Hey! Good morning, started back up this week after the holidays. Water temps have cooled off and water temps have dropped. Surf is full of big redfish slots and oversize. At the same time the sharks, stingrays and trash fish have all gone to deeper waters and are very rare for the next few months. I expect the bite to continue to be mid-day & afternoon as the waters warm up and get the bait moving

Rockport/Aransas Pass area, we have had a great weather pattern lately as well as lower tides. Those 2 things combined have resulted in some great catching days. Water temps in low 70s, air temps in upper 70s, fish have gotten concentrated in drains and guts. I only use artificial baits, fishing over grass flats with pots holes close to deeper water. Downsouth lures, Pavlures, knocking tail lures with soft dines and double Ds. Multiple flavors all based on water clarity. Incorporating the major and minors will help give you more opportunities to catch fish.

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!

Ruben was very easy to get along with and knowledgeable on the area we were fishing ( inshore )! He has a very nice boat, and we caught fish on a tough day! He was in touch with other Guides during the day to get info on the best areas! We will fish again on our next trip to the area! Barry W

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!

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!
