Species You'll Want to Hook

Port Aransas is home to some real bruisers, and Capt. Cory knows how to put you on 'em. Let's break down the heavy hitters you'll be targeting:

Southern Flounder: These flatfish are the ninjas of the inshore world. Masters of camouflage, they'll test your sight-fishing skills and make for some of the tastiest fillets around. Fall's the prime time to target big flounder as they migrate to spawn. Capt. Cory's got the lowdown on drifting techniques and the best soft plastics to entice these bottom-dwellers.

Black Drum: When you're after a fish that'll make your drag sing, black drum are the ticket. These chunky fighters can push 50 pounds in the bay, and they love to hang around structure. Cory'll show you how to work crabs or cut bait along channel edges and oyster reefs. Spring's the hot season, but you can tangle with drum year-round in Port A.

Speckled Trout: The bread and butter of Texas inshore fishing, specks are a tournament angler's dream. They're wily, hard-hitting, and make for some spectacular topwater action. Capt. Cory's dialed in on their patterns, whether they're prowling grass flats in summer or stacked up in deep holes during winter. Get ready to perfect your twitch-and-pause retrieve!

Redfish: No Port Aransas fishing trip is complete without targeting these copper-colored bulldogs. Redfish will test your gear and your stamina, especially when you hook into a big bull red. Cory knows all their haunts – from shallow flats where you can sight-cast to schools, to the deeper channels where the giants lurk. Fall's prime time for reds, but they're a year-round target that'll keep you coming back for more.
