Highlights of 4 Hour Wade Fishing Trip in Port Aransas Morning
Wade into the pristine flats surrounding Port Aransas where speckled trout, redfish, and southern flounder feed in water often less than three feet deep. Captain Cory's local knowledge puts you on productive grass beds and sandy potholes where these species ambush baitfish. The morning bite typically produces the most consistent action, especially during November when cooler temperatures activate feeding patterns.
Sight fishing with artificial lures adds an exciting visual element to your wade fishing experience. Watch redfish tailing in the shallows or speckled trout busting bait along grass lines. Captain Cory provides instruction on reading water, spotting fish, and presenting lures effectively in these shallow environments.
Local Species Insights: Speckled Trout
Speckled trout thrive in Port Aransas' diverse inshore habitat, from shallow grass flats to deeper channel edges. These aggressive feeders respond well to topwater plugs during early morning hours, then transition to soft plastics as the sun climbs higher. November brings some of the year's best speckled trout fishing as cooler water temperatures trigger active feeding before winter. Look for them around structure like oyster reefs, grass beds, and drop-offs where they ambush shrimp and small baitfish.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Your wade fishing adventure begins at sunrise from Conn Brown Harbor, where Captain Cory provides all tackle including rods, reels, and a selection of proven artificial lures. The shallow-draft approach allows access to prime flats that larger boats cannot reach. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses for sight fishing, and waders or plan to rent them locally. Captain Cory's 4-hour morning trips accommodate up to 2 anglers and focus on the most productive feeding periods when speckled trout, redfish, and southern flounder are most active.
