Baffin Bay Fly Fishing

Rockport and Texas Coast Fly Fishing Report – March 21st

We were down with weather today, so a new fishing report made it on the docket. So here is a look back at how the fly fishing in Rockport, and surrounding waters, has been for the past little bit. And hopefully a look at what we are expecting in the coming weeks time. Week one of Spring Break is in the books! Week two is going on now, although things are always a little more mellow for the second week. This kind of marks the beginning of the busiest time of year around here. Days are warmer, which brings out the weekend crowds a bit more. Spring Break enhances that

Our New Black Duck Cromis with Outboard Jet

Our New Black Duck Cromis Skiff This little video was shot a few weeks ago fly fishing in Rockport, Texas for redfish. We were getting out to play in our new Cromis skiff, by Black Duck Skiffs. This skiff will be the new choice for Fly Fish Rockport when we want to get out in a micro skiff. These things are lighter, quieter and far shallower than our other Hells Bay boats. Even better, the Cromis is designed to run with a jet outboard. Hand down this is our new favorite boat! But enjoy the footage of the new boat and fishing from a calm Winter day in

Texas Coast Fly Fishing Report – February 16th

We are down with some gnarly winds today. So it seemed like a good opportunity to update the fly fishing report for Rockport, Texas and surrounding waters. It's been a little over a week since our last report and things are trying to change around here, sorta. So here is the current lay of the land down here and what we are looking at for the coming week or so down on the Texas Coast. Since our last report, it has been pretty good down on the coast. We've had more nice day than bad, which means we have been able to get a bunch of boats out on

Rockport Fishing Report – May 13th

The end of the week is almost here. So we figured a Rockport fishing report would be a good idea. Hopefully we can fill you in with what to expect leading into this coming weekend, and the days beyond. So for those looking to head towards the Texas Coast to do a little fly fishing, read on as we've got you covered. First and foremost, you must know what weekend it is in Rockport. It's pretty much the worst weekend of the entire year around here. And by that we mean, crowded. It is Babes on the Bay weekend coming up. That means the largest fishing tournament of the

Rockport Fishing Report – May 29th

It's Friday, and darn near June, and time for another Rockport fishing report. This will be the last report for the month of May. Also, just in time for the weekend. Although it pretty much seems that you can't really tell the difference between the weekdays and weekends around here lately. Regardless, here is your Rockport fishing report. As mentioned already, it has been hectic down on the Texas Coast lately. We managed to survive Memorial Day Weekend, somehow. Ask any local, and they will tell you they've never seen it that busy around the area... EVER. It was completely nuts. Luckily, we were able to get out on

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 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
