The most common fishing techniques in Texas are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and bottom fishing but drift fishing and artificial lure fishing are popular as well.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What is jetty fishing in Texas all about?

Jetty fishing in Texas is a popular and rewarding pursuit for both local anglers and visitors looking to experience the state’s rich coastal fisheries. Texas jetties, such as those in Port Aransas, Galveston, and South Padre Island, provide ideal fishing spots due to the diverse marine life attracted to these structures. The jetties create a habitat for various baitfish and crustaceans, which in turn draw larger predatory fish. These locations offer easy access to deep water and strong currents, enhancing the opportunity to catch a variety of fish species.

The variety of fish available when jetty fishing in Texas is impressive. Common catches include redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead, and Spanish mackerel. Redfish and speckled trout are particularly popular targets due to their abundance and the challenge they present. Anglers often use live bait such as shrimp, mullet, and crabs, which are highly effective in attracting these species. Additionally, artificial lures like soft plastics, spoons, and topwater plugs are frequently used to entice strikes from these game fish.

Techniques for jetty fishing in Texas can vary based on the target species and conditions. For example, bottom fishing with live bait is a common method for targeting flounder and redfish, while casting lures along the jetty rocks can be effective for speckled trout and Spanish mackerel. Many anglers prefer to fish during the changing tides, as the movement of water can stimulate feeding activity. Safety is also a priority when fishing on the jetties, as the rocks can be slippery and the currents strong. Wearing proper footwear and keeping an eye on the tides and weather conditions can ensure a safe and successful fishing experience.

What are the most popular months to go jetty fishing in Texas?

What techniques are popular for jetty fishing in Texas?

Jetty fishing in Texas can be enjoyed throughout the year, with each season offering unique opportunities and challenges. In the spring, as water temperatures begin to rise, many species become more active and move closer to the jetties to feed and spawn. This season is particularly favorable for catching redfish and speckled trout. Anglers often find success using live shrimp or mullet, as these fish are drawn to the abundance of food around the jetties. The mild weather during spring makes for comfortable fishing conditions, attracting many anglers to Texas' coastal jetties.

Summer is another prime season for jetty fishing in Texas, despite the heat. The warmer waters attract a wide variety of species, including flounder, Spanish mackerel, and sheepshead. Early mornings and late evenings are the best times to fish during the summer months, as the temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Anglers often use a mix of live bait and artificial lures to target these species. The increased activity around the jetties during summer also provides opportunities to catch larger fish as they come closer to the shore to hunt for prey.

Fall offers excellent jetty fishing conditions in Texas as fish prepare for the cooler winter months. This season is particularly good for targeting redfish and speckled trout, with many larger individuals caught during this time. The fall migration of baitfish like mullet brings predatory species closer to the jetties, making it an ideal time for anglers. Using live bait that mimics these baitfish, such as finger mullet or menhaden, can be very effective. The cooler weather in fall also makes for pleasant fishing conditions, and the reduced number of anglers compared to summer can result in a more peaceful and productive fishing experience.

What species are popular for jetty fishing in Texas?

Jetty fishing in Texas offers a variety of techniques that cater to different species and angler preferences. One common method is bottom fishing, which involves using live or cut bait such as shrimp, mullet, or crabs. This technique is particularly effective for catching redfish, flounder, and sheepshead, which tend to feed near the bottom around the structure of the jetties. Anglers typically use a Carolina rig or a simple bottom rig, with a weight to keep the bait near the bottom and a leader to prevent the line from getting tangled in the rocks.

Another popular technique is casting artificial lures, which can be highly effective for targeting species like speckled trout and Spanish mackerel. Anglers often use soft plastic baits, jigs, spoons, and topwater plugs to mimic the movement of baitfish and other prey. When using this method, it’s important to vary the speed and rhythm of the retrieve to find what works best on any given day. Casting lures along the edges of the jetties and retrieving them through the water column can entice strikes from predatory fish lurking around the rocks.

Fly fishing is also gaining popularity among jetty anglers in Texas, offering a unique and challenging way to catch fish. Using fly rods and custom-tied flies that imitate shrimp, baitfish, or crabs, anglers cast their flies along the jetty rocks and into the currents. This technique requires precise casting and good control to present the fly naturally. Fly fishing can be particularly effective for species like redfish and speckled trout, which are attracted to the jetties to feed. Regardless of the technique, safety and preparation are key, as the rocks can be slippery and the currents strong. Proper gear, including sturdy footwear and appropriate fishing equipment, can enhance both the safety and success of jetty fishing in Texas.

    Captain Meghan's fishing trip started at 12:30 Aug 8 and we knew it would be hot but it was easier for us to take a late trip. CAPTAIN Trenton met us on time at the dock. Directions and all details were provided be email and text the day before. Pedro assisted Captain Trenton on our trip. They both showed us where to store our snacks and drinks. We stopped in the marina to buy live bait and ice and more drinks. Both Captain Trenton and Pedro told us to stay hydrated and let them know if we did not feel well due to motion or heat. They also said we could stand under the shade. They were frequently making sure our 6 year old granddaughter was feeling ok. They made sure we all had the opportunity to reel in fish and they navigated to new places when we were not getting bites. They helped teach our granddaughter to reel in fish, holding the rod with her. The sharks and rays were very heavy. We caught some and a few were too big to get in the boat. It was lots of fun for all 3 of us. Two of us got in the water beside the boat to cool off.. when we returned. Captain cleaned our fish, took pictures for us and packaged our filets to take home. This was the best adventure for our Galveston vacation. The Captain and Pedro were great in all aspects of the trip. Both were kind, helpful, courteous and pleasant. Captain told us to call in the future to find out how the fishing is going when we are ready to take our next trip. Theboat was in excellent condition and was cleaned up immediately when we returned. They take good care of all the equipment. We never had any difficulty at all during the trip. We highly recommend Captain Meghan's fishing trips, and Captain Trenton and Pedro.

    Captain Blake was amazing, he put us on big fish early in the morning and we caught fish the entire time we were out. He was super patient with my 9 year old grandson and 83 year old father. We caught some really big Reds, 2 of which we had to tag, lots of drum including the 2 trophies we had to catch and release of 32 & 40 inches. He will be our Captain of choice for future trips. He exceeded my expectations by miles.

    Captain Cody took my son and me out on a Friday morning. We caught a variety of fish including redfish, sheephead, flounder, speckled trout, black drum, and golden grouper (see photos). My son and I are a couple of novices. Cody was super patient with us. He helped us bait hooks, get lines untangled, remove pesky hardheads, etc. without ever seeming frustrated with us. He cleaned our fish the way we wanted. He took the time to teach us several tricks for catching fish. Overall it was a great experience and we plan to use him again in the future.

    Mike knew the bay very well and did his best to put us on fish. I only had two issues with the trip. It might just be his personality, but I found him to be condescending when I asked questions. I also think he fishes too much. It was like we paid to take him fishing.
