My dad and I are going out to Rockport from the 27th of June-2nd of July. And I was wondering if anyone has had any suggestions on what I should be using from fishing off the pier and wading in the flats. Or any other stories to tips that might be useful.

We also will be going on the Offshore Adventures Deep sea boat at the Crabman Marina in Aransas Pass. And would like to hear any information about the deeps sea fishing this year. And we have gone on the boat before and sacked them up, we aren't rookies.

Buy bait early!!!! Sells out quick on weekends.

Yeah I figured so. But i catch my own bait with cast net.
But thanks for the tip

If your fishing off the pier at night ive always had best luck with live shrimp or soft plastics (cocaho minnow)...my buddy was down there last weekend and caught some good trout over by keyalegra

I like using piggy perch myself, but i will always use a shrimp every now and then. Especialy when im wading.
And thanks for the info!

Let me know how it goes. I'm headed out ther myself the weekend of the fourth. It will be my first time fishing saltwater.

Will do sir. Also if you're looking for a first time deep sea boat, the Adventurer is cheap and i've limited on my fish almost every time!

Here is what I caught off the Adventurer last week ( not all, but my limit of snapper), the 17th :

And here is what I caught in the surf on the 16th :

That sounds cool. I think we are going to be wading mostly, but I'll keep that in mind for another time. BTW nice fish, dgruff.
