The area's consistent structure and baitfish populations create ideal conditions for sight fishing and wade fishing opportunities. Captain Cory's knowledge of seasonal patterns and local hotspots ensures you'll be fishing the right areas at the right times.

Port Aransas benefits from its location near the Aransas Pass, where Gulf waters mix with bay systems to create diverse fishing opportunities. The area's shallow flats warm quickly in spring and maintain comfortable temperatures through fall. Wind direction plays a key role in fishing success here—southeast winds often provide the best conditions for sight fishing redfish in skinny water.
Tidal movement is generally subtle but still influences fish behavior, especially around structure like oyster reefs and grass beds. Early morning and late afternoon typically offer the most active fishing, when cooler temperatures bring fish into the shallows to feed. The area's clear water makes it ideal for both artificial lures and live bait presentations.
Our fishing charters depart from Port Aransas marina with all necessary equipment provided. Trips accommodate up to four anglers comfortably, with options for both experienced fishermen and families new to saltwater fishing. We recommend bringing sun protection, drinks, and snacks for longer trips. Captain Cory handles all navigation and fish cleaning, allowing you to focus on enjoying your time on the water. Advanced booking is recommended, especially during peak fishing seasons.
