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

Fly Fishing Rockport Texas Report

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

Rockport Fly Fishing Report

Rockport fly fishing continues to be strong in the greater Rockport, Texas area right now. There are plenty of fish around. You just might have to look for them a bit. With some higher tides lately, it has scattered some of the schooling reds. Instead, we are finding smaller schools or singles or pairs cruising around. Basically, we have to do a little more looking for fish. But they are there. And they are eating. There are very good numbers of Black Drum around right now as well. Not uncommon to find a small school of drum roaming around the flats. Casts have to be precise and pretty much up

Rockport Texas Fishing Report

The storms have passed... for now, Rockport Texas fishing continues to be quite good. Schooled up redfish are seen tailing and roaming the flats. Some significantly low tides as of late have provided lots of tails out there. We have also had some really strong trout action first thing in the mornings. They are very willing to eat topwater flies. While running between flats, we are starting to see a few schools of Jacks chasing bait on the surface. These fish are very willing to eat a fly and can run upwards of 20 lbs. Not a bad idea to have a 10wt rod strung up and ready to go.

A Rockport Fishing Guides Day Off

This is what a day off gets you. Ten old fly lines changed out and ready to be recycled. This time of year, a day off the water is a little more of a rarity. So this means that instead of doing something fun or relaxing, typically the day is filled with chores, paperwork, catching up on emails and pretty much anything else that I could possibly postpone. That and a series of naps mixed in as well. Job one today was to change out fly lines. Again, something that has been needed for a little while but somewhat blocked from my mind. Its a bit tedious to

Rockport Fishing Report May 20th

A nice redfish on the fly near Rockport, Texas. Your Rockport fishing report continues to be quite good. We are coming off a past week or two of fairly high tides, for this time of year. This brought a lot of fish into the bays. We are seeing very good numbers of redfish, black drum and trout throughout all of the bays. Redfish are plentiful in the shallows right now. Most are in two feet or less of water, making the fly fishing outstanding. They will eat a variety of well presented flies. They haven't been too picky necessarily, but it will take a good cast and presentation.
