The ladies and I may be headed to South Padre this fall since the flights are shorter (key with a hyper 2.5yo) and cheaper than Mexico. Anyone ever stayed there or fished there? My preliminary research shows the DIY options pretty good since the Bay is mostly one huge shallow flat with lots of public access and no need for a boat in most spots. Plus the jetties, which I read get the big tarpon coming through the pass in the fall. I'll probably be after redfish since I've fished for them before a few times and my biggest setup is an 8wt. I don't think I can justify something bigger for tarpon since I'll probably only have one morning free to fish. Knowing my girls I assume most of our free time will be spent in the waterpark or at the beach. Any advice, rec's on fishing, places to eat, any can't miss stuff?
