 PM, so you’ve got a long window for plenty of casts. According to Weather.com and the NOAA, we’ve got mild temps this morning around 75°F, heading up to near 90°F by mid-afternoon. Light winds from the east make for excellent casting and manageable drift. Skies are mostly clear, with just a chance of a pop-up shower this afternoon—classic Lower Valley conditions. Tides are moderate. The nearest coastal tide table at South Padre puts high tide mid-morning and low tide late afternoon, which means river flow’s steady and backwaters are holding pools—prime habitat for resident species. Fish activity is solid. Over the past week, anglers are reporting steady action on Rio Grande cichlid and bluegill right up in the shallows, especially in the slower pools and side channels. Worm and crappie jigs have been the go-to. Down deeper, channel catfish and blue cats are still coming to cut bait and commercially prepared dough baits, especially after sundown. Texas Parks & Wildlife recent records show common carp running big—Javier Padron landed a 28.35-pounder in January—and flathead cats up to 62 pounds caught in the last decade, so there are monsters lurking. Channel catfish near 20 pounds aren’t unheard of, especially near submerged brush on trotlines or with fresh liver. The bass bite is picking up with the slightly cooler nights. Largemouth up to 6 pounds have been reported around Falcon Lake edges using standard Texas rigs and watermelon soft plastics. Early birds are getting bit on topwater poppers and chatterbaits. Smaller Guadalupe bass and their hybrids are active as well, keying in on crawfish imitations and hair jigs. If you’re looking for a mixed bag, white bass and sunfish are still biting midday on small inline spinners, and crappie will take a minnow if you find a good laydown. For fly folks, a crawfish briminator or woolly bugger in olive or black has been dynamite for cichlids and sunfish; try it near riprap or root balls. Best baits this week: - **Live worms** and **nightcrawlers** for panfish and cichlids - **Chicken liver** and **fresh cut shad** for catfish - **Soft plastics** in pumpkinseed or watermelon for largemouth bass - **Crappie jigs** and **roadrunners** for slabs - **Small poppers or Clouser minnows** for fly anglers Hot spots? Above Falcon Dam is always worth a look, especially rocky banks and flooded timber. The Roma Bluffs stretch is producing steady catches for shore anglers—look for deeper holes just off main channel drops.

We’re stepping into the tail-end of summer, and you can feel it in the muggy air before sunrise—humidity’s up and the bite has been, too. Start was right around 7:15 am, with sunrise hitting at 7:20. Sunset tonight will be 7:46, so there’s plenty of time for after-work casts. The north wind started out light, before heating up into the high 80s and climbing toward the low 90s by afternoon. Mostly sunny skies and moderate gusts—standard early September, nothing to spook the fish. Tide predictions from NOAA and local tide charts show we had a medium low at 6:25 am and the incoming started to build late morning, heading to a modest high around 4:10 pm. Fish activity is picking up on that rising tide, especially in the brushy bends with cooler inlets. Let’s talk catch reports. Down near Falcon Lake and out at historic hot spots like Santa Margarita and Chapote—anglers are filling coolers with **blue catfish and flatheads**, especially running cut shad and chicken liver. Flats below the weirs on the Rio Grande itself are still producing nice channel cats, with several reports of double-digit catches just yesterday. **Largemouth bass** are holding along the submerged structure and slow-rolling spinnerbaits near first light gets them riled up—local folks are favoring white/chartreuse or dark green plastics, rigged Texas-style. **Rio Grande cichlids** and big bluegill are stacked in the shallows on worms, especially late afternoon. If you want something more “exotic,” reports of tilapia are getting better as the rivers warm, especially on small spoons and worms. Word is, a couple of bow anglers nabbed tilapia pushing 3-4 pounds near Zapata this week. Don’t overlook sunfish and crappie—smaller Mepps Aglia in gold or black on ultralight, or just a plain red worm, kept rods bent for folks bank-fishing around boat ramps and tree lines. Best baits right now: - Cut shad and chicken liver for cats. - Live worms and nightcrawlers for panfish and cichlids. - Top-water frogs early, dark plastics or spinnerbaits for bass. - Beetle Spins and spoons for tilapia and white bass. Locals are still loyal to some trusty artificials—Black Goober Bug for bluegill, briminators for cichlids, and wooly buggers or clousers if you’re slinging flies. Top two hot spots: - The **San Ygnacio boat ramp area:** easy bank access, lots of submerged timber—morning bite is best here. - The **Zapata County Park cove:** edges are loaded with structure and baitfish. Great for families and the evening bite really lights up with the outgoing tide. If you’re after lunkers, drift-fish the deeper runs and channel edges late afternoon as the sun drops—the transition triggers those bigger cats and bass to roam. Water level’s holding steady and clarity is decent, but if you get a little storm runoff, expect those cats to move up shallow fast.

Today’s skies are clearing, but anglers might still contend with a bit of runoff and stained water from the fresh rain. Winds are expected to calm down through midday, so it’ll be safe and manageable to get out on the water, just keep an eye on any debris or floating obstacles from those overnight storms. For those heading to the coast or down to South Padre, the tide’s working in our favor for morning and evening fishing. According to Tide-Forecast.com, high tide hit at 4:00 AM and will rise again at 7:08 PM, with a low at 11:03 AM today. Sunrise was at 7:12 AM and sunset’s coming up at 7:37 PM—those are your prime windows for topwater action and sight fishing along the flats. Fish activity should be solid this morning, especially with that post-storm cool down and high oxygen flow. Reports from Today We Fish Charter and Adventures out of South Padre Island say Speckled Trout have been biting well on the grass flats using live croaker and shrimp, with solid numbers coming in by drifting or anchoring along drop-offs in the Laguna Madre bay system. Redfish are roaming a bit deeper, often staging up near spoil islands and channels, so target them with gold spoons, soft plastics on quarter-ounce jig heads, or cut mullet if you’re soaking bait. Recent charters in the area have had customers “limiting out” on trout quickly—Logan H. shared on Captain Experiences that they filled the box and still found time to tangle with a “bully red,” all inside of a couple hours. The key was moving with the bait schools and staying patient during tide transitions. Captain Raymond is getting high marks for putting anglers right on the fish and having tackle ready for all experience levels. For locals hitting the river proper, look for catfish tight to structure on cut shad or stink bait, especially with the river stirred up after the storms. Early risers have been rewarded with channel cats and the odd blue working the deeper holes close to Falcon Dam and up by the confluence with Arroyo Colorado. If you’re chasing numbers and quality, two hotspots worth hitting today are: - The Salinity Barrier flats, just east of Port Isabel—great for morning trout and redfish on topwaters like the Super Spook Jr. in bone color, plus soft plastics in new penny or chartreuse, especially as the sun gets higher. - South Bay Channel edges and the shallows outside Boca Chica—redfish and the occasional snook have been caught here lately, especially using paddle tail swimbaits and live finger mullet drifted along grassy drop-offs.

Today’s forecast is a sweet one for anglers across the region. According to the National Weather Service in Brownsville, we’re expecting light winds out of the southwest at 5 knots early, swinging around southeast as we move into the afternoon. The bay will have a gentle chop—just enough to keep things interesting—and out in the Gulf, seas are running an easy 1 to 2 feet, perfect for bay boats and flats skiffs alike. The weather is classic late-summer coastal Texas: warm and humid, with a light breeze and only a slight chance of a passing thunderstorm late in the day. Sunrise was at 7:14 AM this morning, and you’ll get your last casts in until just past 7:45 PM tonight. Tides are moderate with a low just before dawn and the incoming pushing through the morning hours—prime time for redfish and speckled trout around the spoil banks and creek mouths. Hot, humid, and a little water movement means the fish should be moving up onto the flats to hunt. In recent days, anglers working the shrimp boats and nearshore rigs have reported good numbers of slot reds and speckled trout, especially around the South Bay and Boca Chica flats. Some solid flounder are starting to show in the deep cuts as they transition for the fall run. Those drifting the Laguna Madre are also reporting limits of trout in the early morning on bone and chartreuse soft plastics. Folks hitting the Rio Grande itself have landed some nice channel cats on cut shad and stinkbait, plus a few gar for those looking to tangle with something toothy. As for lures, patterns have held steady this week. Your best bet is going to be a quarter-ounce jighead rigged with a soft plastic in chartreuse with red flake, or a shrimp imitation under a popping cork if you’re targeting pockets of deeper water or working the grass edges. For topwater action, especially in the low light of dawn, chrome or bone-colored walking baits like the classic Super Spook are drawing solid blowups from trout and redfish alike. Cut mullet and live finger mullet have been the ticket for the bigger slot reds along the deeper drop-offs. Bay fishermen are also seeing success with live shrimp, especially under a popping cork near the spoil islands and along the deeper grass beds. Those looking for a mixed bag in the river itself should stick with chicken livers or cut bait for catfish, and inline spinners or crankbaits if you’re after bass or gar. If you’re looking for hot spots, make a run out to South Bay just north of Boca Chica or slide over to the Port Isabel side, working the flats near the causeway or even trying your luck at Pirate’s Landing Fishing Pier in Port Isabel—the longest pier in Texas and a local favorite for a reason.

No small craft advisories needed, with Gulf wave heights only 1 to 2 feet, perfect for kayak and skiff fishing according to National Weather Service Brownsville. Keep an eye out for a slight chance of pop-up showers later in the evening, especially if you stick around after sunset. **Tides around South Padre Island** run out and back today: High tide hit at 4:51 AM, and you’ll get an outgoing tide pushing through mid-morning. Low tide drops around 11:03 AM, with another peak rolling in at 7:08 PM. Plan to target the deeper cuts and current edges during those moving water windows, particularly on the outgoing. **Sunrise was at 7:12 AM and sunset comes in at 7:37 PM.** Early risers and late evening prowlers should see optimal fish movement near those changes. Around these parts, the daylight transitions get the bait popping and predators on the move. **The bite has been hot for late summer.** Local catch reports this week say trout and redfish are showing up strong in the flats and channels, with a few slot snook sighted near brackish outflows. Plenty of schoolie speckled trout are being reeled in at daybreak using live shrimp under popping corks and soft plastics—something like a white paddletail or chartreuse grub. Redfish are staging near sand pockets and grass lines; gold spoons, live mullet, or crab chunks have fooled a handful of upper-slot reds, especially as they nose around getting ready for fall. **Inshore, the drum are tailing in the shallows, mostly caught on fresh dead shrimp or cracked crab.** Evening sessions have landed flounder for lucky anglers working slow-rolled curly tails close to structure. Out at the jetties, Spanish mackerel are zipping through—silver spoons and flashy sabiki rigs do best if you want fast action. If you’re chasing the elusive snook, try a live finger mullet or a rootbeer soft jerkbait on a Texas rig, worked around the pilings and mangroves. **Bait shops in Brownsville and Port Isabel report steady sales of live shrimp, mullet, and mud minnows.** For lures, locals favor plum/chartreuse and cocaho minnow colors for plastics. Topwater fans: early morning is your window for walk-the-dog style plugs—bone or chrome colors imitate the local baitfish and trigger explosive strikes in calm water. **Hot spots today:** - The mouth of Arroyo Colorado is turning over quality trout and redfish during the early tide swing. - Boca Chica Beach flats, especially near deeper potholes and grass beds, are prime for redfish and drum, with good action reported near SpaceX Starbase access ed This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Keep an eye out for a slight chance of pop-up showers later in the evening, especially if you stick around after sunset. **Tides around South Padre Island** run out and back today: High tide hit at 4:51 AM, and you’ll get an outgoing tide pushing through mid-morning. Low tide drops around 11:03 AM, with another peak rolling in at 7:08 PM. Plan to target the deeper cuts and current edges during those moving water windows, particularly on the outgoing. **Sunrise was at 7:12 AM and sunset comes in at 7:37 PM.** Early risers and late evening prowlers should see optimal fish movement near those changes. Around these parts, the daylight transitions get the bait popping and predators on the move. **The bite has been hot for late summer.** Local catch reports this week say trout and redfish are showing up strong in the flats and channels, with a few slot snook sighted near brackish outflows. Plenty of schoolie speckled trout are being reeled in at daybreak using live shrimp under popping corks and soft plastics—something like a white paddletail or chartreuse grub. Redfish are staging near sand pockets and grass lines; gold spoons, live mullet, or crab chunks have fooled a handful of upper-slot reds, especially as they nose around getting ready for fall. **Inshore, the drum are tailing in the shallows, mostly caught on fresh dead shrimp or cracked crab.** Evening sessions have landed flounder for lucky anglers working slow-rolled curly tails close to structure. Out at the jetties, Spanish mackerel are zipping through—silver spoons and flashy sabiki rigs do best if you want fast action. If you’re chasing the elusive snook, try a live finger mullet or a rootbeer soft jerkbait on a Texas rig, worked around the pilings and mangroves. **Bait shops in Brownsville and Port Isabel report steady sales of live shrimp, mullet, and mud minnows.** For lures, locals favor plum/chartreuse and cocaho minnow colors for plastics. Topwater fans: early morning is your window for walk-the-dog style plugs—bone or chrome colors imitate the local baitfish and trigger explosive strikes in calm water. **Hot spots today:** - The mouth of Arroyo Colorado is turning over quality trout and redfish during the early tide swing. - Boca Chica Beach flats, especially near deeper potholes and grass beds, are prime for redfish and drum, with good action reported near SpaceX Starbase access ed This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 265 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI1678889002 This is Artificial Lure reporting in from Rio Grande, Texas, on this fine Friday, September 5th, 2025. If you’re grabbing your rods and rigs today, you’re in for classic end-of-summer South Texas fishing—let’s get right to it. We saw sunrise at 7:12 AM, with sunset lining up at 7:42 PM—giving anglers a prime, long window for both morning and evening bites. Tidal action today mimics patterns in the Arroyo Colorado region, with a low tide expected late morning and the high rolling in late tonight. These shifting tides are perfect for working the shallow flats and inlets, especially as the water moves—timing your casts around these swings usually brings more strikes according to Tide-Forecast.com. Weather-wise, National Weather Service Brownsville is calling for light winds out of the southeast, picking up just a notch by the afternoon and making for small, manageable chop on Laguna Madre and the lower Gulf. If you’re drifting the bay, you’ll see easy conditions, though the evening may usher in a few isolated thunderstorms. Don’t let the chance of scattered showers chase you off but keep an eye on the horizon. Fish activity is amping up with the stable pressure and warm water. Locals are reporting good numbers on the inshore red drum and speckled trout. Plenty of slot reds have been coming in at the docks this week—most caught on live mullet or mud minnows, with a healthy share falling for paddle-tail soft plastics in root beer or chartreuse. Trout action has stayed strong at first light and just before dusk, especially over grass and potholes near the Port Isabel and Holly Beach grass beds. If you’re looking for the best chance, here are a couple of hot spots: - The flats at South Bay are firing, especially on the falling tide—schooling reds and the odd flounder tucked in along the drop-offs. - The spoil banks near the Rio Grande river mouth are holding plenty of feeding specks, and folks tossing croaker or glow shrimp under popping corks are having a field day. For lures, go with gold spoons or topwater plugs like a bone Super Spook early when the water is calm. Once the wind and boat noise pick up, switch to soft plastics on a ⅛ oz jighead or work a paddle-tail along the current edges. Cut bait works near the jetties for bull reds, but artificials are stealing the show with active fish. Offshore, snapper are still hanging around structure in 60-80’ of water, and smaller kingfish have been showing on ribbon fish trolled just south of the jetties. Live shrimp is still the MVP at the pier for mixed bags—sheepshead, black drum, and even a few late-summer snook. Be mindful of the ongoing drought conditions—some water levels are still low upstream, but the estuary and bays around Rio Grande remain flush and healthy, keeping the backwater bite active. The crowds will thin as school starts back up, so it’s a perfect time to explore shallow structures or drift the lesser-pressured mangrove islands.

