Q: What should we use for bait?

A: If you prefer live bait, the bait stands in Rockport and Fulton have shrimp most of the time. Finger mullet, pin fish, croaker, piggy perch, and crabs are seasonal. If you have a cast net, you can catch bait fish in the canals and the bay particularly around sunset. You can also fish with fresh dead or frozen shrimp.

Q: What kind of lures should we use?

A: Any freshwater bass lure can catch trout. Chris' favorite lures are Bass Assassins andd Salt Water Assassins. At night try black back, grey belly no sparkle or solid white assassins. During the day try clear with gold speckle or any other light or sparkle assassins. Speck rigs work well for trout and reds. Bounce small jigs off the bottom and under the piers to catch flounder.

Q: What kind of fishing line should I use?

A: No need to use anything larger than 15 pound test line for bait fishing. We use 8-10 pound test line for fishing off the piers and docks.

Q: What are some other fishing tips?

A: Keep your noise level down. The quieter you are, the more fish you will catch, however, how do you keep your 6 year old from jumping up and down and clapping every time they catch a 4 inch yellow tail? Turn the fishing lights on at sunset and off by morning. Also, remember that the fish are not on any schedule. Sometimes they are biting and sometimes they aren't. When they aren't biting, take a break and try again later because you never know when the fish will turn on!

Q: What else is there to do in Rockport besides fishing?

A: Rockport has a lot to offer besides fishing. Please visit the Local Area Guide section of our website to see the other things to do in Rockport, TX.
