Riepilogo della Battuta

If you’ve been thinking about booking a fishing trip along the Texas Coastal Bend, now is a great time to get on the water. The speckled trout bite has been strong around the grass edge drop-offs in 3 to 6 feet of water, and we’ve been consistently catching quality trout under popping corks using shrimp lures and live shrimp. The fish are holding along deeper grass lines where bait has been stacked up early in the mornings and late afternoons. Throughout the bays around Aransas Pass, Rockport, Port Aransas, Ingleside, and Corpus Christi, the trout action has been steady with aggressive strikes coming around moving tides. Drifting grass flats and focusing on subtle depth changes has been producing the best results. Popping cork setups continue to be one of the most effective ways to target speckled trout this time of year, especially when fish are feeding higher in the water column. Redfish action has also been solid along shallow flats, marsh drains, and drop-offs. We’ve been catching redfish using live shrimp, cut bait, and fresh mullet around grassy shorelines and potholes. Slot redfish have been feeding well during incoming tides and around areas holding baitfish. Anglers fishing natural presentations slowly along the bottom have been finding consistent action. Family-friendly guided fishing trips continue to produce great catches for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or bringing kids out for their first saltwater fishing trip, the Texas bays are offering excellent opportunities right now for redfish, speckled trout, and black drum.

If you're looking for a Rockport fishing charter, now is a great time to get on the water. This past week, anglers fishing with Clean Fun Fishing enjoyed steady action catching mangrove snapper and black drum throughout the bays around Rockport, Aransas Pass, and Port Aransas. The mangrove snapper have been feeding aggressively around structure, making for exciting fishing and plenty of action. Using live shrimp has been the key to putting fish in the boat, with many anglers catching quality snapper throughout the morning. These fish fight hard for their size and are always a favorite for families and first-time anglers. Black drum have also been providing consistent action in deeper channels and around shell. Live shrimp fished on the bottom has been producing solid catches, with several keeper-sized fish making it into the cooler. Black drum are excellent table fare and a great target for anglers of all experience levels. One of the best parts about fishing this time of year is the variety of species available.

Mangrove snapper have also been providing plenty of fun, especially around structure where they eagerly took live shrimp presented naturally on the bottom. The fishing has been excellent for anglers of all experience levels.
