4 Great Rockport fishing spots for your vacation

If you are a fishing enthusiast, Coastal Bend is the place for you. There are many options around Rockport, with flats and bays, open water, Rockport Fishing, and, beyond the uninhabited barrier islands of Matagorda and San Jose, offshore fishing in the sunny Gulf waters. For all types of anglers, this place is paradise.

Of course, even in paradise, some regions are more valuable than others. If we talk about finding the perfect fishing spot, remember to follow the most critical real estate lesson. It is all about location, location, location. Here we have mentioned 4 of the best places to lay your line in the waterways around Rockport.

·        Estes Flats

Estes Flats is a deepwater shoreline in Redfish Bay in the south part of the Rockport where many Fulton and Rockport residents can be put in. Estes Flats' waters feature drop-offs, grass beds, mud, and sand potholes, a cornucopia of bottom surfaces. They are great places for shy but aggressive fish, like redfish, to hide. Kayakers love Estes Flats, and boaters will start there and head into Redfish Bay to drift or push poles in the grass flats.

These are only four of the best fishing areas, but the entire Coastal Bend ecosystem is heaven for anglers, so come down and find the spot. Redfish is first among equals here because of its fighting spirit and tasty meat when hooked.

·        Mesquite Bay

Just south of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge and west of the barrier islands sits Mesquite Bay. Flanked by tidal lakes and marshes, it will find another redfish-trout-flounder extravaganza. Early in the morning and mid-to-late afternoon can be a better time to get a bite.

Also, estuarine species that need access to the Gulf – such as blue crab, native shrimp, and larval red drum– spawn in the Gulf and return to live in the bay through Cedar Bayou. Permits to fish in Mesquite Bay are coveted because access is limited to keep the area pristine and the fish thriving.

·        Copano Bay

Copano Bay, tucked behind the Rockport-Fulton peninsula, is pocked with shallow oyster reefs and teeming with marine life. It is another popular place for redfish and trout, and the fisherman loves to catch and eat them.

More inland than Copano Bay, Aransas Bay provides fish with a sanctuary from the Gulf's winds. It is tricky to navigate Copano Bay, especially if you don't know the reefs' location. Even experienced fishers must exercise caution, and less-experienced anglers should consider hiring a guide to take them out.

·        Aransas Bay

Rockport is covered by bays, with Aransas the closest and most significant. It boasts a large diversity of fishing opportunities at 16 miles long by six miles wide, from open water fishing for spotted trout to flats fishing for redfish. Oyster reefs overflow in the southern part of Aransas Bay. The bay's eastern shoreline allows tidal lakes and grass flats that will delight your eyes even if you don't catch a thing. Of course, there's no chance of that: they are loaded with redfish, flounder, sheepshead, drum, trout, and more.

Launch from the Rockport Beach Park ramp into the fat part of Aransas Bay – with easy access to Copano Bay – or launch from Bay Shore Drive and watch pelicans dive right in front of you.
