El Canelo Charters

The Redfish and Speckled Trout were active in the bays in the Rockport / Port Aransas. The wade fishing with Berkley Gulps was great. The 3″ shrimp in New Penny and Nuclear Chicken were hot on a 1/8 oz. lead head. Look for drop-offs near deep water for concentrations of reds and trout.

Cool weather has charged up the fishing. Black Drum and Redfish are agreeively feeding following cool fronts. Look along shallow shorelines near deep water. Live shrimp is the bait of choice with dead shrimp and cut bait a good second choice. Once you find a shoreline with fish stay with them, They will cruise the shoreline feeding so wait on them. Circle hooks in size 5/0 or 7/0 work well for releasing undersize fish. Give us a call for a great day on the bay.

The fishing continues to be great along the shallow shorelines of the Rockport area bays. Oversize redfish are very common and for many they are the catch of a lifetime. These redfish along with black drum and speckled trou

t are fun to catch, great to eat, and very healthy for everyone. Come to Rockport and spend a day on the bays. Enjoy fresh fish and a wonderful experience.

A short morning's catch

The day started cool but warmed up when the fish started biting. The redfish and black drum found live shrimp hard to pass up. Even though we had a short morning, we ended up with plenty of fish for a great fresh fish dinner. The shallow shoreline held plenty of fish and the activity was intense for a while. What could be better than a beautiful morning on the bay and fresh fish for dinner. Cook it at home or take it to one of several area restaurants, fresh fish is always a treat.

The weather was cool but the fish were biting. Redfish and Black Drum cooperated to provide an exciting morning along a shallow shoreline north of Rockport. Using live shrimp and cut ladyfish, the group was insured of a fresh fish dinner for both families. Come to Rockport and enjoy the fishing and the fresh fish dinners.

Morning catch from San Antonio Bay

The redfishing is heating up. With the cooling weather and the redfish migration to the Gulf of Mexico, fishing is great. Expect a mixed bag of redfish, black drum, flounder, speckled trout, and sheepshead. All are good cooked any way, fried, baked, broiled, or grilled. Come to Rockport and fish this fall.

We fished south of Corpus Christi, launching at Bluffs Landing. What a nice launch. We fished in Baffin Bay and caught a mixed bag of redfish, black drum, and speckled trout. Everyone had a great day and caught fish. They will be having fresh fish for dinner

The redfish are biting. They are beginning their annual migration to the Gulf of Mexico. The best bait is live shrimp or plastics that look like shrimp.We are looking forward to a great fall for redfish. AS a bonus we are catching speckled trout, flounder and black drum. Many days we have a great mixed bag. Come down and fish the fall redfish run in the Rockport area.

The saltwater bay fishing on the upper Laguna Madre was great today. We fished south of Corpus Christi about 10 miles and caught plenty of speckled trout. The guys enjoyed a day on the water and a break from work. We used piggy perch for bait. These baits are perfect for late summer trout fishing and catching. Everyone took filets home for dinner. Come to Rockport and enjoy a day of fishing on the bays.

The fishing was very good this weekend in the upper Laguna Madre near Corpus Christi. I was one of 50 fishing guides donating their time to fish the Copano Energy’s “Cast for the Cure” tournament. This is a “catch and release” event and everyone were true sportsmen. My fisherman did their job and we released the most trout of the tournament. Our top fish included a 27 1/2 ” trout and a 33 1/2 ” redfish. We had a great time and really enjoyed two great days on the bay. Come down and try bay fishing, you will never forget it.
