This was super easy in and out and didn't have to ride in the boat for half hour to start fishing and to get to multiple spots. Liked all of that. What surprised me was how far down to Corpus from Rockport it was. Question your guide ahead about what he goes after and is he flexible and what is biting lately. Always good to have proper expectations. Aransas Pass not the most scenic with a good bit of refinery shoreline but hey, good fishing

I am not knowledgeable enough to offer any meaningful advice. But I suppose everybody knows that it is just too hot to fish during the middle of the day in August. A morning or late afternoon trip would be more pleasant.

I would absolutely recommend angler fishing for the first time in Aransas Pass! It was my first time and I’m already planning another trip back in July. I’m from Florida originally and I felt like I was at home. Great place to go angler fishing for the first time.

There is a LOT of quality water in the area. I particularly like wade-fishing the flats, and there are literally thousands of acres available. We had perfect weather. Not crazy hot, beautiful water temperature, and lots of fishing opportunity. Highly recommended.

The weather was the only drawback for the day....cold (57 degrees), windy (35 mph) You just never know! We planned our trip for this time 4/20-4/22 due to weather forecast was good but didn't turn out that way.

Be open to what kind of fish you’re going to catch because sometimes you are going to hit on the ones you aren’t planning on.

Come prepared to catch fish, bring chest waders if possible or at least wading boots if the water is warm enough

Hire a guide. They know the waters, the fish and the good spots. Great time saver and recipe for success.

Come prepared with regular necessities, ie, sunglasses, light snacks, drinks, etc., but definitely look ahead at weather conditions… when it rains on the coast, it pours!! Don’t forget raincoats!

Weekdays has less boat traffic than weekends. Sep tends to still be hot--take plenty of sunscreen and stay hydrated.

Get with a guide. Fish bite this year in july is hard but when you get with a guide they communicate amongst each other and help one another. It's all about getting the customer the fish.

It's called Fishing, not Catching....go out and have fun and if your head is in that space you will have a great trip.

The weather is not too hot yet. Try to avoid the tournaments. Our guide knew where one was and asked us to meet him at a different location to avoid the crowds.

It was a good place to set out from. There is plenty of parking, plenty of places to fish if certain areas are producing results, etc. Nice area to stay in as well.

Pay attention to the weather and bring proper attire for both warm and cold weather because it can change.

I would recommend Aransas Pass because it is away from the tourist crowd of Port Aransas. We stayed in PA but vying for a fishing trip there was crazy. Easy access to the harbor in Aransas Pass.

Be sure you when booking your charter that your captain will be able to fish in international waters

Wear sunscreen, even if it's cloudy! A guide will increase your chances of catching fish exponentially.

The half day trip is more than enough for first time off shore fishing. Bring cooler with Gatorade & snacks.

We caught tons of small redfish and a couple of great sized ones, but I’d wait until June/July for the trout!

Need to fish the deeper water areas, shallow areas get very warm in the afternoons.

Wear the appropriate gear for fishing. Good sunglasses, hat, and cover up from the sun.
