The most commonly sought after species in Rockport are: 1. redfish, 2. speckled trout, 3. black drum, 4. flounder, and 5. sheepshead.

The most common fishing techniques in Rockport are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing but drift fishing and bottom 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.

Living & Fishing In Rockport, Texas

Rockport is situated on the western side of the Gulf of Mexico, but protected by barrier islands that form the intracoastal canal. Originally a small fishing village, the city quickly grew in the mid-1920's due to a booming shrimping industry that drove up populations numbers.

Since then, Rockport has become a popular destination for vacationers looking to fish, relax on the local beaches, and enjoy area attractions like the many art galleries that dot the downtown area. In fact, Rockport was named as one of The 100 Best Small Art Towns of America by Americans for the Arts.

Whether you're fishing in Rockport for the first time or have plenty of history with the area, we make it simple to find, book and manage your next fishing trip with the best fishing guides in Rockport. Search for your next trip and reserve online in minutes.

Rockport Fishing Species and Geography Overview

For those seeking a diverse angling experience on the Gulf Coast, a Rockport, Texas fishing guide is the perfect solution. These experts will take you on a journey through a variety of waterways, from the shallow flats to the deep offshore waters, in search of some of Texas' most beloved fish species.

Bay fishing is a popular activity in South Texas, and Rockport offers access to the productive waters of Copano and Aransas Bays. Here, anglers can target a range of prized fish, including Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and even Tarpon.

But the benefits of a Rockport fishing guide don't stop at the bays. Venturing beyond the jetties to the nearshore and offshore waters of the Gulf opens up opportunities to target Amberjack, Cobia, Groupers, Snappers, and big game fish like Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Billfish.

Rockport fishing guides cater to anglers of all ages and skill levels, with trips ranging from a couple of hours for family outings to full-day excursions for serious anglers. Offshore adventures may require multiple days on the water.

Before embarking on a fishing trip in the Texas coastal bend, anglers must obtain a valid TX saltwater fishing license. Rockport fishing guides ensure compliance with all legal size and bag limits, allowing anglers to focus on the thrilling fishing experience.

Inshore Fishing in Rockport

The Texas Coastal Bend, with Rockport at its heart, is an inshore angler’s paradise, and our Rockport fishing guides hold the keys! Crystal-clear waters abound, providing opportunities for wade fishing with live bait or artificial lures, drift fishing from your captain’s boat, and some of the best saltwater fly fishing around.

If you are after giant bull redfish or massive speckled trout, head to Rockport from late summer to fall when these beasts come pouring in. If you are looking to elevate your fishing trip, try tackling Rockport reds on a fly. Nearby, Baffin Bay is responsible for the state record speckled trout and redfish and could be the ticket to setting a new personal best.

Nearshore / Deep Sea Fishing in Rockport

While Rockport offers an abundance of riches for inshore Redfish and Speckled Trout fishing, we’d definitely recommend checking out our Port Aransas trips for deep sea opportunities. Just across Aransas Bay, Port Aransas offers immediate deep sea access for species like Tuna, Red Snapper, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and Marlin.

There are plenty of modern offshore boats available for charter. From multi-day bluewater excursions on flybridge sportfishers, bouncing around reefs on quick center consoles, and everything in between - Rockport deep sea charters have it all.

    Got out with Mitch for a buddy's bachelor party and had an absolute blast! Some of the guys hadn't fished in a while (or at all) but Mitch was super patient in showing them the ropes. Mitch fishes super high quality tackle, had plenty of bait, and the boat was running smooth. We ripped it to a number of spots from surf fishing outside the jetties to countless inshore spots. We missed a few bites but had an awesome time, thanks Mitch! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences
