What is flounder fishing in Port Aransas all about?

Flounder fishing in Port Aransas, Texas, presents anglers with an exciting opportunity to target these prized flatfish in the rich waters of the Gulf Coast. Port Aransas boasts an abundance of flounder habitat, including sandy bottoms, shallow flats, and nearshore structures, making it an ideal destination for anglers seeking to hook into these elusive fish. Flounder are known for their camouflage-like appearance and ambush hunting tactics, which require anglers to employ strategic techniques to entice them into biting.

One popular method for flounder fishing in Port Aransas is bottom fishing with live bait, such as mud minnows, mullet, or shrimp. Anglers target flounder by casting their bait along channel edges, drop-offs, or nearshore structures where flounder are likely to lie in wait for passing prey. Using a Carolina rig or fish-finder rig with a sliding sinker allows anglers to present their bait effectively on the bottom, enticing flounder to strike. Patience is key when bottom fishing for flounder, as anglers must wait for the subtle bite and then set the hook with a quick, but gentle, motion to avoid spooking the fish.

Another effective technique for flounder fishing in Port Aransas is jigging with artificial lures, such as soft plastics or jigging spoons. Anglers target flounder by casting or jigging their lures along the bottom, mimicking the movement of prey that flounder find irresistible. Jigging allows anglers to cover a larger area and experiment with different lure presentations to entice flounder into striking. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or the shoreline, Port Aransas offers anglers ample opportunities to hook into these delicious and challenging fish, making it a premier destination for flounder enthusiasts.

    We did not have a good experience. The seas were very rough, we got sea sick, completely drenched and my husband fell out of his wheelchair when the boat hit a big wave at about mile 13 or 14. He was stayed seated on the floor of the boat as we attempted to continue out. After about 1.5 hours, we were less than 20 miles out, we decided to ask the captain to turn around.
