Fishing my favorite spot in Rockport, Tx

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2023
  • Quick morning trip to Copano Bay in search of the drug called the tug.
    I am a kayak fisherman using mostly if not all, artificial lures, popping corks, berkley gulp on a light inshore rod and reel setup with 10lb Daiwa J or Berkely Power Pro braided fishing line. My rods of choice are Cajun Custom and Falcon HD rods. I use Daiwa a Regal 2500, Pflueger President 30 and various Penn Reels.
    You'll most likely find me Kayak Fishing in Corpus Christi, Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Portland, Mustang Island, Wilsons Cut, Fish Pass, Kates Hole, Wolfview Park and other saltwater fisheries in South Texas
    I've been an avid Kayak Angler since June of 2022 and am constantly soaking up fishing knowledge to further my experience on the water going after redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead and whatever else may come my way! Thank you for watching/subscribing, and as always, comments are always welcomed and I will answer every single one.

    Grant,
    That was a great day on the water!
    My last trip there, in March, the wind kicked up as I was parking, up to 25 MPH. I put in anyway, in hopes of finding a wind break. MISTAKE! The water blew out of the cove & I got blown to & stuck on the flats. Too windy to pole out, so I had to get out & drag against the wind- got out to 2 ft water, peddled back to launch & called it a day. Bummed, but ready to head back down and give it another shot! Glad to see it being as productive as it should be!

      Yikes man! Yeah that lake can be very unforgiving when the wind is howling. Luckily, tides have been high and wind moderate at most lately. Let me know when you get down this way!

    i live in rockport and cant seem to catch fish but i am from oklahoma so this kayak fishing is new to me and i dont have a clue where to go i just paddle around asnd catch hard heads sucks so any pointers of what to use and where to go i use dead shrimp and been trying live croaker but no luck thank you for the awsome video

    • @southtexasoutdoor5484
      @southtexasoutdoor5484  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I catch 99% of the fish I land on artificial soft plastic lures. Dead shrimp is good when you can locate and throw into some areas where black drum or redfish are holding. But yeah, otherwise you’re gonna have a hard time avoiding the junk fish. 2.5” - 3.5” paddletail lures are very effective for me. Dependent on water clarity, or lack thereof, you’ll need to use different colors. Dark water, stick with darker lures or even chartreuse and Pearl white. Clear water, go as natural as possible - meaning don’t deviate too much from the color of bait you are seeing in the water. Redfish and trout alike will go after a natural mullet color almost always, but there are a lot of great (off the wall) colors that don’t mimic any baitfish native to these waters that work as well.
