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.
