Fishing is heating up in the Aransas Pass area right along with the weather!
As the water temperatures rise fish will become more aggressive making it much easier for us to pin point a feeding pattern.
Redfish and keeper sized black drum have been the target species these last few weeks. Fresh dead shrimp has been the bait of choice for the black drum. Some days they prefer the shrimp completely peeled. Always give that a try if they don't seem to like it with the shell on.
Most of our Redfish catches have been while using fresh dead shrimp...

Most of our Redfish catches have been while using fresh dead shrimp or cut up blue crab. Also a few on live pinfish and cut mullet.
Seasons are changing fast and spring break is only a few weeks away. Fishing should only get better from here. Come on down and try your luck!
Fishing has been great around rocks and structure. Popping Cork and shrimp with 4 Horseman popping corks have been the key. Also shrimp rigged on bottom with a jig head for drum.

Well with this bipolar south Texas winter weather the fishing has been anything but consistent. That being said a lot of fishing guides are having trouble finding and keeping the fish patterned. But never the less I have been giving it 100% every chance I have had to get on the water.

Fishing with my clients has been awesome. The tides have been really low to almost a normal tide height for this time of year. Yesterday we had some fog so we waited for it to lift some and then we headed to the location we were going to fish. Never moved. I'm gonna say we landed 30 plus redfish from undersized to maximum legal limit. We had caught our 4 limits .

You might get lucky (as long as things are in-season).

Very much enjoyed the trip. Caught several reds and 4 were keepers. Learned an great deal from Capt Travis about fishing in these waters. It was information I can use on my next trip out. Thanks Travis.
I would highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Corey. He’s a great guy who worked really hard to get us on the fish. We had a good time fishing and will definitely book him the next we are in Port Aransas.
My partner and I had a great experience with Captain David. We arrived at the dock a little early and he was ready and waiting. He knew what was biting (redfish!) And where/how to catch them. David knows the area well and taught me a lot and I would definitely recommend him. Personally, I will be booking him again.
Had good knowledge of the fisheries. Put us on fish on a tough fishing day. Other boats did not fair as well this day. Will book again when we are down here.
