looking for a real good spot to catch some red fish and trout, and good spots. would like to pier fish with the two grandsons. 12 and 8 yrs old, not much fishing for grandpa though. am going to port Aransas over the 4th of july

just looking for a place for the boys to catch some nice keepers to take home and for me to get some nice pics and memories

Red dot has speckled trout, sand trout, red fish and BIG'OL black drum. My wife caught this one at Red dot Pier:

COOL!!! What are you using for the flounder, and where exactly are you catching them????
THANKS!

nice fish. thanks for the info. cant wait to get there and try this place out.

where exactly at in mustang island barrier and packer channel DRCrappie

tbuss...that's what I'm asking too!

anywhere that's o pretty good place to catch some keepers

if you dont mind driving a few miles to corpus packery channel jettys and bob hall pier are both good that time of year. you can also catch some kings and spanish mackeral.take the grand kids out to the T head there is always a bunch of guys out there shark fishing the kids will get a kick out of the big reels and baits these guys use and they might get to see them catch a big shark.

yea I've been by there a few years ago when we were there. but we are going to port Aransas for 3 days over the 4th so was looking for somewhere near there. going on a charter boat one day, but littlest grandson can't go, so I thought we should take him somewhere for a day or a few hours to keep him satisfied.

You might try one of bay fishing party boats it's a 4hr trip took my kiddos last week and they loved it caught a bunch nice Gafftops Little sister out fished big bro

yea, we thought about that too, not sure how much work the 6yr old would be on that though.

what is better to use a popping cork or a slip bobber if am fishing from a pier. or are they both about the same?

how about it jake 100. any ideas?

Sorry don't fish piers but I think both would be ok!
