Black Drum, Redfish & Mangrove Snapper o

The black drum and mangrove snapper bite has been good around Port Aransas, Aransas Pass, Ingleside and the surrounding bays. We’ve been fishing live shrimp on Carolina rigs along rock edges and drop-offs in about 4 to 6 feet of water. Keeping the shrimp close to the bottom and tight to the structure has been producing the best bites. Black drum have been picking up shrimp along the bottom, while mangrove snapper are holding tight to the rocks. Small changes in where the bait is placed can make a big difference. The inshore bite continues to provide good opportunities for families, kids and experienced anglers.

I had another good morning of inshore fishing with the mangrove snapper continuing to bite. Once I found the fish, my customers were able to put together a nice box of snapper and take home some fresh fish for dinner. Mangrove snapper are a lot of fun on light inshore tackle. They fight hard, and when the bite gets going, they can make for an action-packed trip. I fish throughout the Rockport, Aransas Pass, Port Aransas, Ingleside and Corpus Christi Bay area, depending on the conditions and where I believe I can give my customers the best opportunity to catch fish. If you're looking to get out on the water, I still have dates available. Book a trip with me at Clean Fun Fishing and come see what's biting along the Texas Coastal Bend.

When you find the right spot, the action can happen fast. Mangrove snapper are aggressive, strong fighters for their size, and a lot of fun for both experienced anglers and people who don’t fish very often. They’re also a great species for families and kids because there can be plenty of action once the bite gets going. Fishing Around Ingleside and Aransas Pass The Ingleside and Aransas Pass area continues to produce some great fishing. There is a lot of structure and moving water in this part of the Coastal Bend, which creates excellent habitat for mangrove snapper. Live shrimp has been one of my go-to baits. Getting the bait down around the structure where the snapper are holding can produce some hard strikes. You need to be ready when they hit. Mangrove snapper are quick and will head straight back toward structure if you give them the chance.

Structure, channels, reefs, and areas with good tidal movement can all hold fish. Conditions can change from one day to the next, so I pay attention to the wind, tide, water movement, and recent fishing activity when deciding where to start. Right now, mangrove snapper have definitely earned a spot near the top of the list. A Great Fish for Kids and Families Mangrove snapper are one of my favorite fish to target with families because they can provide exactly what many people want from a fishing trip: action.
