Fishing Charter FAQ for Port Aransas

What fish can I catch in Port Aransas?
Port Aransas offers outstanding bay fishing for redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and black drum in the flats and channels of Aransas and Corpus Christi Bays. The jetties produce tarpon, bull redfish, king mackerel, and sharks. Offshore Gulf trips target red snapper, grouper, amberjack, mahi-mahi, and wahoo around oil platforms and natural banks.
When is the best time to go fishing in Port Aransas?
Spring (March-May) brings excellent trout and redfish on the flats as waters warm. Summer (June-September) is peak season with tarpon at the jetties and red snapper offshore. Fall (October-November) offers the best overall bay fishing with the fall mullet run triggering aggressive feeding. The Deep Sea Roundup tournament in July is the oldest fishing tournament on the Texas coast.

On head boats (party boats), no individual license is needed. On private charters (6 passengers or fewer), each angler 17 and older needs a Texas fishing license with a saltwater endorsement.
