Fishing in Port Lavaca

Sunlit and crowd-free, Port Lavaca is your ideal getaway. This charming Texan town, situated on the coast between San Antonio and Houston, revolves around angling. Naturally, local captains live and breathe fishing. Born and raised here, they know every nook and cranny of these fisheries. Be it an inshore or offshore quest, Port Lavaca fishing charters will make your day.

With the Lavaca, Chocolate, and Matagorda Bays at its disposal, Port Lavaca boasts a variety of fish species. Add the Lavaca River and Gulf of Mexico on top of this and it becomes clear that there won't be any shortage of trophy catches. Black Drum, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, and Flounder are just a few of the many residents that call these waters home.

Casting a line is a year-round activity in Port Lavaca, so you'll have a lot of options to choose from. February and March are perfect for targeting huge Black Drums in the bay, but you can also go wading for Reds whenever you visit. Meanwhile, you can try gigging for Flounder at night. All in all, a full day trip should be enough for you to explore everything Port Lavaca has to offer.

If visiting Port Lavaca for the first time, start with 6 Mile Park. It features a boat launch and a fishing pier. But if you want to truly get a taste of what it's like to fish here, team up with a Port Lavaca fishing charter. Be it Flounder gigging or wade fishing for Redfish, you'll need a helping hand. And who better to show you around than a local captain?

Rules & Regulations

Wetting your line in Port Lavaca's waters means needing a valid fishing license. Especially if you plan to go further than a pier or the shore. Apart from a permit, you’ll also have to respect the bag and size restrictions of different fish species, so, make sure you're familiar with the latest rules and regulations before heading out. After all, better safe than sorry.

Port Lavaca Fishing Seasons

January

Winter in Port Lavaca doesn't mean slumber when it comes to fishing. Even though it's the coldest month of the year, Sheepshead and Speckled Trout aren't afraid of January. Bundle up and get yourself those beauties.

February

Trophy catches alert! Brace yourself because Bulls are in the house. Giant Black Drums, better known as Bulls locally, meander the bay. Hit the deeper waters to find them and gear up with strong lines and patience!

March

Drum roll, please! Bulls are going strong, so don't be sad if you didn’t have the chance to lock them in a duel for the championship title in February. These behemoths are still around and ready to put your skills to the test.

April

New faces join Port Lavaca's gang in spring. Cobia, Redfish, and Spanish Mackerel are slowly but surely entering the angling scene. They're hungry and ready to bite! How about you give them what they want?

May

With the Drum fishing season in full swing, it's difficult for other fish to shine. However, two species aren't afraid to steal the spotlight – Cobia and Jack Crevalle! They'll grab your attention and won't let go!

June

Summer is when Jack Crevalle is all the rage. For the next couple of months, they'll dominate Port Lavaca's underwater world. You won't be able to resist their picture-perfect shapes, vibrant yellow hues, and angling qualities.

July

Sure, fishing is Port Lavaca's forté. But not everything has to be about it. After a prolific day out on the water, July will also treat you to the Star-Spangled Bay Bash free event. Great fireworks guarantee fun for the whole family!

August

July's celebratory atmosphere continues in August with several concerts. So, when in Port Lavaca, do as the locals do – fish during the day, and chill out at night! Is there a better way to enjoy summer than by angling and listening to music?

September

Late summer invites Reds to the playground. Strong and sturdy, they're the brag-worthy catches you've been looking for. Apart from Redfish, Spanish Mackerel and Tarpon are swimming in the warm Port Lavaca waters, too.

October

Ever been Flounder gigging? If you haven't done it before, it's high time you tried something new. Port Lavaca is famous for its Flounder night adventures, and we highly recommend you give it a go.

November

With Flounder accumulating in greater numbers, night gigging should be fairly easy. But if you prefer day trips to evening ones, there are plenty of other fish species to target. Drums, Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead, and Tarpon are just some of them.

December

Preparing for Christmas? Why not fish as well? The end of the year has some fish-related surprises up its sleeve. Be it Black Drum, Redfish, Sheepshead, or Jack Crevalle, December won't leave you empty-handed.
