Vehicle Details
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.
Experience the thrill of fishing in Texas! Our trip was filled with excitement and new discoveries. Don't miss out on the fun—book your Texas Fishing Charter today!
Ratings & Reviews Summary
August 28, 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!
