Port Aransas Fishing Map

Port Aransas proudly proclaims itself to be the "Fishing Capital of Texas.” The bay waters in the area are home to redfish, spotted seatrout, southern flounder, black drum and sheepshead. Whether it’s wade fishing the flats, surf fishing the beach or offshore fishing in the Gulf, Port Aransas has it all. Wade fishermen can target shallow shorelines and numerous shallow back lakes behind St. Joseph Island in Aransas Bay. Wade fishing offers a great experience for beginners and novices alike. While boat anglers can focus on the many oyster reefs and wells in the bay’s deeper waters. Bay fishing is outstanding around the Mustang Island area, where limits of reds, trout and flounder are common. If staying on dry land is better, there are lighted fishing piers available that offer many varieties of fish. Both South Bay and Redfish Bay are known for their large areas of shallow, grass flats ideal for drift fishing and wading, while sheltered Copano Bay is known for its wealth of oyster reefs.
