Rio Grande Fishing Forecast Heating Up for Trout, Reds, and Catfish

Mornin’ Rio Grande anglers. 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.
