Species You'll Want to Hook

Red Snapper: These crimson beauties are the crown jewels of Gulf fishing. Known for their fierce fights and delicious flavor, red snapper are a prized catch for any angler. They typically hang out near structure in deeper waters, so we'll be heading to some prime offshore spots to find them. The best time to target these guys is during the federally regulated season, usually in the summer months. When you hook into a big snapper, get ready for a workout – they'll pull like a freight train trying to get back to their rocky homes.

Sheepshead: Don't let their goofy grin fool you; sheepshead are crafty customers. These striped bandits are masters of bait-stealing, but when you hook one, it's game on. They love hanging around structure like jetties and pilings, using their human-like teeth to crush crabs and barnacles. Sheepshead fishing is hot in the cooler months, typically from October through April. Landing one of these fellas is all about finesse and timing – and trust me, the satisfaction of outsmarting them is worth every second.

King Mackerel: When it comes to pure speed and power, few fish can match the king mackerel. These sleek predators are the sprinters of the sea, capable of blistering runs that'll have your reel singing. We target kings primarily in the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Trolling with live bait or flashy lures is the name of the game here. When a king skyrockets on your bait, hold on tight – the ensuing fight is the stuff fishing dreams are made of.

Sea Trout: Speckled trout, or "specs" as we call 'em, are a year-round favorite in these parts. These spotted battlers are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic leaps. We'll find them in the grassy flats and channels of Aransas Bay, often hunting in schools. Light tackle and artificial lures are the ticket here, making for some of the most exciting fishing you can experience inshore. The best part? Trout fishing is productive all year, with some of the biggest specimens caught in the cooler months.

Redfish: Ah, the mighty red drum – the fish that put Texas on the angling map. These copper-colored bruisers are the backbone of our inshore fishing scene. From tailing reds in skinny water to bull reds crashing bait in the surf, redfish offer something for every angler. We target them year-round, but the fall "bull red run" is something special. When you're connected to a big red, you'll understand why they're considered one of the best fighting fish in the Gulf. And let's not forget, they make for some mighty fine eating too!
