Spots around Port A & Aransas Pass
Public, well-known water to start with. Respect private property and posted closures.
South and North Jetties
Granite jetties at the Aransas Pass inlet. Bull reds in fall, sheepshead in winter and spring, tarpon and kingfish passing in summer. Wear good shoes; the rocks are slick.
Corpus Christi Ship Channel
Deep water along Harbor Island and the Port A waterfront. Trout and reds on the ledges, especially on an incoming tide.
Redfish Bay and the Lighthouse Lakes
Seagrass flats protected by the state. Pole or paddle the shallows: Texas law bans uprooting seagrass with a propeller in Redfish Bay.
Lighthouse Lakes Paddling Trail
Marked kayak loops off Highway 361 between Aransas Pass and Port A. Great for families and first-time sight-casters.
Mustang Island surf
Wade the first and second guts from the beach for trout and reds when the surf is green and calm, usually on light southeast or north wind.