No rain to shake things up—but that's good news for consistent fishing, with steady river levels and clearer water. Tide-wise, the river’s not tidal this far upriver, but folks chasing action toward the Boca Chica mouth or in nearby Laguna Madre have seen low tides through the morning and a moderate push high mid-afternoon, according to Captain Experiences' guide network. That’s given waders and bank anglers a shot at the drop-offs and channel edges while boaters are sliding into skinny water just as things heat up. The water’s running a little low this week as reported by Inside Climate News, with regional drought pressing flows and the ongoing legal wranglings over water rights in the news. Still, there’s enough moving current to stir up feeding activity—especially at dawn and dusk, when the heat eases and baitfish move into the shallows. Fishing’s been mixed but plenty promising. Catfish have continued to bite along deeper holes and under the shade of old cypress stumps near Rio Grande City and Roma. Bigger blue cats and the occasional flathead are taking fresh-cut shad and small sunfish on heavy rigs, with nighttime soaking especially productive. Bass anglers are finding largemouth still cooperative, especially early—best on watermelon or black soft plastics worked around submerged structure, and topwater frogs or buzzbaits thrown near the grassy banks. Some nice fish in the 2–3-pound class are being caught, with an occasional hawg over five stretching a line. Shoal Creek’s all-tackle records show there’s potential for even larger catches this time of year. Those targeting the Rio Grande cichlid—the piña, a true local favorite—are having good luck on bits of worm or small Beetle Spins. These spirited little fish are crowding up in slackwater pools and seem to fire up once midday clouds drift in. On the saltier side, reports from Captain Experiences guides down at Boca Chica and the mouth say redfish are running strong as they start pre-fall schooling. Several crews hit limits on slot reds using gold spoons and live mullet drifted over grass flats just inside the passes. If trout are your target, soft plastics in white or chartreuse have drawn steady strikes along South Bay edges, especially on a light southeast wind. If you’re hunting for hotspots, don’t overlook: - The old ferry crossing at Los Ebanos for big cats at dusk. - Downstream bends near Hueco Chiquito for consistent bass action. - The tidal flats just east of Brownsville, around Boca Chica, for redfish in the late afternoon push. Best lures today have been: - Whopper Plopper and Pop-R’s for those dawn topwater surges. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sun popped over the horizon at 7:12 AM this morning and she’s looking to tuck in around 7:54 PM—plenty of daylight to get your lines wet. We’re seeing classic late summer weather down here: temperatures are warming quickly into the 90s, with a gentle to moderate southeast wind rolling at 10-15 knots. That breeze is keeping the humidity in check, but also putting a little extra ripple on the water—look for a moderate chop on Laguna Madre and along the bay edges, and seas running around 2 to 3 feet if you’re out near the jetties, according to the National Weather Service Brownsville[National Weather Service]. Tidal action today is timed just right: high tide hit at 7:53 AM at the Boca Chica/Rockport marker, coming in at around 0.56 feet, and it’ll drop to a low around 7:16 PM this evening at 0.16 feet, per NOAA predictions. Get out early to target that morning push, especially for those inshore bruisers[NOAA Tides & Currents]. Bite reports from the last few days have been steady. Captain Tommy up in Rockport knocked out a two-man limit of redfish in just three hours, even with some stiff wind and high water. The flats along the Laguna Madre have delivered redfish, black drum, and a few gator trout this week. Further upriver, flounder are stacking up in the back bay sloughs and drains, especially around first light, as shared by Captain Experiences. Down here in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, there’s been a good showing of keeper reds, slot black drum, and a handful of legal flounder—though you’ll want to work hard around the grass and deeper drop-offs[Captain Experiences]. The best producers lately have been gold spoons and root beer paddle tails for reds, with white/chartreuse soft plastics pulling in solid trout. Early topwater action has been worth the early rise: bone-colored Spooks and Skitter Walks are pushing up aggressive strikes from trout and even some big ladyfish. Folks drifting the intracoastal edges are getting drum and flatties on gulf shrimp and finger mullet, while cut mullet or menhaden has been best for targeting bigger reds after the tide falls out[Bassmaster]. If you’re into live bait, nothing’s beating a live croaker or piggy perch under a popping cork along the deeper grass lines this time of year. If you’re chunking artificial, scented baits like Gulp! shrimp are picking up everything from reds to snook. For hot spots today, try these two: - **South Bay flats just north of Boca Chica**: Exposed grass beds on a falling tide are drawing in skinny water reds and schools of trout. Wade out early, look for nervous mullet and tailing fish. - **The old Brownsville Ship Channel edges**: Work the deeper drops during the last hour of incoming or start of the outgoing tide.

Sunrise was at 7:10 AM and sunset’s rolling in at 8:01 PM. We’ve got steamy late summer weather—early hours are mid-70s, warming up quick into the high 90s by mid-afternoon, so pack ample hydration and sunscreen. Scattered clouds will drift in and out, winds are light from the southeast around 7 mph, making for classic Valley morning conditions before heat builds. Today’s tides: NOAA shows a high tide peaking around 5:04 AM at 5.84 feet, tapering to low at 10:10 AM, then rising again toward another high at 4:34 PM. If you’re chasing reds or specks, take advantage of that early-morning flood until about 8 AM, then shift tactics as water drops out to expose the mud flats and mangroves. Fish activity on the Rio this week has been above average. Out by the river mouth and near Boca Chica flats, anglers have landed good numbers of slot reds, some pushing 28 inches. Plenty of speckled trout are showing on the edge of drop-offs, with a mix of keeper sizes, averaging 16 to 19 inches. Catfishers upriver near Brownsville are hauling blues and channels averaging 2 to 5 pounds, mostly taken on cut shad and doughbait. Down by the Island, flounder bites picked up on sandy transitions with numbers running small but steady, so keep those Carolina rigs handy. Lurewise, this heat calls for **soft plastics in root beer or chartreuse**—paddle tails like 2-inch Bass Assassins and 4-inch Saltwater Gulp Shrimp are top producers on slow retrieves just above the grass. If the tide’s pushing, switch to a 1/8 oz jig head for better control. Anglers working topwater early found success with **Super Spooks and Skitterwalks**—steady pops near reeds will draw strikes from trout and ambitious redfish. When it comes to bait, fresh-dead shrimp is king for numbers, and live mullet are a proven choice for targeting bigger reds and snook, especially during those rushes after sunrise. Recent catches along the levee and near the main channel include black drum, with several bags going over a dozen fish each. Carp anglers report good action with bread balls upriver, noting multiple 10-pound-plus fish landed near the flood control gates. Night fishing on the lower Rio is yielding some solid gar action—anchored cut bait rigs are getting hit by four-foot longnose and spotted gar as dusk drops. For hot spots, locals are swearing by the area around **Boca Chica Flats**, especially near the mangrove lines during outgoing tide, and the **Old Brownsville Weir** for consistent catfishing all week. For a multispecies bite, hit the confluence at **Las Palomas Wildlife Refuge**; lively bait and lures have produced mixed bags of reds, drum, and some decent trout on cooler mornings. Don’t forget: with Labor Day looming, Texas Game Wardens will be out in force.

We’re off to a still and muggy start this morning along the lower Texas coast. Sun rose at 7:06 AM and you’ve got well over eleven hours of daylight—sunset at 7:54 PM gives you plenty of time to wet a line. Forecast from the National Weather Service out of Brownsville calls for mostly calm marine conditions, with seas running one to two feet and light variable winds—great for smaller boats and kayak anglers. We might see a shower roll through this afternoon, so keep an eye out for quickly building clouds, especially after lunch. For those of you planning your bite, Solunar tables put today’s prime fishing windows around 1:13 PM to 3:13 PM, with a good minor bump this morning from 7:27 to 8:27. Fish are definitely active on the major and minor cycles, lining up just right with the dropping tides by late morning. Let’s talk species—recent catches in and around the Rio Grande have been solid. Local guides report big numbers of speckled trout and redfish coming from both jetties and channel edges, with some slot-sized drum and the odd flounder thrown in as bycatch. Along the brackish stretches, folks are still getting into snook, especially in the early hours, and down near Brownsville, urban anglers are sight-casting to Rio Grande cichlids and the occasional gar. Just yesterday, Marcus Rodriguez with Laguna Rio Outdoors posted photos from a morning session—steady action on cichlids using small jigs and light line upriver from the city. For those headed out, here’s your bait box: live shrimp is the staple for drum, trout, and flounder—freelined or under a popping cork, it’s hard to beat. Cut mullet’s getting good attention from reds along the edges, and fresh dead menhaden is putting the big cats on the chew up near Falcon Reservoir. If you’re throwing artificials, darker paddle-tail swimbaits are killing it when worked along grassy points, with Gulp! shrimp and small gold spoons also producing. Early topwater action is solid—Super Spooks and She Dogs in bone or chrome have been getting exploded by trout and even a few sneaky snook. Soft plastics in natural shades are taking the most bites for cichlids, especially around shallow snags and current seams. Hot spots this week? Two spots worth trying: First, the Southmost Channel access, especially at sunrise for mixed bags of drum, reds, and cats—easy shore access and fish moving in tight to structure. Second, the mouth of Resaca de la Palma for fly and light-tackle cichlid fishing—perfect for anglers looking to sight-fish in clear, shallow water where action’s been nonstop all week. A quick plug: September’s right around the bend, and that means tournament time with the annual Rio Grande Rumble—details up now from Catch Cormier, so pre-fish those cichlid holes if you’re feeling competitive. That wraps it for today’s Rio Grande report.

A quick plug: September’s right around the bend, and that means tournament time with the annual Rio Grande Rumble—details up now from Catch Cormier, so pre-fish those cichlid holes if you’re feeling competitive. That wraps it for today’s Rio Grande report.

Here’s what you need to know before you load up the Yeti and hit the salt! Weather’s been classic late-August—daytime highs pushing mid-90s, muggy with plenty of Gulf humidity. According to the National Weather Service, we’ve got southeast winds around 10 knots, a slight chop on the bay, and only a faint chance of an afternoon shower. That means comfortable, fishable seas with no major weather holding you back. Sunrise was at 7:04 AM, sunset tonight comes on at 7:57 PM, giving you ample time for either that first-light wade or a sunset drift along the grass. Now, the tide is coming in gently this afternoon and topping out early evening—perfect for targeting reds cruising shoreline grass beds and drains. Water temps inshore are warm, holding around 86 to 88 degrees. On the salt, clarity’s holding up surprisingly well in the Lower Laguna—a little tea-stained, but plenty fishable. All this recent pop-up rain has kept salinity down just enough for good grass growth and bait movement, especially in the flats. Fish activity has been solid if you hit prime times. According to this week’s Texas Parks and Wildlife report, redfish action’s been the headline—good numbers of slot reds showing up, and the heat’s got them schooling tight early and late. There’s even a few bruiser oversize reds hanging on the outside sandbars and in deeper potholes. Speckled trout are around in good numbers on the deeper edges and drop-offs; mornings with topwater lures have been epic at first light before they push deeper once the sun’s high. Black drum? They’re stacked shallow, picking off crustaceans, and not too picky with a well-placed shrimp. Most anglers this week are pulling in mixed bags: lots of 17–25 inch reds, trout averaging 15–20 inches, with a few pushing toward 25 if you luck into the right school. Drums are mostly keeper size. The numbers are holding steady, especially in the mornings, with some limits seen coming off the water before lunchtime in fishy areas. Best baits right now: you can’t go wrong with live shrimp or finger mullet under a popping cork for both reds and trout—just drift it over the grass or along drop-offs. If you’re wanting to cover more water or entice those pickier specks, DownSouth Lures Supermodel in “Rootbeer Hopper” and “Big Poppa Pearl” have gotten plenty of bites—especially paired with a 1/8 oz jighead slow-rolled along the bottom or hopped through potholes. Topwater action is still fierce right at daybreak; Heddon Super Spook Jr. in bone or any chartreuse will draw violent strikes, especially around bait schools and nervous water. Hot spots to try: - The spoil banks near Boca Chica, especially around shad schools at first light—a local favorite for schooling reds. - The North Flats and Mexiquita Flats, just outside Port Isabel, have been kicking out both trout and redfish. - Drains feeding in This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We kicked off the day with a sunrise at 6:43 a.m., and we’re lookin’ at a sunset about 8:34 p.m. Typical early summer weather is settling in: muggy, with those morning temps already touching the low 80s and highs climbing into the mid-90s by afternoon. A light southeast breeze is keeping things comfortable early and late. We’ve got partly cloudy skies and, with the heat, you’ll want to fish dawn, dusk, or even after dark for the best action. Today’s tide brings a moderate swing—there’s a high tide rolling in around 10:30 a.m., so the fish will be moving, especially around deeper bends, creek mouths, and the mouths of oxbows. The afternoon brings a falling tide, so adjust your spots as the levels drop and current picks up. Fishing activity is hot for early summer. Bass fans are seeing good numbers and size. Largemouth bass are still hanging along brush piles and rocky banks in the main channel, as well as in backwaters. Topwater baits—poppers and buzzbaits—have been solid right at dawn. Once the sun’s up, best bet is switching to Texas-rigged plastics or crankbaits in watermelon or chartreuse. Anglers fishing the Mission Main Canal and Los Olmos Creek are posting largemouths in the 3-to-5-pound range, with some up to 22 inches. Lipless crankbaits in chrome and red are catching the active ones near grassy points and submerged timber, especially mid-morning. For bigger fish, focus on dawn, dusk, and nighttime. Catfish are biting steady, too. Anglers have been hauling in plenty of channel cats with cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait just off the bottom, especially in those deeper holes and around overhanging brush. There are reports of channel cats up to 6 pounds, with the occasional blue cat pushing 20 pounds, especially near the bend by Boquillas Canyon. If you’re after a mix, rainbow trout were just stocked up at Pilar further upriver on June 12, and while that’s a bit of a haul, it’s worth it if you’re itching for trout. Otherwise, stick with the big three here: largemouth bass, blue catfish, and channel cats. According to the Fishbrain app, over 900 catches of bass and catfish have been logged recently in Rio Grande City, so there’s plenty of action. Bait-wise, I recommend: - Topwaters at dawn for bass (poppers, buzzbaits) - Texas-rigged worms or crankbaits in green pumpkin or chartreuse - Cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait for cats Best hot spots right now: Los Olmos Creek is producing consistently for largemouths, and the channel bend by Boquillas Canyon is red hot for catfish.

We kicked off this morning with temps just touching the low 80s at sunrise, a southeast breeze lightly stirring the willows along the bank, and muggy conditions that’ll be familiar to anyone spending summer in deep South Texas. Sunrise came right at 6:43 a.m., and you’ll have daylight till sunset rolls out at 8:34 p.m. Weather’s serving up partly cloudy skies and highs into the mid-90s—so get an early start or wait for the evening cool-down to chase that prime bite. Tidal swing’s right in the sweet spot today—look for a late morning high tide around 10:30 a.m., falling to a low by mid-afternoon. That push of water is keeping fish on the move, especially anywhere creeks dump into the main river or in those deeper bends where the current slows up. Fishing’s been solid all week. Largemouth bass are active in both the main river channel and tucked into oxbows and backwaters, especially around brush piles and rocky banks. Early in the morning, tie on a topwater popper or buzzbait for some surface action—once the sun climbs, switch to Texas-rigged plastics, watermelon and chartreuse patterns are working best, or try a crankbait worked along structure. Best bite for the big girls is dawn, dusk, and after dark. Catfish hunters are staying busy too. There’s a steady run of channel cats and the occasional big blue cat showing up in deeper runs and under overhanging brush. Best bait right now is cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait fished just above the bottom. Folks have been hauling in channel cats up to 6 pounds, and blues tipping 20 pounds are still popping up, particularly near those deeper bends by Boquillas Canyon. If you’re after variety, don’t overlook the latest stockings—rainbow trout went in upstream at Pilar back on June 12, with some reports of wild brown trout, smallmouth bass, and even a few Rio Grande cutthroat making an appearance for anglers fishing tight to cover or working flies through classic holding water. For lure selection: early risers favor topwaters and buzzbaits for bass, switching to crankbaits and soft plastics as the heat builds. Catfish can’t resist cut bait, chicken liver, or classic punch bait. For trout and smallmouth, small inline spinners or nightcrawlers are a solid bet. Hot spots worth hitting today are: - Río Grande proper just upstream or downstream of Rio Grande City—especially those undercut banks and brushy edges. - Los Olmos Creek, a top producer for both largemouth bass and catfish, and known for numbers and size. - Deeper bends by Boquillas Canyon—particularly good for blue catfish.

