The fishing is great in Rockport / Port Aransas. We fished in very shallow water today due to the extremely high tides. Redfish move very shallow when tides are up. The action was steady and redfish were cooperative. The best bait was fresh menhaden free lined over shell and grass bottom. Menhaden is a oily bait fish that attracts redfish from a distance. Many smaller redfish were released and the larger size fish were kept for the grill. Our favorite way to cook redfish is on the half shell (fillets with the skin and scales still on). Cook over a very hot fire. The skin will protect the fish from over cooking. Call me at 956-607-7200 to book a charter.
