Everything to Know About Booking a Fishing Charter in Aransas Pass

What are the best fishing charters in Aransas Pass?

Aransas Pass Fishing Charter Overview

Aransas Pass, situated near Redfish Bay, is an ideal location for fishing enthusiasts seeking access to some of South Texas' most productive waters. With the guidance of an Aransas Pass fishing guide, anglers can explore the abundant natural resources of the Redfish, Aransas, and Corpus Christi Bays, as well as the deep waters of the Gulf.

The diverse range of fishing grounds in the area offers opportunities to catch a variety of fish species, including Sheepshead, Flounder, Trout, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, Cobia, Amberjack, Tuna, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Red Snapper. Half-day trips are available for beginners and families, while longer trips of up to twelve hours or multiple days are suitable for more experienced anglers.

It is important to note that all anglers over the age of 17 must obtain a license to fish in Texan waters, including a saltwater permit. Additionally, those seeking to catch Bull Redfish over 28 inches must purchase a Red Drum tag. Bag and size limits are enforced and will be monitored by the fishing guide.

Aransas Pass Inshore Fishing

The endless cuts, channels, and over 14,000 acres of grass flats make Aransas Pass an inshore fishing paradise. Flounder opportunities peak during their migration to the gulf from October to December. They can be caught on a rod and reel in channels or gigged in shallow water under bright light.

Speckled Trout fishing peaks between December and March but can be caught into the summer. On warm days trout can be found in shallow water and near drop-offs. If the weather turns cold, these fish will often move to deeper water. March and April tend to be the prime time for rounding up sheepshead. Throw shrimp around rocks and jetties and you are sure to get hooked on sheepshead.

Aransas Pass Flats Fishing for Redfish

Late summer to fall is the redfish run ahead of their winter spawn. This is when you will get the big bull reds coming in and get your shot at a new personal best. Throwing live or artificial bait around jetties, and shallow bars can bring success throughout the year. If you enjoy a challenge, sight fishing for reds on the grass flats is bound to test your skills and make your heart race.

Aransas Pass has all the inshore action you can handle but offshore fishing trips are less common. Nearby Port Aransas will provide plenty of offshore fishing opportunities, and is only a short drive away.

    5 STARS Captain Corey is truly top-notch! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel welcome, safe, and excited for the day ahead.

    Trip: Aransas Pass Bay Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    My son and I hired Capt. Mark for a 4 hour bay fishing trip. The first few hours were very slow. My son caught a keeper trout and had a nice Red on that broke the line. We were anchored up and fishing with Live Croakers. At the end of our 4 hours, Capt. Mark asked if we would like to fish for Reds using top water baits (Zara Spooks). We agreed and Mark took us to an area that was shallow and you could see the Reds working. My son had two or three blowups on his line and I had one. None of the strikes yielded a fish. We did fish for about 7 hours and Capt. Mark worked hard to put us on the fish. At the end of the day, we only had the one keeper trout. My son and I are both experienced anglers but rarely fish salt water. We used Mark's equipment (spinning rigs) and we are more accustomed to Basit Casters. All in all we had a good time and Capt. Mark was a pleasure to fish with. We did expect to catch more fish on a guided trip but, it's called fishing for a reason. Not sure we will be doing another guided bay fishing trip in the near future, but I would give Capt. Mark another try.

    We took a charter for three people with varying levels of experience. Captain Joe was great at catering to each persons ability level, made everyone feel at ease and worked hard to put us on the fish. I would definitely recommend Captain Joe and will be using him again in the future!
