I'm not gonna say its going to be cool (especially in the summer time) but atleast it will be cooler than fishing around mid day! Depending on the time of year and fishing conditions, your charter will be in Estes Flats, Aransas Bay, Red Fish Bay, Aransas Bay, and possibly over in the Laguna Madre and the Gulf Surf. When Captain Jeff launches out of the Redfish Camp Boat Ramp in Aransas pass he is primarily targeting the limits of Red Fish and big Trout in popping corks through the bays, sight fishing the shallows, or drifting shell bottoms. You will target four fish in particular: Red Fish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum.
