Trip Summary

This week has been another strong one on the water here around Aransas Pass, Port Aransas, and Ingleside, Texas. I still have a few open dates available for upcoming fishing charters, so if you’ve been thinking about getting out on the water, now is a great time to book a trip. Speckled trout continue to be on fire, with the spawn happening on most days. I’ve been finding trout stacked up along grass lines, drop-offs, and deeper pockets near the flats. Early mornings have been especially productive, but we’re also getting a solid afternoon bite depending on tides and wind. Popping corks with shrimp lures have been the most consistent setup this week. It’s been a simple and effective way to keep rods bent and clients catching fish all trip long. This technique has been producing steady action and aggressive strikes, making it perfect for both experienced anglers and families with kids. Redfish have been just as reliable this week. I’ve been seeing good numbers cruising the grass flats and staging along shorelines, with fish eating both shrimp lures under corks and natural bait. These fish have been aggressive and giving anglers a great fight, and we’re regularly mixing redfish in while targeting trout. If you’re looking to fish the Texas Coastal Bend, this is about as good as it gets right now. Between the strong speckled trout bite and consistent redfish action, there’s plenty of opportunity for a fun and productive trip. I run Clean Fun Fishing, offering private, family-friendly fishing charters in Aransas Pass, Port Aransas, and Ingleside. I provide all rods, reels, bait, and tackle—just show up ready to fish and have a great time. Open dates are available, but they’re filling quickly. If you’re searching for an Aransas Pass fishing charter or a Port Aransas fishing guide, book your trip now and come get in on this hot bite.

The fishing along the Texas Coastal Bend remained productive this past week despite changing weather conditions. Early mornings brought lighter winds and comfortable temperatures, allowing anglers to take advantage of excellent inshore fishing opportunities throughout Rockport, Aransas Pass, Port Aransas, and Ingleside waters. Speckled trout continue to be the primary target for many anglers booking guided fishing trips with Clean Fun Fishing. Most trout have been holding along grass-lined drop-offs in 3 to 6 feet of water. Live shrimp under popping corks have produced consistent action, while anglers throwing soft plastics have also found success during periods of active feeding. Several quality trout have been mixed in with steady keeper-sized fish, making for exciting days on the water. Redfish action has remained steady around shallow grass flats and nearby channels. Cut mullet and live shrimp have been producing the best results, especially during moving tides. While trout have dominated the catches this week, anglers are still finding opportunities to hook into solid slot redfish throughout the bays. Black drum have also been showing up regularly, providing additional action for families and anglers looking to fill the cooler. Live shrimp fished near deeper edges and shell areas have been the preferred bait for targeting drum. Weather conditions have generally been favorable, with periods of southeast winds helping maintain good water movement throughout the bays. Water clarity has remained decent across much of the area, allowing fish to stay active and feed consistently throughout the day. As we move deeper into summer, fishing opportunities around Rockport, Aransas Pass, Port Aransas, and Corpus Christi continue to improve. Speckled trout remain the top producer, while redfish and black drum provide excellent backup action for anglers of all skill levels.