We woke up this morning to a classic South Texas summer start—temps right around 80 at dawn, a light southeast breeze, and that muggy river-bottom air. The sun broke the horizon at 6:43 a.m., and you can expect to squeeze in every bit of daylight you can handle with sunset not until 8:34 p.m. Weather’s calling for highs up around the mid-90s, mostly partly cloudy, and it’s going to feel every bit as sticky as you’d imagine for late June on the Rio. If you’re after fish and not just a sunburn, plan your trip around the coolest parts of the day. Tide-wise, we’ve got a moderate swing with the high tide pushing in at 10:30 a.m. The water’ll drop back out through the afternoon, so anglers wanting active fish should target that late morning window and ride the moving water for best results. The bite’s been steady and strong this week. Largemouth bass are snapping early, especially in the main river channel and the backwater oxbows. Topwater poppers and buzzbaits are money at dawn around brush, laydowns, and rocky banks. As the sun peeks higher, bass are sliding deeper—Texas-rigged plastics in watermelon or chartreuse and crankbaits near structure have been pulling some nice fish. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, anglers are landing multiple 3-to-5-pounders, especially on the upstream bends and around submerged timber. Catfish are a can’t-miss right now. Channel cats and the occasional big blue are holed up in deeper runs and undercut banks. Best bet for these whisker-faces is cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait, fished on bottom or just off ledges. Some reports from Boquillas Canyon have folks landing channel cats up to 6 pounds, and blues pushing 20 pounds aren’t unheard of this month. Trout action is worth a look too, up near the upper river reaches and cool creek mouths—recent stockings have boosted the numbers of rainbow and even the occasional Rio Grande cutthroat. If you’re fly fishing, keep your eyes peeled for the caddis hatch, which usually kicks off this time of year. Otherwise, small inline spinners and salmon eggs will do the trick for rainbows. Best hot spots right now? Head for the oxbow just south of Falcon Dam for early topwater bass, or make your way to the deep bend below Boquillas Canyon for heavy catfish. Creek mouths and submerged timber near San Ygnacio are holding good fish, too. And don’t forget your bug spray—the mosquitoes are as hungry as the fish. Thanks for tuning in, folks!

Sat, 21 Jun 2025 08:01:40 -0000 full Inception Point AI Howdy y’all, this is Artificial Lure with your Rio Grande, Texas fishing report for June 21, 2025. We woke up this morning to a classic South Texas summer start—temps right around 80 at dawn, a light southeast breeze, and that muggy river-bottom air. The sun broke the horizon at 6:43 a.m., and you can expect to squeeze in every bit of daylight you can handle with sunset not until 8:34 p.m. Weather’s calling for highs up around the mid-90s, mostly partly cloudy, and it’s going to feel every bit as sticky as you’d imagine for late June on the Rio. If you’re after fish and not just a sunburn, plan your trip around the coolest parts of the day. Tide-wise, we’ve got a moderate swing with the high tide pushing in at 10:30 a.m. The water’ll drop back out through the afternoon, so anglers wanting active fish should target that late morning window and ride the moving water for best results. The bite’s been steady and strong this week. Largemouth bass are snapping early, especially in the main river channel and the backwater oxbows. Topwater poppers and buzzbaits are money at dawn around brush, laydowns, and rocky banks. As the sun peeks higher, bass are sliding deeper—Texas-rigged plastics in watermelon or chartreuse and crankbaits near structure have been pulling some nice fish. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, anglers are landing multiple 3-to-5-pounders, especially on the upstream bends and around submerged timber. Catfish are a can’t-miss right now. Channel cats and the occasional big blue are holed up in deeper runs and undercut banks. Best bet for these whisker-faces is cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait, fished on bottom or just off ledges. Some reports from Boquillas Canyon have folks landing channel cats up to 6 pounds, and blues pushing 20 pounds aren’t unheard of this month. Trout action is worth a look too, up near the upper river reaches and cool creek mouths—recent stockings have boosted the numbers of rainbow and even the occasional Rio Grande cutthroat. If you’re fly fishing, keep your eyes peeled for the caddis hatch, which usually kicks off this time of year. Otherwise, small inline spinners and salmon eggs will do the trick for rainbows. Best hot spots right now? Head for the oxbow just south of Falcon Dam for early topwater bass, or make your way to the deep bend below Boquillas Canyon for heavy catfish. Creek mouths and submerged timber near San Ygnacio are holding good fish, too. And don’t forget your bug spray—the mosquitoes are as hungry as the fish. Thanks for tuning in, folks!

We’re catching the sun rising at 6:40 AM and setting just past 8:30 PM, so there’s plenty of daylight to wet a line. Tidal movements are friendly today: expect a high tide rolling in around 9:30 AM and a low at about 3:30 PM, setting up prime windows for aggressive early and late bites. The water’s got a slight stain—runoff from recent rains—but it’s clearing fast, making conditions just about perfect for a busy day on the water. Weather’s typical for late June—warm, muggy mornings pushing into the upper 80s by midafternoon, with a light south wind to keep things bearable. No big storms on the radar, so you’ll have stable barometric pressure—always a plus for consistent fish activity. Fish action’s heating up just like the temps. According to recent reports, largemouth bass are hanging shallow early, often near submerged timber and grassy points, before sliding deeper once the sun’s high. Green pumpkin and watermelon red soft plastics are getting the most bites, and if you’re after a reaction strike, lipless crankbaits in chrome or red are getting those more aggressive fish to commit. Anglers are reporting good numbers of bass, including several in the 3-to-5-pound range, especially in the main river and backwater sloughs. Catfish fans are seeing steady action along the deeper bends, with the stretch near Boquillas Canyon being especially productive—cut shad and classic stinkbait are drawing solid channel cats up to 6 pounds, with a few blue cats tipping the scales at 20 pounds making headlines this week. Night fishing for cats is producing too, with the cooler temps after sunset making for a comfortable bite. Don’t forget about the trout bite—while the Rio Grande isn’t known as a classic trout river in these deep South Texas stretches, there have been a few scattered reports of Rio Grande cutthroat where cooler spring inflows hit, thanks to earlier stocking efforts upstream. Most of the action down here, though, is bass and cats. For bait, stick with live or fresh-cut shad for catfish and soft plastics or lipless crankbaits for bass—if you’re feeling old-school, chicken livers are always a winner for channel cats. Hot spots this week: try the main channel around Boquillas Canyon for steady catfish action, or hit the backwater sloughs near the mouth of Tornillo Creek if you’re chasing early-morning largemouth. If you’re visiting Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande itself along with Tornillo and Terlingua Creeks are your best bets—just remember, you’ll need a park fishing permit, but no state license required in the park. That wraps up your Rio Grande report. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe so you never miss the latest bite. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

We’re starting off the day down here in deep South Texas with a typical early summer morning—temperatures at sunrise hovering around the low 80s and a light southeast breeze rippling the river. Today’s sunrise came right at 6:43 a.m., with sunset expected at 8:34 p.m. You can expect partly cloudy skies, highs pushing the mid-90s, and those muggy river-bottom conditions we know so well. The heat will build fast, so plan on getting lines in early or waiting until the evening bite when things cool off. The tidal swing today is moderate, with a late morning high tide around 10:30 a.m. and a low falling off mid-afternoon. That incoming tide will keep fish moving, especially near creek mouths and deeper bends off the main flow. Now, for the fish: The Rio Grande is giving up a strong early summer bite, and according to the most recent Texas Parks and Wildlife weekly reports, the largemouth bass are still active in the main river channel as well as in oxbows and backwaters. Brush piles and rocky banks have been hot zones, with topwater poppers and buzzbaits working well at dawn. As the sun climbs, switch to Texas-rigged plastics or crankbaits in watermelon and chartreuse colors. Prime time is dawn, dusk, and after dark for the bigger fish. Catfish action is also solid—plenty of channel cats and the occasional blue cat being hauled in from deeper runs and beneath overhanging brush. Best bets have been cut shad, chicken liver, or punch bait fished just above bottom. Look for them near the old bridge pilings and around any sort of submerged timber. If you’re after panfish, the bream and sunfish are stacked up along grassy shorelines and around brush. Small worms or crickets under a bobber will keep the kids busy all day. Up closer to Big Bend National Park, the river has also been giving up a few nice catches to those willing to hike in—especially around Tornillo and Terlingua Creeks. You’ll find smallmouth and even a few Rio Grande cutthroat trout in deeper, cooler pockets. For trout, pack along some spinners or single-hook Panther Martins, and remember, inside the park a free permit is required—no state license needed. Hot spots for the day: - The deep bend just above the old Roma bridge—always a producer for bass and catfish. - The mouth of Falcon Lake, especially early as the bait moves with the incoming tide. - For the adventurous, hike-in access below Dryden Crossing or in Big Bend NP for a shot at wild trout and smallmouth. Top lures right now: - Early: Zara Spooks, Heddon Torpedoes, and buzzbaits in shad or bone. - Midday: Deep-diving crankbaits, Texas-rigged plastics, or live bait for catfish. Don’t forget to hydrate, wear your sun gear, and watch for quick-moving storms this time of year. Thanks for tuning in, y’all! Be sure to subscribe for your next Rio Grande fishing report.

Sun’s up at 5:53 AM this morning, and she’ll be sinking out west around 6:46 PM, giving us a good, long day of fishing. Weather’s settling in nice and steady—expect clear skies, temps in the mid-to-upper 70s early on, warming up by midday, and a light southeast breeze. That’ll keep things comfortable, but don’t forget your sunscreen and plenty of water. Tide-wise, we’re seeing a high tide right at 4:07 AM, dropping to a low at 10:45 AM, then back up with the afternoon high at 4:48 PM. If you’re planning to target the coastal zones or down around the brackish river mouths, those moving waters around sunrise and late afternoon will be prime times for casting[6]. Fishing’s been hot this week with great reports across the board. According to the most recent Rio Grande fishing updates, largemouth bass are biting strong along the grassy edges and deeper pools. Best luck has been on soft plastics—think watermelon red or green pumpkin worms and creature baits. Lipless crankbaits in chrome or red have also put several chunky bass in the boat. Channel catfish are active in the deeper bends, especially near structures. Stink bait and cut shad have been the ticket, and don’t be surprised to tangle with a big blue cat if you’re fishing the holes. For y’all after something a little different, the white bass are still running up from the coast, especially near creek mouths. Folks have been catching good numbers on small white or chartreuse jigs and live minnows. Over on the trout side, the Orilla Verde area near Pilar was recently stocked with over 2,000 rainbow trout, and anglers have pulled in some nice Rio Grande cutthroats from those deeper pockets—consider swinging a small spinner or drifting a nightcrawler through those runs for best results. Top spots right now? The mouth of Terlingua Creek is lighting up for largemouth and white bass, especially at first light. The deep bend near Boquillas Canyon remains a catfish haven, and upriver towards Laredo, the white bass action just keeps rolling. Out towards the Brownsville coastal interface, folks are hooking into the occasional coastal speck and redfish on shrimp-tipped jigs around dusk, according to local guides. Best baits this week: soft plastic worms and Senkos for bass, chartreuse spinnerbaits if you’re casting at dawn, and nightcrawlers or stinkbait for those cats. Live shiners are a solid choice for multispecies action if you want to keep it classic. Don’t forget—lots of debris still floating from last month’s high water, so keep your eyes peeled and your casts careful. That’s a wrap from the banks of the Rio Grande for today.

The sun’s rising at 6:40 AM and setting just past 8:30 PM today, giving us plenty of daylight for casting lines. Winds are light out of the southeast, temps are starting in the low 70s at sunrise and climbing into the upper 80s by afternoon—typical for early summer down here. Skies are mostly sunny, but keep an eye for a stray afternoon shower, especially as the humidity builds up. Tide-wise, we've got a high tide coming in around 9:30 AM and low tide hitting after 3:30 PM—right in the sweet spot for that aggressive early bite window and some good late-afternoon action. Water’s running a touch stained but clearing up after the recent storm runoff. Fishing’s been hot this week, especially in the main river and backwater sloughs. Largemouth bass are still hanging shallow early, moving to structure by mid-morning. Folks have been pulling in solid numbers—several bass in the 3-to-5-pound range—using green pumpkin and watermelon red soft plastics. Lipless crankbaits in chrome or red have been fooling those more aggressive fish, especially near grassy points and submerged timber. For you catfish chasers, action’s been steady around the deeper holes and channel swings—cut shad and stinkbait are drawing plenty of bites. Channel cats up to 6 pounds and the occasional big blue up to 20 have been reported, especially near the bend by Boquillas Canyon. White bass are still making a bit of a late-spring run upriver. Small jigs and live minnows are your ticket here, and anglers upriver towards Laredo have reported stringers up to the daily 25-fish limit. On the coastal side, just down near Port Isabel, redfish and speckled trout are prowling the Lower Laguna Madre grass flats. Chartreuse paddletails, shrimp-tipped popping corks, and topwater walkers like the Super Spook Jr. at first light have all been effective. There’s even been a few nice flounder caught along the channels, with live mud minnows getting the job done. Local hot spots? Try the mouth of Terlingua Creek for bass and the deep bend near Boquillas for cats. Heading south, the jetties at Boca Chica and flats near Port Isabel are your best shot for reds and specks. Best baits this week: green pumpkin and blue fleck soft plastics, chrome or red lipless crankbaits for bass, cut shad and nightcrawlers for cats, and chartreuse spinnerbaits or live shiners for white bass. On the salt, stick with soft plastic paddletails, live shrimp, and topwater plugs. That’s today’s rundown from Rio Grande country.

We’ve got a beautiful morning shaping up—clear skies, a gentle southeast breeze, and temps starting in the low 70s, rising through the day. Sunrise hit at about 6:43 AM, and you’ll have until sunset around 8:20 PM to work those lines. Water temps are steady between 70 and 75 degrees, with the river running mostly clear and just a touch above normal due to some spring rains—not too high, not too low, just right for most folks. Fishing action this week has been absolutely hopping. White bass are still the big ticket here. They’re schooling strong, especially early in the day, chasing shad on the main points and tucked back in the coves. If you see birds diving, get over there quick—that’s where the action is hot. Vertical jigging slabs or working small spinnerbaits and swimbaits will fill your stringer fast. According to the Rio Grande Fishing Report on Spreaker, limits of white bass have been coming in just about every day. Rainbow trout are still holding in the upper stretches, especially around Pilar where nearly 2,000 were stocked a couple weeks ago. The caddis fly hatch is in full swing, so a good elk hair caddis or a flashy nymph will get the job done. Folks float fishing through the main river are reporting steady trout bites, especially in the early morning or just before dusk. Largemouth bass are another solid option. They’re hitting hard on crankbaits and soft plastics worked along shoreline brush and submerged grass. Spinnerbaits have also been putting fish in the boat where the water’s got a little chop. If you’re chasing bigger bass, try slow-rolling Texas-rigged worms through deeper pockets as the sun comes up. Catfish anglers have found their groove overnight and into the mornings—cut shad and nightcrawlers fished in deeper holes are producing plenty of action, and there’s even been a few big blues reported this week. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department notes that blue cats and channel catfish are biting strong on cut shad from Water’s Edge to Hunter Park. For hotspots, I’d start around Falcon Lake’s brushy coves for bass and white bass, and the section below the Taos Junction Bridge if you’re chasing rainbows or browns. The backwater sloughs near Roma are another great spot for big cats and are seeing good action on fresh cutbait. Best baits and lures? For white bass, stick with slabs, small spoons, and shad-imitating swimbaits. Crankbaits and soft plastics for bass, and don’t underestimate a live nightcrawler for just about anything swimming here.

Artificial Lure here with your Friday fishing report for May 30, 2025, coming to you live from the beautiful Rio Grande in Texas. Weather's perfect today with clear skies and temperatures starting in the low 70s, expected to climb as the day progresses. We've got that gentle southeast breeze making for ideal conditions on the water. Sunrise was at 6:40 AM and sunset will be around 8:23 PM, giving y'all plenty of daylight for fishing. Water conditions remain excellent with temperatures holding steady between 67-73 degrees. The Rio Grande is running clear with just a hint of stain, and water levels are sitting about 2 feet above normal, which has been working in our favor all week. Let me tell you, the fishing action is absolutely on fire right now! White bass are the hot ticket item with anglers up and down the river reporting easy limits of these feisty fighters, with plenty measuring up to 16 inches. They're schooling up something fierce, chasing shad in the mornings across the main lake points and back in the coves. Watch for those diving birds first thing in the morning – that's your dinner bell! For tackle, any color paddle tail swimbaits are working well for early morning topwater action. Once the sun gets high around 8 AM, switch to a 1-ounce RSR minnow slab and drop down to 15-30 feet depths. Rainbow trout are also being caught in good numbers, especially in the upper sections. Keep an eye out for the annual caddis fly hatch which typically starts in May. There are also wild brown trout, northern pike, and smallmouth bass if you know where to look. For hot spots, I'd recommend trying Pole Creek, West Willow Creek, and South Clear Creek, which have been producing spectacular catches according to recent reports. The Quality Water section has been particularly productive, while the Bait Water below has good fishing with a five-fish limit. Catfish are moving shallower and are biting well on cut perch or carp. For the bass anglers, try working buzzbaits or frogs around hydrilla beds and lily pads, with best action at dawn and dusk. If you're heading out today, remember to stay hydrated and keep an eye on that weather. The bite has been strongest early morning and late evening, so plan accordingly. Thanks for tuning in, folks! Don't forget to subscribe for more weekly fishing reports. This has been Artificial Lure signing off. Tight lines, y'all, and remember – a bad day fishing still beats a good day working!

