# Rio Grande Valley Fishing Report - Thursday, November 27, 2025
Well hey there, folks! 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.
