Was down at Port Aransas, 2 weeks ago...
Seen several Bulls and several slot limits caught in the channel side of the PortA South Jetty...Need to hit it early though, or on incoming tide...
Unfortunately, I got there late on the outgoing tide...
Hooked a nice Bull in the afternoon, but last it in the rocks...Tide was ripping out hard at that point...Took a 8oz. surf sinker to hold...Also lost a 4oz. earlier on a run, cheap $2.99 red-fish leader broke...There a big set of rocks on the channel side, just down from where there is a bouy in channel...These rocks hang out real close to the edge of the water, and that's where I saw most of the slot reds caught...I'm guessing 300 yards from shore or where you can park closest to the beach side...Cut mullet, was the ticket...
Did at least managed a limit of trout at GISP in Rockport, later that night...Was using small white Croaker free-lined...Actually caught them in my cast-net...Mullet, and piggies where hard 2 come buy that night...Nothing over 17", but at least over 15"...And plenty of schoolies on swim baits or curly-tail grubs...Clear -silver specked+ pearl seemed to be the best...Also, 3" Gulp new penny or white free-lined or with 1/8th oz. jig head...But tide was high then, to use heavier jig head...
Was going to go back to PASJ, in the morning for incoming tide..But decided to head back home...
Also, might check
http://www.corpusfishing.com or
http://nickawaymedia.com/ for reports also...Especially, the Packery Channel...Heard some good reports earlier in the week of reds,smacks, and a lot of Mangrove Snapper....But IMO, that place can be a hit or miss from 1 day to the other...Plus, can get crowded on end real fast...So need to get there early for reds, IMO..
!!Good Luck!!