The sun popped up today at 6:42 AM and will dip below the horizon at 8:23 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet a line. Weather is holding steady, with warm late spring conditions, light winds, and a clear sky through most of the day. That makes for prime fishing, especially early and late in the day when fish are most active. Tidewise, we’re seeing moderate movement today—always a boost for bite windows, especially around creek mouths and deeper bends, where moving water brings baitfish and wakes up the predators. Water clarity is good, and temperatures in the main river have been running in the upper seventies to low eighties, meaning most species are in feeding mode. Recent days on the Rio Grande have delivered strong action for white bass and trout. Reports from anglers up and down the river point to easy limits of white bass, with plenty of feisty fish up to 16 inches. Trout are also being caught—both rainbow and some holdover browns—with a few Rio Grande cutthroat mixed in, especially near colder spring-fed stretches and deeper pools. If you’re after numbers, white bass are the ticket right now. For a little variety, target smallmouth bass or even a stray northern pike if you venture into slower, reed-lined backwaters[3][1][5]. Top baits have been chartreuse and silver shad-pattern crankbaits for white bass, and 3-inch paddle tails on a 1/8-ounce jighead in pearl or gray. Trout are hitting well on in-line spinners in gold or copper, and small live nightcrawlers drifted with little weight in current seams. Soft plastics in watermelon or pumpkin, Texas-rigged, are picking up smallmouth along rocky banks and reed edges[4]. If you’re fishing bait, you can’t beat live minnows for white bass or fresh-cut shad for channel catfish, especially around river channel bends. Hot spots for today include the area below Falcon Dam—look for deeper holes and ledges where white bass are stacked up—and the Old Hidalgo Pumphouse area. Both spots have been getting steady traffic, but the bite has been worth it. Early morning and two hours before sunset are the times to be there for peak fish activity. That’s today’s report from the banks of the Rio Grande. Tight lines, and if you see Artificial Lure out there, say howdy and share your catch.

Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for May 26, 2025, coming to you straight from the beautiful Rio Grande in Texas. Sun's already been up for a bit, rising around 6:30 AM, and we're looking at a sunset near 8:25 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. Weather's holding steady with that late spring warmth we've been enjoying - not quite the scorcher summer days that are just around the corner. Water conditions have changed some since mid-month. We're seeing temperatures up to about 75 degrees now, perfect for getting those fish active. Water levels have dropped a touch since our last report, running closer to normal pool compared to the 2.5 feet above we saw a couple weeks back. Clarity remains slightly stained, which continues to work in our favor for most species. The fishing has been downright fantastic lately! White bass are still providing consistent action, especially if you're working slabs in deeper water. They've been schooling up nicely since early May, and the bite is still going strong. Try hitting them about 25-30 feet down for best results. Largemouth bass fishing continues to be spectacular. They're hitting crankbaits and plastic worms around shoreline structure, especially in the early morning hours. Some folks have had good luck with spinnerbaits in areas with submerged vegetation too. If you're looking for some rainbow trout action, head up to the Pilar section where they stocked nearly 2,000 rainbows on May 15th. The whole Rio Grande is currently floatable, though fishing has been better in the lower sections. For you catfish enthusiasts, the bite has really picked up since our warmer days arrived. Nightcrawlers and cut bait are your best bet, particularly in deeper holes. Hot spots this week: Try the section below Taos Junction Bridge if you're after trout - the limit is two per day from the Colorado border down. For bass fishing, the submerged vegetation areas near the main channel have been producing consistently. Remember, the annual caddis fly hatch should be in full swing now, so fly fishermen should take advantage! That's all for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time.

Today’s sunrise hit around 6:40 AM with sunset expected near 8:20 PM, so there’s a long window to wet a line. We’re enjoying that late spring warmth, just shy of summer’s true heat. The weather is comfortable and stable, with mild breezes and only a slight chance of scattered clouds—near perfect for casting all day long. Water temps are bouncing between 65 and 71 degrees, while water clarity remains good, showing just a hint of stain. The river is running a couple of feet above normal pool, which is giving fish plenty of room to roam but still pulling them into feeding lanes along the banks and main points[4]. Fishing activity has been lively and steady. White bass have been the star this past week, showing hot action at first light. They’re stacking up on main lake points and pushing bait into the back coves. Topwater lures and paddle tail swimbaits in shad color are your best friends before 8 AM. Watch for birds diving—where they’re working, the bass are right below[4]. After the early morning rush, try dropping a 1-ounce RSR minnow slab down to 15-30 feet for continued bites. Folks have also been reporting quality catches of rainbow trout, thanks to heavy recent stockings. Over 1,900 rainbow trout went in at Pilar just last week, and they’re still active. Brown trout, some northern pike, and the occasional smallmouth bass are also in the mix if you’re willing to work pools and eddies, especially with small crankbaits or live nightcrawlers[2]. For bait, live shad or cut bait is working best for whites and stripers, while nightcrawlers and powerbait are landing rainbows. Artificial lures like small jerkbaits, spinners, and the tried-and-true paddle tail swimbait are working across the board. Don’t forget to throw a caddis fly imitation in the mix—there’s a decent hatch coming off, and trout are rising when the bugs are thick[2]. If you’re looking for hot spots, try the main lake points near the town launch or slot up into one of the back coves just off the channel for early bass action. For trout, the stretch just below the dam and along the deeper bends near Pilar have been reliably productive all week[2][4]. That’s your report from the Rio Grande today.

Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for May 24, 2025, coming to you live from the beautiful Rio Grande in Texas. Weather's looking mighty fine today with clear skies and temperatures starting in the low 70s, climbing up as the day progresses. We've got a light southeast breeze making for comfortable conditions on the water. Sunrise was at about 6:43 AM this morning and we're looking at sunset around 8:20 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get those lines wet. Water conditions remain excellent with temperatures holding steady between 65-71 degrees. The water's running nice and clear with just a touch of stain to it. Water levels are still running about 2-3 feet above normal pool, which has been working in our favor all week long. Let me tell you, the fishing action has been absolutely on fire these past few days! White bass continue to be the hot ticket item. They're schooling up something fierce, chasing shad in the mornings all across the main lake points and back in the coves. Y'all want to watch for those diving birds first thing in the morning – that's your dinner bell right there. For tackle, I'd recommend any color paddle tail swimbaits for that early morning topwater action. Once the sun gets high around 8 AM, you'll want to switch to a 1-ounce RSR minnow slab and drop down to 15-30 feet depths. We're also seeing good action with rainbow trout in the upper sections of the river. The annual caddis fly hatch is likely starting up now, so keep an eye out for that. There are also some wild brown trout, northern pike, and smallmouth bass to be had if you know where to look. For hot spots, I'd recommend trying Pole Creek, West Willow Creek, and South Clear Creek, which have been producing spectacular catches according to recent reports. The Quality Water section has been particularly productive, while the Bait Water below has good fishing with a five-fish limit. If you're heading out on the water today, remember to stay hydrated and keep an eye on that weather. The bite has been strongest early morning and late evening, so plan accordingly.

Artificial Lure here with your Friday morning fishing report for May 23, 2025, coming to you straight from the beautiful Rio Grande in Texas. Sun's already up - rose about 6:35 AM today and we're looking at a sunset around 8:25 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. Weather's holding steady with that perfect late spring warmth before the real Texas heat kicks in. Water conditions are mighty fine right now. We've got temperatures sitting between 68-73 degrees, and the water's running pretty clear with just a touch of stain to it. Water levels remain about 2-3 feet above normal pool, which has been working in our favor this past week. The fishing action continues to be red hot across the board. White bass have been absolutely on fire lately. They're still chasing shad in the mornings, so follow those birds to find the action. Look for them in shallow water, about 1-10 feet, on main lake points and back in coves. Early morning topwater action is working great with any color paddle tail swimbaits. After about 8 AM, you'll want to drop down to 15-30 feet with a 1-ounce RSR minnow slab. Rainbow trout fishing has been exceptional too. The Rio Grande at Pilar was stocked with nearly 2,000 rainbow trout just last week, and folks have been hauling them in steadily. There are also some wild brown trout, northern pike, and smallmouth bass to be found. Some Rio Grande cutthroat trout are now being caught thanks to earlier stockings. For you bait fishermen, cut perch or carp has been working wonders for catfish, which are moving into shallower waters as we get closer to summer. Crappie have been fair around main lake boat docks on chartreuse jigs. As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying the main lake points early morning for those white bass schools. Later in the day, head to the Orilla Verde Recreation Area - it's been producing consistent catches. The stretch below the Quality Water has good fishing and a five-fish limit, so that's worth checking out too. Just a heads up - we're expecting increased recreational boater traffic this Memorial Day weekend, so plan accordingly and be safe out there. That's all for now, folks.

Weather this morning is shaping up nicely. We’ve got clear skies, mild temps starting around the low 70s, and a light southeast breeze, making it comfortable for a long day on the water. Sunrise was at 6:44 a.m., and sunset will be about 8:19 p.m., giving us a solid window for both early and evening bites. Tidal movement today is moderate, and waters are running clear with temperatures holding steady between 65 and 71 degrees. It’s classic late spring conditions, with fish actively feeding in the shallows early and dropping deeper as the sun gets high[4]. White bass action is on fire right now. You’ll find them schooling up in shallow water, chasing shad along main lake points and in the backs of coves. My tip—watch for diving birds first thing in the morning, throw a paddle tail swimbait in any color, and you’ll connect. Once the sun’s up and things quiet down up top, switch to a 1-ounce RSR minnow slab and fish deeper, around 15 to 30 feet. Crappie fishing is holding strong, too. Some are finishing up their spawn in 2 to 4 feet of water around submerged brush and trees, while others have moved out to 5 to 15 feet of main lake structure. The go-to rig this week is a 1/16th ounce hair jig on 6 to 8 pound line, with a 5/8 egg sinker slip weight—steady retrieves and patience will get you limits[4]. Catfish are starting to show up in big numbers on the riprap and the edges of deeper holes. They’re responding best to slip bobbers with punch bait, chicken liver, or cut shad. If you want to get serious, chum your spots with a little soured grain before you fish—works like a charm[3]. There’s also been solid reports of smallmouth bass hitting crankbaits and tube jigs around rocky points and current seams. Best lures this week: paddle tail swimbaits for bass, hair jigs for crappie, and don’t forget classic live bait for cats. If fly fishing’s your game, keep an eye out for the caddis fly hatch—May is peak time for big dry fly eats on trout in the upper river[1]. Hot spots to try today: first, check the main lake points near the city launch in Rio Grande City for bass and crappie. Also, don’t skip the inflow of any creeks or irrigation channels—bait fish stack up, and so do the predators. That wraps up today’s update from your neighbor Artificial Lure. Tight lines and hope you land a big one! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Once the sun’s up and things quiet down up top, switch to a 1-ounce RSR minnow slab and fish deeper, around 15 to 30 feet. Crappie fishing is holding strong, too. Some are finishing up their spawn in 2 to 4 feet of water around submerged brush and trees, while others have moved out to 5 to 15 feet of main lake structure. The go-to rig this week is a 1/16th ounce hair jig on 6 to 8 pound line, with a 5/8 egg sinker slip weight—steady retrieves and patience will get you limits[4]. Catfish are starting to show up in big numbers on the riprap and the edges of deeper holes. They’re responding best to slip bobbers with punch bait, chicken liver, or cut shad. If you want to get serious, chum your spots with a little soured grain before you fish—works like a charm[3]. There’s also been solid reports of smallmouth bass hitting crankbaits and tube jigs around rocky points and current seams. Best lures this week: paddle tail swimbaits for bass, hair jigs for crappie, and don’t forget classic live bait for cats. If fly fishing’s your game, keep an eye out for the caddis fly hatch—May is peak time for big dry fly eats on trout in the upper river[1]. Hot spots to try today: first, check the main lake points near the city launch in Rio Grande City for bass and crappie. Also, don’t skip the inflow of any creeks or irrigation channels—bait fish stack up, and so do the predators. That wraps up today’s update from your neighbor Artificial Lure.

Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for May 19, 2025, coming to you straight from the beautiful Rio Grande in Texas. Sun's already up - rose about 6:40 AM today and we're looking at a sunset around 8:20 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. Weather's holding steady with that perfect late spring warmth before summer really kicks in. Water conditions are mighty fine right now. We've got temperatures sitting between 65-71 degrees, and the water's running pretty clear with just a touch of stain to it. Water levels are still about 2-3 feet above normal pool, which has been working in our favor these past few days. The fishing action continues to be red hot across the board! White bass have been absolutely on fire this past week. They're still chasing shad in the mornings, so follow those birds to find the action. Look for them in shallow water, about 1-10 feet, on main lake points and back in coves. Early morning topwater action is working great with any color paddle tail swimbaits. After about 8 AM, you'll want to drop down to 15-30 feet with a 1-ounce RSR minnow slab. Crappie fishing remains consistent too. Some are still spawning while others have moved into post-spawn. You'll find them either jigging in 2-4 feet around trees and bushes, or out on main lake structure in 5-15 feet. A 1/16th ounce hair jig on 6-8 pound line with a 5/8 egg sinker slip weight has been the ticket. Largemouth bass fishing has been downright spectacular. They're hitting crankbaits and plastic worms around shoreline structure, especially in the early morning. Some folks have been having good luck with spinnerbaits in areas with submerged vegetation too. Channel catfish are starting to spawn in 1-8 feet of water on the riprap, so that's another good option if bass and white bass aren't your thing. For hot spots this week, I'd recommend checking out the main lake points near the dam early morning for those schooling white bass. The back of Sycamore Cove has been producing some nice largemouth, and the riprap along the east side has been catfish central. The old timber stand about midlake has been holding some nice crappie if you can find the right depth. Remember, the early bird gets the fish, so get out there before the day heats up!

We’re rolling into that fine late spring stretch, and the bite’s been hot this week. Water temps have been steady right around 71 degrees, and the river is just a bit above normal pool and holding a slightly stained color, which is working to our advantage. We kicked off the day with sunrise at 6:43 a.m., and you’ll have daylight all the way until sunset at about 8:17 p.m., so there’s plenty of time to wet a line and fill a stringer. White bass action remains top-notch. Early mornings, watch for birds working the shallows—there’s shad getting chased and whites are right behind them. Paddle tail swimbaits on light gear are putting numbers in the boat before 8 a.m. After that, switch to 1-ounce RSR minnow slabs and drop them into deeper water, around 25 to 30 feet, where bigger schools are stacking up. Sizable whites are coming in, and you’re likely to limit out if you put in the time. Largemouth bass are biting real well, especially near structure along the shoreline. Crankbaits and plastic worms fished tight to cover are pulling in some chunky buckets. Spinnerbaits are also working great if you find submerged vegetation—focus on shaded spots in the early morning for your best chance at a big one. Catfish are picking up too, with that steady warm water. Cut shad and chicken liver remain your best bets for channel cats in deeper holes and along current breaks. A few blues and the occasional flathead have also been reported for those soaking baits near brush piles. Crappie are still consistent, with some post-spawn fish moving out to main lake structure in 5 to 15 feet. Jigging with a 1/16-ounce hair jig on light line remains the ticket around trees and flooded bushes. Top baits for today: Paddle tail swimbaits in white or shad patterns for white bass, chartreuse or natural-colored crankbaits for largemouth, and live or cut bait for catfish. For crappie, stick to small hair jigs or mini-minnows in pink and chartreuse. Hot spots this week include the stretch around Falcon Dam for bass and cats, and the coves near Zapata for white bass early in the day. If you’re after numbers, these are your best bet. That’s the word from the water today—tight lines and don’t forget to keep your bait moving. The bite’s on. See y’all on the water soon. Artificial Lure, signing off. Happy fishing!

