Rockport, TX Fishing Report – December 26th, 2015

Rick shows off his first ever redfish. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. The Rockport, TX fishing report remains pretty good through the holiday. The temps have remained quite warm here in the greater Rockport area. We have also had a series of inversions which have made things a little funky out there. This has produced a bunch of fog in the mornings, making the fishing pretty tough. But once the sun comes out, so do the redfish. We have another day or so of warm weather, but very high winds. This will be blowing in a bit of a cold front for early next week. Temps

Rockport Fishing Report – December 22nd, 2015

Searching deep into the creeks around Rockport, TX So here is your pre-Christmas Rockport fishing report... Despite some less than desirable weather the past few days, fishing has remained pretty good. Not great, but ok. The change in pressure has spooked some of the fish for sure. But we are still finding plenty of targets around. It just might take a little extra looking, or some crafty water selections. A few of the fish today were a bit more touchy than normal. Sometimes as to be expected with changing weather patterns. But a few had us scratching our heads a little bit. But again, the opportunities were

Rockport Fishing Report – December 13th, 2015

Another evening solo mission proves successful Your Rockport fishing report remains pretty solid. Fishing has remained quite good, with the warm weather. Plenty of fish in shallow, which means lots of targets. In the right water, we are seeing some fairly decent sized schools of fish cruising the flats as well. We have a little bit of a front moving through this weekend, bringing with it a bunch of wind and more rain than anticipated. But temps have remained warm throughout. So this is of little concern. It is expected to blow out of here Sunday afternoon. Your Rockport fishing report is looking good for the upcoming week.

Ed with his first redfish on the fly in Rockport, TX Here is your Rockport Fishing Report for Sunday December, 6th... With the recent change in the weather, the fishing has been very good. Its amazing what a little sunshine will do! The past few days have been clear, warmer and low winds. This has enabled us to fish pretty much anywhere we want with very good success. We are seeing plenty of fish in shallow throughout the day. Tailing fish can be seen in the right water. And reds crashing bait in the grass has been a mainstay throughout the day.

Texas Fly Fishing Report – Dec 3rd, 2015

Adam with his first Redfish on the fly in Rockport, TX Finally a break in the weather! And the Texas fly fishing in Rockport is back on track. Today was the first day in a long run of nice days coming up. And maybe the first day we have seen the sun in well over a week. Kind of a nice bonus, while Texas fly fishing. With the sun coming out today, so did the fish. First thing in the morning we found a couple small schools of tailing reds. They were eating and eating well. After hooking one, we moved on to search a few

Rockport Fishing Report – December 1st, 2015

This crap weather has got to go!!! I'm getting a little tired of these "tough" Rockport fishing reports. I'm also getting a little tired of this cold weather. I assume the fish are as well. This has been a pretty long push of cold weather for us, this time of year. It has made the fly fishing quite tough. This means a lot of searching, for few fish in shallow. But persistence will pay off... eventually. You can sneak a few trout out here and there, if you are willing to blind cast. But the sight fishing is really tough with these storms overhead. The good news is, the end

Rockport, Texas Fishing Report – Nov 27, 2015

James with a nice red near Port Aransas, TX I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Now for your up to date Rockport, Texas fishing report. Fishing remains very good in the Rockport area. Although we have had a little weather coming and going lately. We recently experienced a little cold front passing through for a couple of days. This brought with it some rain, heavy North winds and very cold temps. But despite that, we were still able to get out and find some fish. Now, we are again saddled with a little bit of weather. Temps will remain warm, but we are stuck with a bunch

Rockport Fly Fishing Report – Nov 16, 2015

Nice release shot of this redfish on the fly in Rockport, Texas We finally had a little break in the weather yesterday afternoon. It was nice to be able to get out on the water and see some fish. There was a little bit of a breeze to contend with, but nothing too serious. All in all, a nice break in the weather. The next two days will see another small storm front passing through. But behind it we have clear skies, no wind and very fishy weather. Wednesday on this week looks outstanding for fishing. The redfish have been cooperative out there lately. They are eating a

John with a nice Rockport, TX trout on the fly. Before we get to your mid-November Fly Fishing Rockport Texas report... Jim Ferguson, if you read this, you provided me the wrong email address. Get back in touch and I will be happy to return your message. Anyway, fly fishing in Rockport has been pretty good lately. We still have some pretty high water, although after a few storms from the North, it has blown a little of the water out. But not much. We are still seeing plenty of reds pushed way into the grass throughout the day. Again, this has made for some very fun fishing.

Fly Fishing Rockport Report

The fly fishing in Rockport has been very good as of late. We are still seeing some fairly high tides in the greater Rockport area. While this does have some of the fish a little spread out and scattered in places, it also allows many of our redfish to move in very close to the banks. We are seeing fish deep in the grass, mangroves and marshes. This has made for some very fun sight fishing. If you can get your fly into some tight spots in the grass, the fish have been very willing to eat. We are getting them to eat a variety of fly patters while fly
