Rockport was incorporated by Special Act of the Legislature of Texas Charter granted to it in 1870, and is the county seat for Aransas County. It is located on the western side of the Gulf of Mexico, yet is separated from the Gulf by barrier islands that form the intracoastal canal. The charming fishing village of Rockport has been a favorite coastal hideaway for wealthy Texans since the 1800s. It

was named for the rock ledge underlying its shore and was founded just after the Civil War as a cattle slaughtering, packing and shipping port. During the 1880s, boat building and fishing began to develop as important industries in Rockport. Tourism and the resort trade also blossomed, particularly after the railroad came into town in 1886. The shrimping industry developed between 1925 and 1930 and became a major boon for the city in the 1940s. The population of Rockport grew steadily over the years. Vacationers swim, fish, watch birds, relax, visit the wildlife refuges, and enjoy many other area attractions. Rockport is known for its endless recreational possibilities and mild weather. Ranked in The 100 Best Small Art Towns of America, and recognized among the top retirements spots in the nation by America's Best Places to Retire, Rockport is a wonderful place to live and visit alike.

Did you know that Rockport is known for its world-class fishing spots, beautiful scenery, friendly people, endless things to do??
No? Well, now you do!

From late summer through to mid-winter, the larger boats head out to the Gulf. This is when deep sea fishing in Rockport really kicks off. Dream catches like Blackfin and Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and even Blue Marlin make the warmer Gulf waters just off of Texas their home, giving you the best chance for the catch of a lifetime. First, the Mahi Mahi starts biting in August, then Marlin and Tuna begin coming around near the end of September. King mackerel, Redfish, and Speckled trout also bite well in fall.

Winter is also a fantastic time for fishing in Rockport. Temperatures rarely go below 50 degrees in the winter, so you can put on a coat and head out to the fishing pier for a chance to catch some of these fish. Black Drum are a common winter catch and are best caught using shrimp. Flounder fishing is also great in the fall and winter. This is also the season for red fish migration, and you can catch Reds right off the pier.
