Rockport Fishing Report – February 25th

Here is your last February fishing report for the Southwest Texas Coast, and waters in and around the Rockport area. It's the end of a pretty lousy month around here, and quite honestly, we couldn't be happier to see it go. We are ready for Spring around here. Maybe that will actually happen in March?!?! It was another long dreary week last week. As has been the norm lately, we did sneak in a few hours of sun here or there. But nothing worth getting too excited about. For the most part, we were stuck with more clouds, fog, rain, mist and a few days a bit on the

Rockport Fishing Report – February 17th

The week is over, and it's time for another fishing report for Rockport, Texas and other surrounding waters. We have reached mid February, and hopefully the end of our Winter down here on the Texas Coast. We are ready for some Spring fishing around here! We had another pretty interesting week around these parts. Plenty of foggy mornings and cloudy days for us again. We just can't seem to kick this trend around here. That being said, we did see the sun a little bit later in the work week. And it was about darn time too. We were starting to wonder if we would ever see it again.

JJ’s Crabcake Featured in SW Fly Fishing

A while back, Capt. Jeff had the opportunity to sit with the good folks from Southwest Fly Fishing Magazine and tie a few of his favorite flies. While doing so, he went into detail about each pattern, explaining all sorts of stuff. Why he came up with it. Why it was tied this way. Various uses. And pretty much anything else they wanted to know. The outcome became, the featured fly in their September/October issue. So we thought we would share the article with everyone here. The interview is actually pretty entertaining, with Capt. Jeff being pretty honest about his take on fly tying for Texas redfish. For those

Rockport Fly Fishing Report – February 8th

Week one of February is in the books, so it's time for another Rockport Fly Fishing report. We will do our best to fill you in on what we've been seeing out there since our last fishing report. Also, do our best to predict the future. Or at least try to give a little direction for the upcoming weekend, and week following. This month got underway in interesting fashion down here in Southwest Texas. We've been stuck in a bit of a weather rut around here. Warm temps and very light winds have been camping on us for quite a while now. This means lots of fog. In fact,

Rockport Fly Fishing Report – February 1st

February is here, and finally another fishing report for Rockport, Texas and the surrounding waters. We have been slacking like crazy around here on the web type stuff. Very sorry for that. Instead of keeping our fishing reports and social media stuff cranking in high gear, we have opted for writing code and working on a bunch of more in depth web type projects. YUCK!!! But, alas, we are back and here to update you on what we are seeing out there on the Texas flats. Since our last report, way too long ago, things have actually remained pretty consistent. Winter finally set in on us a little bit.

Rockport Fly Fishing Report – January 6th

Welcome to 2019, and our first Rockport fly fishing report of the year. We are putting a wrap on the first full week of the year, which has been a pretty interesting one. But things are still looking pretty good around the South Texas Coast these days. Hopefully the trend continues throughout January. We had some pretty cold and crappy weather to kick off the new year around here. Overnight temps were in the low 40's for a handful of nights in a row, with mostly cloudy skies during the days. This made for plenty of inside time and fly tying. But it also made for some very cold

Rockport Fishing Report – November 29th

The end of November is here and here is your last Rockport fishing report for the month. We are ending the month on a fairly high note, after enduring a bit of tougher weather earlier in the month. Hopefully these trends continue and things continue to fish well as we move ahead into December. Since our last Rockport fishing report, things have been pretty good on the Texas Coast. We did have a couple of tougher weather days, one of which was Thanksgiving Day. They weren't too awful though. Mainly just a good bit of North wind and some clouds. Not enough to change much around here really. The

A quick little edit from a day on the water last Wednesday in Baffin Bay, Texas. While the morning started out quite cold, the weather was very nice overall. Clear skies, calm winds, shallow water and plenty of redfish. Join the Fly Fish Rockport newsletter to get future posts right in your inbox.

Rockport Fishing Report – August 22nd

Welcome to your mid/late August fishing report for Rockport, Texas and surrounding waters. Boy have we been slacking lately on the fishing reports. Eek! We must apologize to all for that. Busy busy this time of year. Or maybe this heat is getting to us. Or... ? Either way, we are back at it today and hope to fill everyone in on what we are seeing out on the Texas flats these days. The dog days of Summer are clearly upon us. It's hot. Really hot. And has been for far too long. And we are kinda tired of it. But it isn't all bad. With the heat comes

Rockport Fishing Report – June 4th

Welcome to the first Rockport fishing report for the month of June. May seemed to come and go pretty quickly. And with it, our nice Spring weather as well. So we are jumping head long into Summer, apparently, with the arrival of June. Things have been warm lately. Maybe even a little too warm? It sure feels like we went straight from the month of May to the month of July out there. It has been pretty darn warm most days and nights as well. So this has the water warming up quite a bit too. Maybe a bit ahead of schedule, or at least a bit ahead of