We kicked off the day with sunrise around 6:43 AM and we’ll have daylight until sunset at 8:17 PM, so you’ve got plenty of time to wet a line and chase down a good bite. The weather’s just about perfect this morning, with a mild late-spring warmth hanging in the air. Water temperature is sitting steady right at 71 degrees, with the river running about 2.5 feet above normal and showing a slight stain that’s actually helping with the bite. Let’s talk fish activity. The bite around the Rio Grande has been red-hot this week, especially for white bass. They’re schooling deep, most action happening in 25 to 30 feet of water. Anglers have been hauling them in consistently using slabs and vertical jigs. If you’re looking for numbers, white bass are definitely the main event right now. Largemouth bass have been nothing short of outstanding. Early mornings are prime time, especially around rocky shorelines or submerged brush. Crankbaits and plastic worms worked slow are bringing in some nice fish, and don’t overlook spinnerbaits if you find some patches of submerged grass. Catfish have been active too, especially overnight and into the early dawn. Fresh-cut shad or stinkbaits are your best bets. There’s been some talk of a few double-digit blues and channels caught recently, particularly in the deeper bends and near creek mouths. For trout anglers, action’s been best further upriver closer to the New Mexico line, but don’t be surprised if you hook into a few rainbows or cutthroats stocked earlier this spring if you’re using small spinners or salmon eggs near cooler feeder streams. Best baits and lures this week include white slabs for the bass, green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics for the largemouths, and fresh shad for catfish. For trout, stick with small inline spinners or classic PowerBait if you’re near stocked sections. A couple local hot spots you don’t want to miss: The stretch just downstream of the Falcon Dam is prime for bass and white bass, while the river bends near San Ygnacio have been producing a mixed bag, including some big catfish at night. Tide movement isn’t as much a factor on the Rio Grande, but water flow has been steady, which is keeping fish on the feed. That’s your Rio Grande report for today.

The fishing's been mighty fine this past week, and today looks to continue that trend. Water's running clear with temperatures holding steady around 65-71 degrees, perfect for our spring patterns. White bass action is hot right now! They're chasing shad in the morning - follow those birds to find the action. Look for them in shallow water (1-10 feet) on main lake points and back in coves. Early morning topwater action is working great with any color paddle tail swimbaits. After about 8 a.m., drop down to 15-30 feet with a 1-ounce RSR minnow slab. Crappie fishing remains consistent. Some are still spawning while others are entering post-spawn. You'll find them either jigging in 2-4 feet around trees and bushes, or out on main lake structure in 5-15 feet. A 1/16th ounce hair jig on 6-8 pound line with a 5/8 egg sinker slip weight has been the ticket. Channel catfish have started their spawn in shallow water, 1-8 feet deep along riprap. Slip bobbers with punch bait, chicken liver, or cut shad are all working well. Pro tip: throwing out some soured grain to chum your fishing spots works like magic. Try setting up three or four spots before you start fishing. Largemouth bass have been hitting consistently too, especially in the morning hours near structure. For you trout enthusiasts, rainbow stockings have been good this season. The limit remains two trout per day from the Colorado border down to Taos Junction Bridge. Water levels are about 4.5 feet above pool, with gates opening and closing to release water. This has actually been stimulating the bite, especially for white bass and catfish. Hot spots this weekend: Try the main lake points early morning for white bass, then shift to the riprap areas mid-morning for those spawning catfish. The back coves with submerged brush have been producing nice crappie stringers. Weather looks to hold steady through the weekend, so get out there early to beat the crowds. Sunrise is around 6:30 a.m. with sunset near 8:15 p.m., giving you plenty of daylight to fill those livewells. Remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen - it's warming up out there!

Artificial Lure here with your mid-week fishing report for May 14, 2025, coming to you straight from the beautiful Rio Grande in Texas. The sun came up this morning around 6:43 AM and will be setting at about 8:17 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. Weather's perfect today - we're looking at that classic late spring warmth without the brutal summer heat that's waiting just around the corner. Water conditions have been holding steady since last week with temperatures sitting right at 71 degrees. We've seen water levels fluctuating a bit, running about 2.5 feet above normal pool as of yesterday. Clarity is slightly stained, which has actually been working in our favor. Let me tell you, the action has been hot as a Texas summer lately! White bass continue to provide consistent action, especially if you're working slabs in deeper water, about 25-30 feet down. They've been schooling up nicely since early May, and the bite doesn't seem to be slowing down one bit. Largemouth bass fishing has been downright spectacular this past week. They're hitting crankbaits and plastic worms around shoreline structure, especially in the early morning. Some folks have been having good luck with spinnerbaits in areas with submerged vegetation too. Catfish? Lord have mercy, they're practically jumping in the boat! Both channel cats in the shallows and flatheads have been active as all get-out. Cut bait has been working wonders for the channel cats, while the flatheads are taking live offerings like minnows, shad, and small sunfish. Focus on coves and creek channels for the best results. If you're looking for hot spots, I'd recommend trying the area just below the dam where the white bass have been congregating. The creek channels feeding into the main river have been producing nice catches of flatheads. For largemouth, check out the brush structures near the Brownsville stretch. Bait-wise, you can't go wrong with minnows right now - they're working for just about everything swimming. If you're an artificial kind of angler, those slabs for white bass, medium-diving crankbaits for largemouth, and spinners for the shallows are your best bets. The locals have been talking about an evening topwater bite developing, so don't forget to pack a few poppers and buzzbaits if you're planning to stay until dusk.

The sun's just peeking over the horizon at about 6:45 AM, and we're looking at a warm day ahead with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s by afternoon. Sunset will be around 8:15 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to haul in some catches. Water conditions on the Rio Grande are looking mighty favorable today. The river flow has come down slightly from last week, sitting around 290 cubic feet per second in the upper sections. Water's got a bit of stain to it, but visibility is decent at about 2-3 feet in most areas. Let me tell y'all, the bass fishing has been downright exciting! Those feisty largemouth are hitting hard, especially in the morning hours. Folks have been having great success flipping soft plastic creature baits into trees and brush with heavy line. Don't be shy with your hook size – these bass mean business. White bass action continues to be strong this spring. Some of you might've heard that a water body record was broken just two weeks ago! They're hitting quarter-ounce jigs and slabs in 25-30 feet of water, though some anglers are having luck with topwater baits early in the day. Catfish are on the prowl in the shallows. Channel cats have been particularly active, with most being caught on stink and dough baits. If you're after the bigger flatheads, try live sunfish or shad in deeper creek channels. For you trout enthusiasts, there was a recent stocking of rainbow trout in the Rio Grande at Pilar – about 2,000 of 'em on April 9th. There are also some wild brown trout, northern pike, and smallmouth bass in those waters. Keep an eye out for Rio Grande cutthroat trout too, as they're showing up from earlier stockings. Hot spots to try today: The section below the dam has been producing nice white bass, and the timber along main channels in 14-17 feet of water is holding some quality crappie. For bass, target points and coves with structure. Best lures right now are crankbaits in shad patterns, Alabama rigs near deeper structure, and don't forget those plastic worms – watermelon red and junebug colors have been getting strikes. For live bait, minnows are working well for crappie, while cut bait is your best bet for cats. That's the report for today, May 12th. Remember, the fish are biting, but they ain't jumping in the boat! Get out there and wet a line. This is Artificial Lure signing off – tight lines, y'all!

Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for May 11, 2025, straight from the Rio Grande in Texas. The sun's just peeking over the horizon now, rising at about 6:45 AM, and we're looking at a sunset around 8:15 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get those lines wet. Weather's shaping up to be classic South Texas spring - warm but not scorching yet, perfect for a day on the water. Water conditions are holding steady with temperatures around 70-71 degrees. We've seen water levels up about 2.8 feet above pool as of earlier this week, with slightly stained clarity[3]. That rise in water level from last week has been stirring up the action something fierce! The mixed bag bite has been strong lately, folks! White bass fishing has been good on slabs in deeper water, about 25-30 feet down[3]. They've been biting steady since early May[4]. If you're after striped bass, they're hitting live bait at similar depths, and some anglers have even had luck with topwater baits early in the morning[3]. Catfish have been practically jumping in the boat! They're good on cut bait in shallow water[3]. Both channel cats in the shallows and flatheads have been active, with the flatheads taking minnows, shad, and sunfish around coves and creek channels[5]. Crappie fishing has been interesting - they've been moving from the spawning grounds upriver back toward structure. Look for them along main channels on timber in 14-17 feet of water. The smaller ones are hanging on brush, while the bigger slabs are preferring timber. Quarter-ounce jigs with double plastics have been the ticket[3]. For largemouth bass, focus on deep structure with soft plastics. The bite has been solid, especially during morning hours[3]. Hot spots this week include the confluence of the main river channel with larger creeks - that's where the white bass have been schooling. For catfish, try the flooded timber areas and creek bends. The dam area has also been producing, though the action has slowed a bit compared to last week[5]. If you're looking for a change of pace, head up toward Amistad where some folks have been having luck with topwater action early and late in the day for largemouths. Bait-wise, can't go wrong with live minnows for crappie, cut shad for cats, and those white/chartreuse soft plastics for bass. In-line spinners and small crankbaits are working well for white bass[5]. That's the word from the water today, folks. Remember, the big ones are always biting somewhere - you just gotta find 'em!

Artificial Lure here with your Rio Grande, Texas fishing report for Saturday, May 10, 2025. We're experiencing another beautiful South Texas spring day on the water. The classic spring weather pattern continues, making this a prime weekend for hitting the water. Fish patterns are a bit mixed right now, with some species in summer mode and others still showing winter behaviors[1]. This transition period means you'll want to fish thoroughly throughout the water column. White bass action has been steady all week and should remain strong today. These fighters have been particularly active lately, with a water body record caught just two weeks ago according to reports from neighboring waterways[5]. Try working slabs in 25-30 feet of water where they've been biting consistently. Crappie fishing continues to be productive, especially if you target brush piles in the 14-17 foot range. The larger specimens are favoring timber structure, responding well to quarter-ounce jigs with double plastics[5]. Catfish have been biting steadily throughout the week[2]. Shore anglers are having decent success using stink and dough baits, while cut bait in shallow water has been producing good results for boat anglers[5]. For those targeting bass, the bite has been improving. Try flipping soft plastic creature baits with heavy tackle into trees and brush[5]. The scattered fish pattern means streamer fishing and nymph fishing techniques have been most effective[1]. Hot spots this weekend include the main river channel timber structures for crappie and white bass. For catfish, focus on shallow flats, especially early morning. The river bends with submerged structure have been producing the best mixed bags. Lure selection remains consistent with recent patterns: soft plastics for bass, slabs for white bass, jigs with plastics for crappie, and good old reliable cut bait or stink bait for catfish. Some anglers have reported success with topwater baits for stripers in nearby waters, so that might be worth trying in our deeper pools[5]. Remember to check your licenses and limits before heading out. Water clarity is running slightly stained in most areas with temperatures hovering around 70 degrees based on readings from surrounding waterways[5]. This is Artificial Lure signing off.

The sun's just peekin' over the horizon about now, and we're lookin' at that classic South Texas spring weather continuing today. Water temps are holding steady in the mid-70s, perfect for getting those fish active. Let me tell you, the fishing's been mighty interesting this past week. We've got ourselves a real mixed bag situation - some fish are already in summer patterns while others are still acting like it's winter. That means you gotta fish everything thoroughly and be patient. White bass have been biting steady in the Rio Grande, with a notable water body record caught just two weeks ago upstream. If you're after those whites, try working slabs in 25-30 feet of water. The crappie action has been solid too, with reports of good catches using quarter-ounce jigs with double plastics in 14-17 feet of water, especially along timber on main channels. Catfish are showing good numbers, particularly for shore anglers using stink and dough baits. The channels are staying in the shallows, and cut bait's been producing consistently. For you bass hunters, the largemouth bite is improving steadily. Folks have been having luck flipping soft plastic creature baits with heavy line into trees and brush. Some success on topwater baits in the early morning hours too. As for tactics, those MAL Lures have been absolutely killing it both vertically and horizontally. The threadfin shad spawn is still going strong, so matching that profile is your ticket to success. If things get tough later in the day, switching to live bait might save your trip. Hot spots to check out: The Orilla Verde Recreation Area has been producing nice rainbow trout along with some wild browns, pike, and smallmouth bass. They stocked it back in April, and those fish should still be there for the taking. For bass fishing, head to the flooded timber areas around the main channel. Remember, the streamflow's running about 291 cubic-feet-per-second, slightly lower than last week, so adjust your presentations accordingly. Water clarity is decent, running clear to slightly stained depending on where you're at. If you're heading out this weekend, get on the water early as the bite's been strongest in the morning hours. Pack plenty of water and sunscreen - forecast shows we're hitting the upper 80s by midday. That's all for now, folks. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and see y'all on the water!

Artificial Lure here with your Rio Grande, Texas fishing report for Monday, May 5, 2025. We are kicking off the week with a stretch of classic South Texas spring weather. Sunrise came at 6:49 AM and sunset will roll in at 8:07 PM, so there’s plenty of daylight to wet a line. Skies are mostly clear today with highs in the upper 70s. A gentle southeast breeze is keeping things comfortable, and the river’s water levels remain steady. Tidal movement is pretty minimal this far upriver, but we do have a slight low just after sunrise with a rising tide creeping in by late morning and running through early afternoon. Those midday tidal swings should line up well with peak fish activity, so plan on getting to your spot by late morning for the best bite window. On the catch front, it’s been an active few days. The white bass run is still in full swing upriver. Anglers are reporting some easy limits, as these hard-fighting fish are smashing small jigs and Rooster Tails—white and chartreuse colors have been top picks. Word is out about that new water body record set back in March, with a 1.2 pound, 13.6 inch white bass landed right here in the Rio Grande. The action is still hot, so if you like fast, light-tackle fun, now is your time to cash in. Crappie are setting up on brush piles and docks, most active in 4 to 6 feet of water. Small jigs in chartreuse are a local favorite, but minnows are also producing solid bites. Largemouth bass are pushing shallow as the water continues to warm—flipping soft plastics around reeds and bank cover is your best bet for a big largemouth this week. Catfish have picked up, too. Both channel and blue cats have been reported from the deeper river bends and holes, taking cut bait and stink bait. If you’re closer to the Gulf, some anglers have even pulled in black drum along the brackish stretches on shrimp and cut bait. For today, best baits and lures are white or chartreuse jigs and Rooster Tails for white bass, soft plastics and spinnerbaits for largemouth, and cut bait or stink bait for catfish. Crappie are partial to small jigs or live minnows. A couple of hot spots worth checking out are the deeper bends near San Ignacio for catfish, or the stretches upriver around Laredo for white bass and crappie. Main takeaways: the bite is steady, the weather is perfect, and there’s a real mix of species willing to play. Get out there and tight lines!

The weather’s shaping up mighty fine today. Early morning temps are starting off cool in the low 60s, warming into the upper 70s by late afternoon. Expect a light southeast breeze, making for comfortable casting conditions throughout the day. Sunrise hit around 6:50 am and sunset will be just after 8 pm, leaving you plenty of daylight to wet a line. Tides won’t affect the Rio much, but with stable flows and steady weather, conditions are prime for all-day action. Water temps are hovering in the low to mid 70s, ideal for some hot spring fishing. The shad spawn is still active, so predator fish are feeding with gusto. Fish activity has been steady all week. Reports from up and down the river tell of good numbers and variety hitting the net. White bass are still stacked up in moving water, eager to hit lures and live bait. A nice run of keeper-size white bass has been hitting, with limits coming easy if you stay mobile and follow the schools. Catfish action is strong near deeper holes around river bends, with channels and blues biting cut bait and stink bait. Largemouth bass are cruising shallow after the spawn, keying in on anything that looks like a shad. Several solid largemouth and even a few crappie have been picked up around submerged brush and rocky banks. Best lures right now are MAL spinners, small swimbaits, and chartreuse jigs, especially when worked with a steady retrieve through active water. For bait anglers, live minnows and nightcrawlers are putting fish in the boat, especially during midday when the bite slows a touch. For catfish, nothing beats fresh cut shad or chicken liver fished along the bottom near structure. Early morning and late evening remain the best windows for the big bass chasing shad. Hot spots today are the stretch just south of Falcon Dam, where white bass and crappie have been thick around submerged timber, and the river bend near Zapata, where the channel swings close to shore and the catfish action has been non-stop. Don’t overlook the old boat launch near San Ygnacio for a solid mixed bag—locals have been pulling limits of white bass and a few nice crappie out of there all week. In summary, the bite on the Rio Grande is strong and spring is delivering as promised. Bring your favorite MAL lure, a little patience, and you’re bound to find fish. Wishing you tight lines and big smiles from Artificial Lure—see y’all on the water. [Citations: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

This is Artificial Lure coming at you with your fresh Rio Grande, Texas fishing report for Saturday, May 3, 2025. We kicked off the day with clear skies and mild temps, making for comfortable conditions out on the river. Sunrise hit at 6:49 AM and sunset is set for 8:07 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get your lines wet. The winds have been light, and water levels on the Rio Grande remain steady, which has kept the bite steady as well. Tidal movement is minimal along the river here, but fish activity has been high during the morning and late evening hours. Water temperatures are hovering in the mid-60s, which has most species active and hungry, especially coming out of the spring spawn. Let’s talk catches. The last several days have seen anglers pulling in solid numbers of white bass, especially upriver. These aggressive fish have been hammering small jigs and Rooster Tails in white or chartreuse, and the run is still strong, with some limits being caught in just a few hours[1][5]. Crappie are hanging out in 4-6 feet of water and are biting well on minnows and small jigs[2]. Catfish action has really picked up too, with fish taking cut bait and stink bait near the river channel bends[2][3]. Bass anglers are reporting good results on largemouth staging in shallower water, mostly around reed beds and secondary points. The post-spawn bite is on, so slow-moving swimbaits and chatterbaits along grass edges have been especially productive. Focus on pockets or holes in the reeds, where fry guarders are lurking. If you find one, chances are there are a few more close by[2][3]. Rainbow trout have still been active near the deeper pools thanks to recent stockings. The best success has been on white and chartreuse jigs or natural shad patterns[3]. These trout are holding deeper during midday, so target pools and shaded runs. Hot spots to hit today include the stretch just below Falcon Dam, where most of the white bass and catfish have been concentrated, and the backwater coves near Zapata for bass and crappie action. Best baits and lures for today: white or chartreuse jigs, small spoons, live minnows for crappie, slow-rolled swimbaits and chatterbaits for bass, and cut bait for catfish. For trout, stick with bright jigs or natural soft plastics. That’s the scoop from the banks of the Rio Grande. Remember to check your local regulations, pack out what you pack in, and enjoy another beautiful day on the water. Tight lines!

