South Padre Island has always been a dream fishing destination, with some of the best offshore angling in the Gulf. Now, with Texas’ first large-scale Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) network offshore, it’s even better. These four cutting-edge structures serve as fish magnets, attracting species like mahi-mahi, tuna, and wahoo. Their deployment reflects a commitment to sustainable fishing practices, improves fishery management, and results in a thriving ecosystem that will enhance fishing opportunities for generations to come.
