Redfish, Trout, and Flounder Heating Up Along the Coastal Bend
Fishing around Rockport is off to a strong start this June, with consistent bites across inshore waters and bay systems. Water temps are sitting in the upper 70s to low 80s, and recent calm conditions have made for productive days on the water. Whether you’re wading, drifting, or casting from a skiff, now’s a great time to get out. Redfish are schooling up along the shorelines and grass flats—look for them tailing in shallow water during early morning hours. Cut mullet, shrimp, and paddle tails are all producing solid strikes. Speckled trout action has picked up, especially around shell banks and deeper drop-offs. Anglers using topwater plugs early and switching to soft plastics as the sun climbs are seeing good numbers. Flounder are also making a strong showing near marsh cuts and along sandy bottoms—perfect for those targeting a slam. Offshore reports are starting to roll in with good numbers of kingfish and snapper showing up just beyond the jetties. As we move deeper into summer, expect even more species variety. Overall, Rockport is offering solid fishing across the board right now, and with fair tides and clean water, this is the perfect time to plan a trip.

Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 12, 2025
I enjoyed the conversation and the experience, but the absence of fresh shrimp bait meant we had to use artificial lures. We caught several fish, but none were above 14.5 inches, so it was more about fishing than catching. I would definitely book with him again, but I'll make sure he arranges for fresh bait to be held in reserve just for him!
July 12, 2025
Just as advertised! Captain Alan is familiar with the waters, his equipment is in great condition, and he's not only a lot of fun but also a great guy. I'll definitely book with him again and am already looking forward to it!

The captain and boat were exceptional, with the captain being punctual and continuously moving us around to find legal fish. While we weren't successful today, that's just part of fishing. Overall, it was a great experience with a highly knowledgeable captain and plenty of engaging conversation.