The forecast is showing mild spring weather with mostly sunny skies highs in the upper 70s and a gentle breeze out of the southeast perfect for casting from the bank or boat. Tides are moderate with a low just after sunrise and a rising tide mid-morning into early afternoon. This lines up well with peak fish activity for many local species so plan to be on the water by late morning if you want your best shot. Recent catches along the Rio Grande have been impressive This past week anglers have reported steady action on white bass which are still running strong and easy to catch with light tackle. A white bass weighing 1.2 pounds and measuring 13.6 inches was just awarded as a new water body record in March showing the quality of fish coming through the system. There have also been healthy numbers of channel catfish and blue catfish reported in deeper pools and on the bends and some black drum along brackish stretches closer to the Gulf. Largemouth bass are moving shallow as the water warms up with the bite best on soft plastics flipped around reeds and bank vegetation. Crappie are fair mainly on brush piles and docks with chartreuse jigs. Your best bet for white bass and crappie is a small jig in white or chartreuse jigheads tipped with a minnow or a curly tail grub Lightweight spinning gear will get plenty of action. For bass toss Texas rigged soft plastics or spinnerbaits along reed bases and holes in the bank vegetation. Channel and blue cats are hitting cut bait and stink bait around deeper holes and river bends. Live bait like shad or nightcrawlers is always a solid option for drum and catfish down near the river mouth. For hotspots check out the stretch below Zapata for white bass the shoals just above Falcon Lake for a good mix of species and try the oxbows near San Ygnacio for bass holding tight to cover. The public access points at Falcon State Park remain a local favorite with good bank and boat launches.

Fri, 02 May 2025 08:03:25 -0000 full Inception Point AI Good morning anglers This is Artificial Lure with your Rio Grande Texas fishing report for Friday May 2 2025 Sunrise hit today at about 6 52 AM and sunset is expected around 8 06 PM giving you a long stretch of daylight to take advantage of the bite. The forecast is showing mild spring weather with mostly sunny skies highs in the upper 70s and a gentle breeze out of the southeast perfect for casting from the bank or boat. Tides are moderate with a low just after sunrise and a rising tide mid-morning into early afternoon. This lines up well with peak fish activity for many local species so plan to be on the water by late morning if you want your best shot. Recent catches along the Rio Grande have been impressive This past week anglers have reported steady action on white bass which are still running strong and easy to catch with light tackle. A white bass weighing 1.2 pounds and measuring 13.6 inches was just awarded as a new water body record in March showing the quality of fish coming through the system. There have also been healthy numbers of channel catfish and blue catfish reported in deeper pools and on the bends and some black drum along brackish stretches closer to the Gulf. Largemouth bass are moving shallow as the water warms up with the bite best on soft plastics flipped around reeds and bank vegetation. Crappie are fair mainly on brush piles and docks with chartreuse jigs. Your best bet for white bass and crappie is a small jig in white or chartreuse jigheads tipped with a minnow or a curly tail grub Lightweight spinning gear will get plenty of action. For bass toss Texas rigged soft plastics or spinnerbaits along reed bases and holes in the bank vegetation. Channel and blue cats are hitting cut bait and stink bait around deeper holes and river bends. Live bait like shad or nightcrawlers is always a solid option for drum and catfish down near the river mouth. For hotspots check out the stretch below Zapata for white bass the shoals just above Falcon Lake for a good mix of species and try the oxbows near San Ygnacio for bass holding tight to cover. The public access points at Falcon State Park remain a local favorite with good bank and boat launches. Remember white bass have a 25 fish daily limit and a 10 inch minimum and bass are moving off their beds so fishing pressure should start to ease up.

This is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Rio Grande fishing report for Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Folks, we're seeing some mighty fine conditions on the Rio Grande near the Texas border right now. The water levels have been relatively stable with streamflow holding steady compared to last week. The weather's been cooperating lately, giving us some perfect spring fishing conditions. Those morning and evening hours are your sweet spot, so plan accordingly. The Rio Grande has been delivering excellent results lately. Earlier this month, anglers were reporting outstanding conditions, and that trend has continued. The spawn is in full swing now, with a lot of post-spawn action happening in the 6-12 feet range. Based on reports from nearby waters, expect water temps in the mid-60s, which is keeping fish active. Rainbow trout have been plentiful, with several stockings happening throughout April. The Texas side has seen good numbers, particularly in those deeper pools where they're seeking cooler water. If you're after those rainbows, try using white and chartreuse jigs or natural shad colored options. Bass fishing has been picking up, with largemouths staging on secondary points. Slow moving swimbaits have been effective, and chatterbaits are working well along grass edges. Catfish are holding shallow on secondary wind-blown points or beneath shad off creek channels. Cut bait has been the ticket for these whisker fish. White bass action is good in moving water areas, particularly in the creeks. Try white road runners or curly tail worms for these fighters. For your tackle box, I'd recommend loading up on those MAL Lures, Mepps Spinners, and Lil' Georges which have all been producing. Minnows are also working well if you prefer live bait. Hot spots this week include the areas around Pilar, which was stocked earlier this month with rainbow trout. Also, check out the secondary points where the post-spawn action is happening. The creek channels have been producing well for multiple species. For those willing to venture a bit, the Aztec area ponds were recently stocked and might be worth the trip if the Rio Grande gets crowded. The tidal influence isn't significant in our section of the river, but watch for those feeding periods around dawn and dusk when fish activity peaks. Remember, the limit is two trout per day in many sections of the Rio Grande, so fish responsibly. Tight lines, friends, and I'll catch y'all next week with another report!

We’re heading into some top-notch springtime angling here along the border as conditions are holding steady for another productive week. Early this morning, temps started off cool but are warming up nicely, so expect highs in the low 70s by midday. The sky is mostly clear and humidity feels good, giving anglers the perfect excuse to stay out all day. Winds have stayed moderate, enough to keep the fish moving and the bite active. Sunrise came at 7:03 AM and sunset will be close to 8:03 PM, so there’s plenty of daylight for you to chase that new personal best. The Rio Grande’s freshwater stretches here don’t see ocean tides, so the best fishing will come early and late when fish are feeding. Water clarity is solid, with flows just a bit lower than usual, which means fish are hugging to structure, deeper holes, and the banks with good cover. Recent catches have been impressive. Anglers are still finding solid numbers of Rio Grande cutthroat trout in the upper parts of the river, with many measuring 14 to 15 inches. The river has also been stocked recently with rainbow trout that are eager to take both bait and artificial lures. There’s a steady bite for wild brown trout and smallmouth bass, and folks are still reporting the occasional northern pike in the deeper pools. Mornings have been especially hot for trout, with the clearer water and cooler temps keeping them active and aggressive[1][3][4]. Top producing lures right now include small spoons, inline spinners in silver or gold, and classic soft plastic grubs for bass. If you prefer natural bait, nightcrawlers and live minnows are your ticket for trout and smallmouth alike. For fly anglers, go with beadhead nymphs and woolly buggers in olive or black, especially near deeper runs. As for hotspots, you’ll want to check the runs just below Falcon Lake for a good mix of trout and bass holding in the current. Another reliable spot is just above the San Ygnacio area, where eddies and downed timber create perfect fish habitat and steady action. It’s spring fishing at its finest on the Rio Grande this week. With clear water, hungry fish, and that South Texas sun, you’re not going to want to miss it. Tight lines from your local source, Artificial Lure[1][3].

The Rio Grande is serving up some prime springtime fishing right now. Weather’s been stable, with early mornings in the high 50s and afternoons warming into the mid to upper 70s. Winds are mild, adding just enough chop to keep the fish active but not enough to make casting a struggle. Sunrise is at 7:05 am and sunset rolls around 7:59 pm, giving you a full day on the water. Tides are typical for the season, with a slow outgoing tide through the morning and a mild incoming in the afternoon, especially near Boca Chica. This is pushing baitfish into the deeper channels and around structure, which has the bigger fish following suit. Fish activity has been strong after a productive week. Local anglers have been landing good numbers of largemouth bass and channel cats along quieter stretches of the river. Chartreuse and shad-patterned swimbaits have been tempting post-spawn bass, especially around submerged brush and grassy points. Bass up to 4 pounds have been reported, with some even bigger catches mixed in. Channel catfish are eager in shallower flats and creek mouths, hitting on fresh cut bait and stink bait. Up near the Falcon Lake area, white bass are running good numbers in creek inlets and moving water. Folks are having luck with small white curly tail jigs and Road Runner spinners. Catfish in the same area are holding on the edges of deeper holes; cut shad is the choice bait for these blues and channels. Trout action has also picked up in stocked sections, especially near access points below Falcon Dam. Reports show plenty of rainbows falling for PowerBait in orange and chartreuse, and spinner rigs in the current. If you’re fishing from the bank or in a small boat, two spots to target: the Boca Chica Flats for strong catfish and drum activity, and just upstream of the Brownsville Weir for steady bass and panfish. Drift cut shad along the bottom for cats, or toss soft plastics along the edges for bass. For lures, go with chartreuse or white swimbaits for bass, small spinners and jigs for white bass and panfish. Best bait for cats is fresh cut bait—shad if you can find it, or shrimp as a backup. Overall, it’s hard to beat the Rio Grande right now for a mixed bag. Fish are hungry and the weather is just about perfect. Grab your gear, hit the early morning or evening hours around the moving tides, and you’re set for a great day. Tight lines from Artificial Lure—see you on the river soon!

The Rio Grande is seeing some top-notch springtime conditions for local anglers this week. We have mostly clear skies today with temperatures starting cool in the morning and warming up into the low 70s by midday. Winds have been moderate, helping keep fish active, and humidity is comfortable. Sunrise came at 7:03 AM and sunset will hit around 8:03 PM, giving you a solid window for both early and late bites. If you’re planning to fish tides, keep in mind that the Rio Grande’s freshwater stretches aren’t tidal, so focus on morning and evening when fish are most active. Water clarity is good with flows running steady and just a bit lower than average. This means fish are holding close to structure—look for eddies, deeper channels, and brushy banks. Recent reports from the area show strong numbers of Rio Grande cutthroat trout in the upper reaches, with fish averaging 14 to 15 inches. Rainbow trout have been well-stocked lately and are taking a mix of lures and bait. Anglers are also landing wild brown trout, smallmouth bass, and even the occasional northern pike in some stretches. Trout fishing in the morning has been hot, especially where the river is clearer and cooler[3][5]. Effective lures right now include small spoons, inline spinners in silver or gold, and swimbaits for bass. On the fly side, Baetis and caddis patterns are doing best, with Hare’s Ear, Zebra Midge, and Parachute Adams all drawing strikes. For bait, go with nightcrawlers, salmon eggs, or corn for trout, and live shad or cut bait for catfish and larger bass[2][5]. Crappie are staging in deeper holes, especially where there’s submerged wood. They’re hitting black and chartreuse jigs or minnows. Catfish are working shallow flats and creek mouths in the evenings, best targeted with cut bait or chicken liver[2]. For hot spots, check the Santa Maria Island area just above the Falcon Dam, where deep runs and rocky points hold good numbers of bass and catfish. Downriver, the San Ygnacio boat launch offers access to productive stretches for both bank and boat anglers, with reliable action on freshly stocked trout and roaming bass. Overall, the bite is good and conditions are prime. Get out early or stay late for best results, and don’t forget your Texas fishing license. Tight lines from Artificial Lure—see you on the water!

Here’s your Rio Grande fishing report for Monday, April 14, 2025. The day promises excellent conditions for a successful outing on the water. The tides today play nicely into your fishing schedule. Low tide occurred earlier at 4:11 AM, and the first high tide is set for 9:24 AM. Another low tide follows at 3:11 PM, with a night high tide at 10:15 PM. Sunrise was at 6:06 AM, and you can expect sunset at 6:40 PM, giving you plenty of time for a productive day. The weather is mild, with temperatures starting in the mid-60s and climbing to the low-80s by midday. Winds are light, providing a calm fishing environment. Fishing activity on the Rio Grande is thriving! This week has seen a solid haul of blue catfish, channel catfish, flathead catfish, largemouth bass, and the occasional alligator gar. White bass are active as well, particularly during the early morning hours when baitfish like threadfin shad are spawning along the shorelines. For bass fishing, the rocky structures and deeper pools near Falcon Dam and the areas around Laredo are proving fruitful. Best lures and baits for the day include live shad and cut bait for catfish and gar. For bass enthusiasts, topwater crankbaits, chatterbaits in white or chartreuse, and soft plastics like the Green Pumpkin Rage Tail Space Monkey are excellent choices. For smaller fish or versatility, Fire Tiger Rooster Tails in smaller sizes have been performing well. If you’re targeting gar, consider using large baitfish or cut baits on heavy tackle to handle their size and strength. Be sure to check out the Falcon Dam area, as its deeper pools are consistently active for catfish and bass. Another hotspot is the rocky shorelines near Laredo, which are ideal for targeting largemouth bass and sometimes gar. Vegetated shallows along the riverbanks are also great for bass holding near cover. With favorable conditions and active fish, today’s a fantastic day to cast your line into the Rio Grande.

It’s a fine day for fishing here along the Rio Grande in Texas. Whether you're after bass, catfish, or carp, the river is alive with action, making it a great time to get out on the water. **Weather and Tides:** Today, sunrise was at 6:08 AM, and sunset will be at 6:39 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to plan your fishing. The weather is mild with clear skies and temperatures hovering in the mid-60s to low 70s. Winds are calm, making for smooth casting conditions. The tidal schedule shows the first low tide at 2:36 AM, followed by a high tide at 8:18 AM, another low tide at 2:11 PM, and the second high tide at 8:56 PM. These variations could influence fish activity near the banks and in deeper channel areas. **Fish Activity and Recent Catches:** The Rio Grande has been producing solid catches of channel catfish, largemouth bass, and common carp. Anglers have reportedly been pulling in channel catfish up to 14 inches and hefty common carp near shallow river bends. Bass fishing has been particularly rewarding around submerged structures, with largemouths actively feeding in the morning hours. **Best Baits and Lures:** For bass, try soft plastics like the Rage Tail Space Monkey in green pumpkin or watermelon colors, rigged Texas-style with a light weight for finesse presentations. Buzzbaits or topwater plugs can also work wonders during the early morning hours. For catfish, cut bait and stink bait are reliable options, especially near channel drop-offs or faster-moving water. Carp anglers have had luck using dough balls or corn on simple rigs. **Hot Spots:** 1. **Below the Falcon Reservoir Dam:** This area is a hotspot for catfish and bass due to the changes in water flow and oxygen levels, attracting fish to feed. 2. **Near Laredo’s Bridges:** The cover provided by structures like the Laredo International Bridge creates excellent habitat for largemouth bass and common carp. **Pro Tips:** - Focus efforts around high tide when fish are likely to move closer to the shore in search of baitfish and other food sources. - Use natural-shaded lures, such as green or brown, especially in the slightly stained water conditions common in parts of the Rio Grande. - For bass, work the edges of hydrilla and submerged trees slowly, as fish are less aggressive during the post-spawn period. Whether you’re fishing for sport or dinner, the Rio Grande is delivering plenty of excitement. Tight lines, and may your hooks always find their mark!

