Anyone know where to purchase live finger mullet in the port a area? Tried two bait shops in town but they didn’t have any. I have a cast net to throw in the surf but wanted a backup just in case. Thank you!

Take the net and run south of town to fish pass on right side of highway.

I was going to suggest looking for a marshy pool or tide pond off the beach. Anywhere there is a little bridge going over a tide channel is likely to hold bait. You'll find mullet, shrimp, croaker, perch, even a crab or two.

Looking on google maps, that appears to be a prime spot Dothead mentioned.

I would try Port A Outfitters or Woody’s. Live mullet are hard to find, but many places carry croaker.

Fin and Feather on hwy 361 causeway at Steadman Reef, between Aransas Pass and the ferry landing usually has them.
