There have been a lot of fish on the flats, but cloudy skies make it challenging. Still possible to get out and catch some great fish

Trout bite has been good with croaker when you can find a good concentration of slot trout.

Nino Gonzalez Corpus Christi, Texas Reported: 2 years ago

On September 30th, a group of four went out on a charter to Baffin Bay. The goal of the trip was to catch some redfish, trout, and drum.
We started fishing right away and had some success catching redfish. After a few hours, we had landed quite a few redfish. We also caught a few trout and drum while we were out.
Unfortunately, while we were out, heavy rain storms chased us away from Baffin Bay. We took the opportunity to take a break and wait for the rain to pass.
Once the rain had passed, we returned to Baffin Bay and were able to finish up our redfish limit. We were back to weigh in by noon.
All in all, our charter was a success. Despite the heavy rain storms, we were able to get our redfish limit and get back to weigh in on time. We look forward to our next charter and the chance to catch even more fish.

Past couple of weeks have definitely meant focusing on a sunrise bite. With the hot temperatures fish have been dropping off into deeper water very soon after sunrise.

Aransas Pass, Texas
Reported: 2 years ago

The summer fishing has been very good, with lots of tailing fish. At least as long as the flats are quiet, plan on an earlier than normal start and finish (same time on the water) to avoid the afternoon heat. However the coastal winds keep it cooler than inland Texas.

Cory was a great guide. He really tried to put us on fish on what was otherwise a slow day. He is a good guy with good stories. I will use him again next time I am in Port A.

Trip: Rockport Redfishing
★★★★★
Had an awesome time on our deep sea fishing charter! From start to finish, the crew made the whole experience smooth, fun, and memorable. Huge shoutout to Banjo, Marshall, and Kaylee they were knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely great to be around. They kept us on the fish, helped every step of the way, and made sure everyone was having a good time. We ended up catching some really solid fish, which made the trip even better. If you’re looking for a crew that knows what they’re doing and makes the day enjoyable, I’d absolutely recommend them. Looking forward to coming back out again!

Great morning with Travis. Got us onto fish straight away and our two boys loved it. A 30” redfish started things off and we finished with a 5-6ft alligator gar, with plenty of others between them. Highly recommend a trip out with Travis!

Trip: Inshore/Flats Fishing Trip

Captain Brad was an outstanding guide who got us right on the fish! My wife and I caught a big red, maxed our sheepshead counts, and had a tasty speckled trout. Brad is a great guide, very hospitable, easy to talk to, and goes out of his way to make sure you have a great experience. We will definitely request him again in the future!