Today, April 11, 2025, the Rio Grande near the Texas border is delivering some excellent conditions for fishing. Here is your comprehensive fishing report. Starting with the tides, we have low tide at 1:47 AM and high tide rolling in at 7:44 AM. This is followed by another low tide at 1:42 PM and a final high tide for the day at 8:17 PM. These tidal shifts are perfect for timing your fishing sessions. The sunrise is at 6:09 AM, and sunset is at 6:39 PM, giving you a full day to cast those lines. The weather is expected to be mild today, with temperatures in the low-70s early, peaking in the low-80s by midday. Winds are light, making it an excellent day to be on the water. Fish activity is strong in the Rio Grande this week. Anglers have reported good catches of blue catfish, channel catfish, and the occasional flathead catfish. Alligator gar are also active, especially near deeper pools. White bass and largemouth bass are performing well, especially around rocky structures and deeper channels. Additionally, threadfin shad are spawning, which has attracted predator fish closer to the shorelines during early morning and evening hours. As for bait and lures, live shad and cut bait have proven incredibly effective for catfish and gar. For bass, try chatterbaits in white or chartreuse or topwater crankbaits early in the morning. Soft plastics like the Rage Tail Space Monkey in green pumpkin color are highly recommended in slightly stained waters with structure, such as rocks and submerged trees. For those targeting smaller fish or seeking versatility, small Rooster Tails in Fire Tiger color have been catching a variety of species. Notable hotspots include deep pools near the Falcon Dam area and rocky shorelines near Laredo. Both spots have shown consistent activity for bass, catfish, and alligator gar. Shallow areas with vegetation along the riverbanks are also good for targeting largemouth bass. In conclusion, it’s shaping up to be a perfect day for fishing on the Rio Grande. Get out there early, time your sessions with the tides, and don’t forget your topwater lures and live bait. Tight lines and happy fishing!

Today, April 11, 2025, the Rio Grande near the Texas border is delivering some excellent conditions for fishing. Here is your comprehensive fishing report. Starting with the tides, we have low tide at 1:47 AM and high tide rolling in at 7:44 AM. This is followed by another low tide at 1:42 PM and a final high tide for the day at 8:17 PM. These tidal shifts are perfect for timing your fishing sessions. The sunrise is at 6:09 AM, and sunset is at 6:39 PM, giving you a full day to cast those lines. The weather is expected to be mild today, with temperatures in the low-70s early, peaking in the low-80s by midday. Winds are light, making it an excellent day to be on the water. Fish activity is strong in the Rio Grande this week. Anglers have reported good catches of blue catfish, channel catfish, and the occasional flathead catfish. Alligator gar are also active, especially near deeper pools. White bass and largemouth bass are performing well, especially around rocky structures and deeper channels. Additionally, threadfin shad are spawning, which has attracted predator fish closer to the shorelines during early morning and evening hours. As for bait and lures, live shad and cut bait have proven incredibly effective for catfish and gar. For bass, try chatterbaits in white or chartreuse or topwater crankbaits early in the morning.

The tides are running about normal for this time of year, with a high tide around 8:30 AM and low tide hitting around 3:15 PM. Sunrise was at 7:34 AM and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:44 PM. Weather's been mighty fine lately - sunny skies with temps in the mid-70s. We've had a light breeze out of the southeast, perfect for keeping the mosquitos at bay while you're casting. Fish activity has been picking up as we head deeper into spring. The largemouth bass are in full spawning mode, moving into shallow water. Anglers have been having good luck with soft plastics like worms and creature baits in green pumpkin and blue fleck colors. Don't forget your trusty lipless crankbaits in red or chrome - those have been killer lately. Channel cats have been biting well on cut bait and stink baits. A few lucky folks have even hooked into some nice blue cats in the deeper holes. For you white bass enthusiasts, they're still running strong up the river. Small jigs and live minnows have been the ticket. We've seen some impressive catches lately. Just yesterday, ol' Billy Bob landed himself a 7-pounder largemouth using a Texas-rigged plastic worm. And Susie Mae pulled in a stringer of channel cats, with the biggest pushing 5 pounds. But the real excitement came last week when young Sally caught herself a 1.2 lb, 13.6" white bass - a new Rio Grande Water Body Record! Best spots to try your luck? The mouth of Terlingua Creek has been producing some nice bass, and the deep bend near Boquillas Canyon is always a good bet for catfish. If you're after white bass, head upriver towards Laredo. For live bait, can't go wrong with shiners or nightcrawlers. But if you're like me and prefer artificials, tie on a chartreuse spinnerbait or a watermelon red flake Senko and you'll be in business. Remember to keep an eye out for debris in the water - we've had some high water lately that's washed a lot of stuff downstream. And don't forget your sunscreen - that Texas sun can still pack a punch, even in March. Tight lines, amigos! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.

Artificial Lure here with your Rio Grande fishin' report for March 22, 2025. Let's start with the nitty-gritty. Tide's runnin' pretty normal today, with high tide hittin' around 9:30 AM and low tide comin' in at 3:45 PM. Sun's gonna peek over the horizon at 6:45 AM and bid us farewell at 7:25 PM. Weather-wise, we're lookin' at a mighty fine day with temps in the mid-70s and a gentle breeze comin' in from the southeast. Now, let's talk fish. The largemouth bass have been movin' into shallower water, gettin' ready to spawn. Folks have been havin' a ball with soft plastics - them green pumpkin and blue fleck worms and creature baits have been workin' like a charm. Don't forget your trusty lipless crankbaits in red or chrome neither. Channel cats have been bitin' somethin' fierce on cut bait and stink baits. A couple lucky anglers even hooked into some nice blue cats in the deeper holes. And for you white bass enthusiasts, they've started their spring run up the river. Small jigs and live minnows have been the ticket. Last few days, we've seen some real beauties come in. Jim Bob landed himself a 7-pounder largemouth, and Sally Mae pulled in a monster 15-pound blue cat. The white bass have been runnin' in schools, with most folks catchin' their limit without breakin' a sweat. For you live bait lovers, can't go wrong with shiners or nightcrawlers.

The mouth of Terlingua Creek has been producin' some nice bass, and the deep bend near Boquillas Canyon is always a good bet for catfish. If you're after them white bass, head upriver towards Laredo.

The tides are running about normal for this time of year, with high tide at 8:42 AM and low tide at 4:15 PM. Weather's looking mighty fine today, with clear skies and a high of 78°F. Sunrise was at 7:36 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:42 PM. Now, let's talk fish! The Rio Grande's been firing on all cylinders lately. We've seen a good number of largemouth bass, channel catfish, and even some white bass making their way upstream. Just yesterday, ol' Billy Bob landed himself a 7-pounder largemouth using a Texas-rigged plastic worm. Speaking of which, soft plastics have been the ticket lately, especially in watermelon red or green pumpkin colors. For you catfish enthusiasts, cut bait or stink bait near deeper holes has been producing some nice channels in the 3-5 pound range. Don't forget about those white bass, though. They've been hitting small crankbaits and inline spinners like nobody's business, especially early in the morning. Now, if you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying your luck around the Falcon Dam area. The water's a bit cooler there, and the fish have been stacked up nice. Another good bet is the stretch near Roma. Lots of structure there, and the bass have been loving it. For you bait fishermen, live minnows and nightcrawlers are always a safe bet. But if you're feeling adventurous, try tossing a chartreuse buzzbait around some of that shoreline vegetation. The topwater bite's been heating up with this warmer weather. Remember, folks, the key to success on the Rio Grande is to keep moving until you find the fish. They're out there, and they're hungry. So grab your tackle, head on out, and tight lines to ya!

This is Artificial Lure comin' at ya with the latest fishin' report for the Rio Grande area. It's March 11, 2025, and let me tell you, the fishin's been hotter than a jalapeno on a summer day! First off, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide comin' in at 7:11 AM, reachin' about 1.71 feet. Low tide's hittin' around 1:34 PM at 0.62 feet, and we'll see another high tide at 6:58 PM, climbin' to 1.21 feet. Sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and we'll be losin' daylight at 6:32 PM. Weather-wise, we're lookin' at a partly cloudy day with temps in the mid-70s. There's a light breeze comin' in from the southeast, which should make for some nice ripples on the water. Now, let's get to the good stuff - the fish! Folks have been haulin' in some real beauties lately. We're seein' a lot of largemouth bass, with quite a few in the 4-6 pound range. Channel catfish have been bitin' like crazy, and there's been a decent run of white bass too. Some lucky anglers even managed to snag a few alligator gar! For you bass hunters out there, I'd recommend tossin' some soft plastics like the Rage Tail Space Monkey in green pumpkin. Crankbaits in shad patterns have been workin' well too, especially in the deeper holes. If you're after those catfish, you can't go wrong with some good ol' stink bait or cut shad. White bass have been hittin' on small jigs and spinners, particularly in silver or white. And if you're brave enough to go after them gators, try some big swimbaits or even cut bait on a sturdy steel leader. As for hot spots, I'd say give the area around the Mission Main Canal a shot. It's been producin' some nice catches lately. If you're willin' to drive a bit, La Joya Lake has been on fire for bass. Remember, folks, the fish are out there waitin' for ya.

This is Artificial Lure comin' at ya with the latest fishin' report for the Rio Grande area. It's March 11, 2025, and let me tell you, the fishin's been hotter than a jalapeno on a summer day! First off, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide comin' in at 7:11 AM, reachin' about 1.71 feet. Low tide's hittin' around 1:34 PM at 0.62 feet, and we'll see another high tide at 6:58 PM, climbin' to 1.21 feet. Sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and we'll be losin' daylight at 6:32 PM. Weather-wise, we're lookin' at a partly cloudy day with temps in the mid-70s. There's a light breeze comin' in from the southeast, which should make for some nice ripples on the water. Now, let's get to the good stuff - the fish! Folks have been haulin' in some real beauties lately. We're seein' a lot of largemouth bass, with quite a few in the 4-6 pound range. Channel catfish have been bitin' like crazy, and there's been a decent run of white bass too. Some lucky anglers even managed to snag a few alligator gar! For you bass hunters out there, I'd recommend tossin' some soft plastics like the Rage Tail Space Monkey in green pumpkin. Crankbaits in shad patterns have been workin' well too, especially in the deeper holes. If you're after those catfish, you can't go wrong with some good ol' stink bait or cut shad. White bass have been hittin' on small jigs and spinners, particularly in silver or white. And if you're brave enough to go after them gators, try some big swimbaits or even cut bait on a sturdy steel leader. As for hot spots, I'd say give the area around the Mission Main Canal a shot. It's been producin' some nice catches lately. If you're willin' to drive a bit, La Joya Lake has been on fire for bass. Remember, folks, the fish are out there waitin' for ya.

First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from a cool 58°F to a mild 75°F. The wind is moderate, blowing at about 15 mph, which is manageable for most fishing conditions. Sunrise was at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:22 PM, giving us a good long day to get out on the water. Now, let's dive into the water conditions. The Rio Grande River is currently running with low water levels but clear visibility, which is typical for this time of year. This clarity makes it ideal for using smaller, more precise lures and baits. Recently, the fishing in the Rio Grande Valley has been quite promising. For freshwater fishing, the Rio Grande River itself and Falcon Reservoir in Zapata, Texas, have been hot spots. Large Mouth Bass are the most sought-after freshwater sportfish in this area, and trophy-sized bass are regularly caught here. Other popular catches include Crappie and Catfish[2]. In terms of specific catches, the Rio Grande has seen some impressive fish lately. While the records from the Texas side of the river don't match the massive sea-run brown trout caught in Argentina, we still have some notable catches. For instance, the all-time record for Striped Bass in the Rio Grande is 46.50 pounds, and for Largemouth Bass, it's 10.33 pounds[3]. For today's fishing, given the clear water conditions, smaller lures and baits are your best bet. If you're targeting bass, a Worden's Rooster Tail in a Fire Tiger coloration is an excellent choice. This lure is versatile and can catch a variety of fish sizes, from small panfish to larger bass. Other effective lures include plastic crawfish and spinner baits[4]. If you're looking to fish in the saltwater areas, South Padre Island and Port Mansfield offer great opportunities. The Lower Laguna Madre is a shallow, hypersaline lagoon home to species like Speckled Trout, Red Drum, and Black Drum. For these fish, using small jigs, shrimp, or even fly fishing with small patterns can be very effective[2]. Hot spots to consider today include the Rio Grande River near Zapata, where you can find good bass fishing, and Falcon Reservoir, which is known for its trophy-sized bass. For saltwater fishing, the shallow waters of the Lower Laguna Madre around South Padre Island are excellent for wade fishing and sight fishing from shallow draft boats. In summary, with clear water, moderate winds, and a range of fish activity, today is a great day to get out and fish in the Rio Grande Valley. Use smaller, precise lures like the Rooster Tail for freshwater fishing, and small jigs or shrimp for saltwater fishing. Good luck out there, and tight lines This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 68 degrees and a low of 50 degrees. The sun rises at about 7:04 AM and sets at 6:14 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and evening fishing. For those of you planning to fish in the Rio Grande itself, the water levels are currently normal, and the flow is decent. While the Rio Grande doesn't have significant tidal changes like coastal areas, the river's flow can be influenced by recent rainfall and irrigation activities. As of now, the flow is suitable for a variety of fishing techniques. Recently, the Rio Grande has been producing some excellent catches. Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass are active, especially in the upper sections of the river. You can also expect to catch Bluegill, Longear Sunfish, and Channel Catfish. For those targeting larger fish, there have been reports of Spotted Gar and Carp in the area[3][4]. If you're looking for hot spots, I highly recommend the Upper Guadalupe River, just above Canyon Lake. This stretch of the river offers a mix of pool and drop sections with clear water and abundant fish. It's a great place for wade fishing or using a kayak or float tube. Look for areas with cypress roots and the downstream side of rocks close to the bank, as these are favorite haunts for bass, sunfish, and channel cats[4]. Another spot worth mentioning is the Falcon Reservoir in Zapata, Texas. This large lake is known for its trophy-sized Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and Catfish. Professional guide services are available here, and it's a great place to use a variety of lures and baits[2]. For lures, I recommend using ultralight gear, especially ultralight fly gear, to target the variety of fish species in the Rio Grande. An olive bead head Wooly Bugger, a brown Muddler Minnow, and a red and white Clouser Minnow are some of my favorites. For conventional tackle, get your lures close to cover and use grubs and in-line spinners for bass, and jigs and minnows for crappie[4]. In terms of bait, live bait such as shad and minnows are always effective for larger fish like catfish and bass. For panfish, small jigs and tiny hooks with live worms or crickets can be very productive. So, gear up and get ready for a fantastic day of fishing on the Rio Grande. With the right lures and bait, and a bit of local knowledge, you're set for a memorable fishing trip in this beautiful Texas landscape.

Check the latest weather reports for any updates, but as of now, it's clear skies with a light breeze[2]. Sunrise is at 7:18 AM, and sunset will be at 5:41 PM, giving you a good window for fishing[4]. Tides are a crucial factor in the Rio Grande Valley. For today, the high tide is expected around 1:24 AM, and the low tide at 1:27 PM. The tidal coefficient is high, indicating significant tidal movement, which can affect fish activity[4]. ### Fish Activity The Rio Grande and its surrounding waters are known for their diverse fish populations. Recently, anglers have been catching large mouth bass, crappie, and catfish in the freshwater sections of the Rio Grande and Falcon Reservoir. In the lower sections of the Rio Grande, near the Gulf Coast, species like Speckled Trout, Red Drum (Redfish), Black Drum, and Tarpon are common. The Lower Laguna Madre, a shallow hypersaline lagoon, is particularly good for wade fishing and sight fishing from shallow draft boats[3]. ### Best Lures and Bait For largemouth bass, soft plastics around reed bases in 1-3 feet of water have been effective. Slow down your retrieve to trigger the lethargic winter bass. Crappie are biting well on chartreuse jigs and minnows around main lake boat docks and deep water trees[5]. For catfish, cut bait and stink bait around river channel bends have been successful. In deeper waters, using live bait and slabs for white bass and hybrid stripers is recommended[5]. ### Hot Spots - **Falcon Reservoir**: Known for its trophy-sized largemouth bass and crappie. The reservoir's diverse structure, including river channels and deep water, makes it an ideal spot for various fishing techniques. - **Lower Laguna Madre**: This shallow lagoon is perfect for wade fishing and sight fishing. It's home to a wide variety of fish species, including Speckled Trout and Red Drum.

