Rockport Fishing Report – May 17th

It's the end of another week, and time for an update to the Rockport Fishing Report. We got behind a bit on our reports. Mainly due to a complete computer meltdown here at the mothership. But after a lot of cursing, and pounding on things, a shiny new computer or two are the newest additions to the family over here. So, we are back in action and will be keeping our Rockport Fishing Reports up to date once again. Things on the Coastal Bend of Texas are pretty good right now. All of the marinas and boat ramps are open again. Although you may notice that most have kept

Rockport Fishing Report – April 20th

A little later than planned, but time for another Rockport Fishing Report for mid to late April. We are a bit behind schedule from our last report. Sorry about that. Maybe us non-essential people are just taking that to heart a bit too much? Either way, we will fill you in with what we are seeing out on the water while fly fishing the Texas flats in and around Rockport, Texas. Since our last report, a few things have changed around here, but not too many. One of the more popular marinas in Aransas Pass, Conn Brown Harbor Park, is now closed. Apparently the city was tired of the

Texas Coast Coronavirus Update April 7th

Well... as predicted, things changed pretty much right after our last update. So I figured I would do my best to bring everyone up to speed again, as to where we are at with all things Covid-19, as it pertains to fly fishing the Texas Coast. So let's see how I do this time. From my last report on these issues, we were starting to see some closures on the Texas Coast, but we were still allowed to operate as guides. That hammer finally fell no more than 48 hours after I posted that. The Governor declared a Shelter-in-Place order for the entire state of Texas. In this declaration,

Rockport Fishing Report – April 1st

This is your first Rockport fishing report for the month of April. Spring fishing is in full swing around here. So in this fishing report for the Texas Coast, we will fill you in on what's going on out on the flats each and every day. And of course we will help fill you in on how the Coronavirus pandemic is affecting fishing in Rockport and the rest of the Coastal Bend. First and foremost, let's address the Coronavirus thing. We are trying to help keep people informed as best we can. These times are pretty crazy everywhere, and the Texas Coast is no different. Rules and closures are

Rockport Texas Coronavirus Update March 31st

With everything going on in the world and Coastal Bend of Texas these days, we thought we would share a little update on where we are at down here in Rockport and on the Coast. By the time I write this, it will most certainly be outdated already. Things are evolving that fast around here. But we will try to share where we are at right now, and what we know going forward, as little as that may be. First and foremost, I am very happy to share that all of us over here at Fly Fish Rockport are in perfect health and doing well. And we most certainly

Rockport Fishing Report – March 22nd

A bit later than planned, but here is an updated fishing report for Rockport, Texas and surrounding waters. We've made it a majority of the way through March already. So we will update you with what we are seeing and doing on the Texas flats while we are fly fishing for redfish. Tonight marks the end of our two busiest weeks of Spring Break around here. Week one was pretty hectic around the Coastal Bend. Even with all the recent events and virus issues. But week two was much more calm. Especially as the week wore on.  Things just kept getting weirder and weirder. But by now, most folks

Rockport Fishing Report – March 2nd

March is here, and a new Rockport fishing report along with it. Winter is over, not that it was that bad on the Texas Coast this year. But it had it's moments. As February leaves, and March comes in, hopefully that indicates the last of our cold fronts for the year. And that means that our first Rockport fishing report for Spring. The weather, and fishing, this past week has been pretty outstanding. With the exception of one cold blowy day from the North last Wednesday, where we had to cancel our boats, the week was amazing. The mornings were cooler, most starting out in the upper 40's or

Rockport Fishing Report – December 25th

Welcome to your Rockport fishing report, Christmas Edition. Actually, it's pretty much just another fishing report. Although it is Christmas today. So Merry Christmas to all. We hope everyone is enjoying their day with family and friends. We are doing the same and enjoying our day off of the water. Although with the weather we've been having, it is tempting to grab the boat this morning. We've been busy lately, and slacking on our fishing report. It's been about two weeks since our last. Oops! But things are fishing very well around here. And with all the good weather, we've been on the water a ton. We've been blessed

Rockport Fishing Report – December 5th

December is here and it's time for an update to our Rockport fishing report. We're not real sure what happened to November. Sure seemed to go quick. But things are still rolling here on the Texas Coast and we will fill you in with what we've been seeing out there lately. Since our last report, about a week ago, things have continued to be steady and fish very well. In fact, not too much has changed at all. The weather has been very good around here. No reason to stay off the water at all. A couple mornings earlier this week were a bit chilly. Maybe in the high

Tying the Seaducer for Bull Redfish

In the past couple of weeks, we've had quite a few folks asking us what types of flies we are using to get all these big bull reds we're posting pictures of. So we figured we would knock out a little video showing how to tie one of the quickest and easiest baitfish patterns, the Seaducer. This has been one of our go to flies while chasing all these larger fish. For these bulls, we prefer to tie this fly unweighted. The large 3/0 hook is plenty of weight to get it down a few inches and into their strike zone. And we are wanting this fly to