Today, you can expect a high tide at 6:00 AM with a height of 0.5 meters, followed by a low tide at 12:58 PM with a height of 0.23 meters. The next high tide will be at 4:30 PM with a height of 0.27 meters, and the final low tide of the day will be at 11:08 PM with a height of 0.05 meters. Sunrise is at 6:57 AM and sunset at 6:13 PM. The weather is looking decent, but it's always a good idea to check the latest forecast before you head out. Fish activity in the Rio Grande has been moderate lately. Anglers have been reporting catches of Large Mouth Bass, Crappie, and Catfish. The Rio Grande cichlid, a local favorite, has also been active, especially in the warmer sections of the river. Yesterday, there were some impressive catches, including trophy-sized Large Mouth Bass from the river and Falcon Reservoir. Crappie and Catfish were also common, and there were reports of Rio Grande cichlids being caught in areas with favorable water temperatures. For Large Mouth Bass, soft plastics and crankbaits have been effective. For Crappie, jigs tipped with minnows or small jigs with curly tails are recommended. Catfish are biting well on nightcrawlers and stink baits. For Rio Grande cichlids, small fish, insects, and crustaceans make excellent bait. If you're looking for hot spots, consider Falcon Reservoir in Zapata, Texas, and the Lower Laguna Madre. Falcon Reservoir is known for its trophy-sized Bass and abundant Crappie and Catfish. The Lower Laguna Madre, a shallow hypersaline lagoon, is home to a wide variety of fish species, including Speckled Trout and Red Drum. Given the cold sensitivity of the Rio Grande cichlid, look for areas with warmer water temperatures, such as spring-fed sections or areas with some protection from the cold. Professional guide services are available and highly recommended, especially for those new to the area. Overall, it should be a good day for fishing in the Rio Grande, with the right conditions and bait likely to yield some impressive catches.

While the Rio Grande is a river and not directly influenced by ocean tides, the lower sections near the Gulf Coast can see some tidal effects. However, for the most part, you'll be dealing with river currents. If you're fishing in areas like the Lower Laguna Madre or near the mouth of the Rio Grande, you might want to note that the tidal coefficient is relatively average today, but this won't significantly impact your river fishing. The weather is expected to be mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to mid-60s Fahrenheit, which is typical for this time of year.

If you're looking for hot spots, Falcon Reservoir in Zapata, Texas, is a great place to start. The reservoir is known for its healthy population of Large Mouth Bass and other freshwater species. Another good spot is the lower reaches of the Rio Grande itself, particularly around the areas where the river meets the Gulf Coast, such as near South Padre Island.

While the Rio Grande is a river and not directly influenced by ocean tides, the lower sections near the Gulf Coast can see some tidal effects. However, for the most part, you'll be dealing with river currents. If you're fishing in areas like the Lower Laguna Madre or near the mouth of the Rio Grande, you might want to note that the tidal coefficient is relatively average today, but this won't significantly impact your river fishing. The weather is expected to be mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to mid-60s Fahrenheit, which is typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at about 7:20 AM, and sunset will be around 5:55 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish. Fish activity has been decent, especially for those targeting freshwater species.

Sunrise today is around 7:20 AM, and sunset will be about 5:30 PM. Tidal influences are minimal in the Rio Grande since it's a freshwater river, but water levels are a concern due to ongoing drought conditions, with reservoirs like Falcon and Amistad near historic lows[2]. Fish activity in the Rio Grande can be challenging during winter months. The Rio Grande cichlid, for example, is very sensitive to cold and is not active in waters below 49 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's not the best time to target them[3]. However, other species are more active. Channel catfish, white and black crappie, and largemouth bass are some of the fish you can catch here. For channel catfish, use cut bait or nightcrawlers, especially in areas with structure like rocks or sunken logs. Crappie can be caught using minnows or small jigs near submerged vegetation or bridge pilings. Largemouth bass can be targeted with soft plastics, lipless crankbaits, or spinnerbaits near creek entrances and laydowns[4]. Hot spots include the lower drainage area near Brownsville and the irrigation systems along the river. Falcon Reservoir, although experiencing low water levels, can also be a good spot for bass and crappie[4]. Given the warmer-than-normal temperatures, fish are likely to be more active than usual for this time of year. Look for areas with some cover, like submerged brush or rocky shorelines, and be patient as fish may be scattered due to the drought conditions. Remember to check your local fishing regulations and ensure you have a valid Texas freshwater fishing license before you head out.

For those targeting largemouth bass, soft plastics and lipless crankbaits have been working well near creek entrances and laydowns. If you're after crappie, they can be found in the deeper sections of the river, and minnows are a good choice for bait[4]. One of the hot spots right now is around the Falcon Reservoir in Zapata, Texas. This area has seen a lot of activity with both catfish and bass. Another spot worth checking out is the lower sections of the Rio Grande near South Padre Island, where you can catch a variety of fish including speckled trout and red drum[3]. In terms of specific lures, for catfish, shrimp and cut bait are your best bets. For bass, stick with soft plastics, lipless crankbaits, and maybe some Texas rigs. If you're fly fishing, Elk Hair Caddis Flies and small dry flies can be effective for trout and other species[1][4].

Today, you can expect a low tide at 00:25 AM, a high tide at 8:01 AM, another low tide at 2:57 PM, and a final high tide at 6:59 PM[2]. The weather is looking mild, with temperatures expected to range from the mid-50s to the low 70s, making it a good day for fishing. Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 5:57 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water[2]. Fish activity has been fair to good in recent days. White bass are particularly active, especially in the main river channels around buoys 17-23, where they are chasing bait balls in 20-35 feet of water. Stripers are also present, though their activity is a bit slower, and can be found near the dam and buoys in 20-25 feet of water. Black bass are active as well, especially in areas with some structure and cover[1][4]. Yesterday, anglers caught decent numbers of white bass, stripers, and black bass. For white bass and stripers, using lures that mimic bait balls such as jigs and spoons can be effective. For black bass, soft plastics on a Texas rig or Ned rig, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are good choices. Live bait like shad or minnows can also work well for all these species[1][4]. Some hot spots to consider include the main river channels where white bass are schooling, and the areas around the dam and buoys for stripers. For black bass, look for areas with submerged structures or good cover like rocks and weed beds. The Rio Grande River near Boquillas and Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park are also excellent spots, offering diverse habitats and a variety of fish species[1][3][4]. Remember to follow the birds, as they often indicate where the fish are schooling, and adjust your tactics based on the fish activity. With the mild weather and active fish, today should be a great day for fishing on the Rio Grande. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today, you can expect a high tide at 6:33 AM, a low tide at 1:23 PM, another high tide at 5:20 PM, and a final low tide at 11:44 PM. The tide heights are moderate, with the high tide reaching about 0.52 meters (1.71 feet) and the low tide at about 0.22 meters (0.72 feet)[2]. The weather is looking partly cloudy with mild temperatures, typical for this time of year. Expect highs around the mid-70s and lows in the mid-50s. Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:55 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. Fish activity has been fair to good in the Rio Grande. Anglers have reported catching black bass, white bass, and stripers. White bass are active in 25-35 feet of water on main river channels, particularly around bait balls. Stripers are fair around the dam and buyos in 20-25 feet of water. Black bass are also active, especially in areas with some structure and cover[4]. Yesterday, anglers caught decent numbers of white bass, stripers, and black bass. The white bass were schooling around bait balls, while stripers were found near the dam and buoys. Black bass were caught in areas with good cover and structure. For the best results, use vertical jigging or slabbing with ½-1 ounce spoons, as these continue to be the best producers. Crankbaits and swimbaits around rock piles and brush areas can also catch some big ones. For bait, live bait like minnows or shad can be effective, especially for white bass and stripers. Some hot spots to consider include the areas around the dam and buoys, as well as the main river channels where bait balls are present. The Lower Laguna Madre, a shallow hypersaline lagoon, is also a great spot for catching a variety of fish species, including Speckled Trout, Red Drum, and Black Drum[3].

Today, the high tides are at 5:48 AM and 4:32 PM, with low tides at 12:27 PM and 11:04 PM. The water levels are relatively moderate, which can be favorable for fishing[2]. The weather is expected to be mild, with sunrise at 6:52 AM and sunset at 5:55 PM. This time of year, the water temperatures are cooler, which affects the fish activity. Warm-water fish like the Rio Grande cichlid and bluegill are less active during this period, but other species remain viable targets[3]. In the Rio Grande, you can expect to catch a variety of fish species. Recently, anglers have been catching largemouth bass, crappie, and channel catfish. These fish are more active in the cooler months and can be found in the river's irrigation system and surrounding lakes[3][4]. For largemouth bass, using lures like soft plastics, jigs, and crankbaits can be effective. Crappie often bite well on small jigs and minnows. Channel catfish can be caught using nightcrawlers, chicken livers, or stink baits[4]. Hot spots include the Lower Rio Grande near Brownsville and the Falcon Reservoir in Zapata, Texas. The Lower Laguna Madre, though more known for saltwater fishing, also has areas where freshwater species can be found, especially around the river mouths and estuaries[4]. Given the cooler water temperatures, focus on areas with some cover like submerged logs, rocks, or weed beds where fish tend to congregate. Early morning and late afternoon are usually the best times to catch fish during this season. Remember to check your Texas fishing licenses and regulations before you head out.

The tide heights are moderate, with the high tide reaching about 0.65 meters (2.13 feet) and the low tide at about 0.16 meters (0.52 feet)[2]. ### Weather The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, typical for this time of year. Expect highs around the mid-70s and lows in the mid-50s. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 6:46 AM, and sunset will be at 5:49 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing. ### Fish Activity Fish activity has been fair to good in the Rio Grande. Anglers have reported catching black bass, white bass, and stripers. White bass are active in 25-35 feet of water on main river channels, particularly around bait balls. Stripers are fair around the dam and buoys in 20-25 feet of water. Black bass are also active, especially in areas with some structure and cover[4]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Yesterday, anglers caught decent numbers of white bass, stripers, and black bass. The white bass were schooling around bait balls, while stripers were found near the dam and buoys. Black bass were caught in areas with good cover and structure. ### Best Lures and Bait For white bass and stripers, using lures that mimic bait balls such as jigs and spoons can be effective. For black bass, soft plastics, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are good choices. Live bait like shad or minnows can also work well for all these species. ### Hot Spots Some hot spots to consider include the main river channels where white bass are schooling, and the areas around the dam and buoys for stripers. For black bass, look for areas with submerged structures or good cover like rocks and weed beds. Overall, the conditions are promising for a good day of fishing on the Rio Grande. Just remember to follow the birds, as they often indicate where the fish are schooling, and adjust your tactics based on the tide and fish activity.

Today, December 6, 2024, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 70 degrees and a low of 63 degrees, according to the forecast[3]. For tidal information, the Rio Grande, being a river, does not have significant tidal changes like coastal areas. However, if you're fishing near the mouth of the river where it meets the Gulf of Mexico, you might want to note the tidal times, but this is less relevant for the freshwater sections of the Rio Grande. Sunrise today is at about 6:58 AM, and sunset will be around 5:04 PM[3]. Fishing on the Rio Grande has been fair lately. White bass are active, particularly in the deeper sections of the main river channels. They are often found in 20-30 feet of water around bait balls. The best lures for white bass include rattle traps, spoons, and blade baits in shad patterns[5]. Black bass are also present, though their activity is a bit slower. They can be caught using buzzbaits, swimming jigs, square bill crankbaits, and soft plastics in depths ranging from 5-20 feet. Main lake points, secondary points, and areas with wood, ledges, and steep chunk rock banks are good spots to try[5]. Stripers are another target, and they are often found in 20-25 feet of water around the dam and buoys. Flutter spoons, swim baits, and large crankbaits are effective for catching stripers[5]. For bait, following the birds around bait balls can be a good strategy. Live bait such as shad or minnows can also be effective, especially for white bass and stripers. Hot spots include the main river channels, particularly around the Amistad Reservoir where the Rio Grande flows. The areas around the dam and the deeper sections of the river are usually productive. Another good spot is where the river bends and creates deeper pools and structures that attract fish[5]. Overall, it should be a decent day for fishing on the Rio Grande, with the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right spots.

Fishing in the Rio Grande has been good, particularly for those targeting white bass and stripers. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of these species in the deeper waters. White bass and stripers are actively following shad bait balls, so keep an eye out for those schools. For white bass and stripers, use spoons, Sabiki rigs, umbrella rigs, grubs, and small underspins in shad colors. Black bass are biting on Ned Rigs, shaky heads, deep diving suspending crankbaits, and slow dropping finesse baits like wacky worms and flukes. Channel catfish are biting well on cheese bait and cut bait. Try the areas around buoys 20-23 feet up the Rio Grande, as these have been particularly productive. The main lake points and the sections near the dam and the rock lines are also good spots, especially for channel catfish. Overall, the conditions are ideal for both boat and shore fishing, so you should have a great day out on the water.

Fishing in the Rio Grande has been good, particularly for those targeting white bass and stripers. Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of these species in the deeper waters. White bass and stripers are actively following shad bait balls, so keep an eye out for those schools. Alabama rigs, underspins, spoons, deep diving jerkbaits, and swim baits are your best bets. For specific hot spots, try the areas around buoys 20-23 feet up the Rio Grande and the main lake points. The section near the dam and the rock lines are also productive, especially for channel catfish which can be caught on cheese bait and cut bait. In the early morning, the shallow bite has slowed down, but the deep water bite from around 8 AM to 10:45 AM has been productive. Black bass have also been caught on the main lake points using similar lures. Overall, it's a great day to be out on the water, so grab your gear and enjoy the fishing on the Rio Grande. Always remember to stay safe and wear your life jackets.

White bass and stripers are also active, particularly in deeper waters following shad bait balls. **Recent Catches:** Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of white bass and stripers in the deeper waters around buoys 20-23 feet up the Rio Grande. Speckled trout and redfish were caught in areas like the jetties and around San Luis Pass. **Best Lures and Bait:** For speckled trout and redfish, live natural baits such as live shrimp and finger mullet are working well. If you prefer artificial lures, larger paddle tails in purple and chartreuse, as well as straight tail lures like Coastal Brew’s 6-inch darts in purple and orange crush, have been effective. For white bass and stripers, Alabama rigs, underspins, spoons, deep diving jerkbaits, and swim baits are highly recommended. **Hot Spots:** The far west side of San Luis Pass and areas around the jetties are highly recommended for targeting speckled trout and redfish. For white bass and stripers, focus on the areas around buoys 20-23 feet up the Rio Grande. The main lake points and rock lines near the dam are also productive spots.

The wind is moderate, blowing at about 10 miles per hour, which should provide a comfortable fishing environment. There is a slight chance of precipitation, but it is not expected to significantly impact your fishing plans. The water level in the Rio Grande is slightly below normal, and the water temperature is around 85 degrees Fahrenheit with a slightly stained clarity. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at approximately 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 7:30 PM, giving you ample time to fish during the optimal early morning and late evening hours. ### Fish Activity Trout, particularly rainbow trout, have been active in the deeper pools and around structure such as rocks and weed lines. They tend to feed early in the morning and late in the evening when the water is cooler. Smallmouth bass are active in the shallower areas, especially around grass edges and retaining walls. Northern pike can also be found, often seeking cooler, more shaded areas. ### Recent Catches The Rio Grande Gorge above Pilar was recently stocked with rainbow trout on September 6, and this area has been producing good catches. Wild brown trout and northern pike are also present in this section. ### Best Lures and Bait For trout, use small to medium-sized lures such as spinners, spoons, and dry flies. Live bait like worms and minnows can also be effective. If you're after smallmouth bass, consider using soft plastics, crankbaits, and topwater baits, especially around rocky structures and weed lines. For northern pike, larger spoons and spinners, as well as live bait like shad or minnows, are recommended. ### Hot Spots The Rio Grande Gorge above Pilar is a promising spot, especially after the recent stocking of rainbow trout. Another good location is the Orilla Verde Recreation Area on the Rio Grande at Pilar, which also hosts wild brown trout, northern pike, and smallmouth bass. ### Local Tips Local anglers recommend fishing from a float tube or kayak to navigate the river more effectively and reach areas that might be difficult to access from the shore. The best times to fish are early in the morning from around 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and again in the late evening from around 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, when the water is cooler and fish are most active. Enjoy your fishing trip to the Rio Grande, and remember to respect local regulations and the environment to ensure a sustainable fishing experience for everyone.

Follow the shad bait balls, and you'll likely find the fish right under them. For these species, using Alabama rigs, underspins, spoons, deep diving jerkbaits, and swim baits have been highly effective. For other species, the Rio Grande has seen some good catches of rainbow trout and wild brown trout. The area around Pilar has been stocked recently with rainbow trout, and there are also northern pike and smallmouth bass present. In terms of the best lures and bait, for the white bass and stripers, go with shad pattern crankbaits, topwater baits in bone and shad colors, and deep diving jerkbaits. For trout, live bait and small jigs have been working well. If you're looking for hot spots, consider the area around buoys 20-23 for the white bass and stripers.
