For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

October Fishing Report

October brings cooler mornings and active bait in Rockport’s Aransas and Copano bays. Look for slicks and working birds over shell. Speckled trout are feeding on drop-offs and windward reefs at first light; topwaters early, then soft-plastic paddletails or live shrimp under a popping cork as the sun rises. Redfish are cruising shallow grass and marsh drains on an outgoing tide; gold spoons, weedless plastics, and cut mullet all score. Flounder stack near channel edges and sandy potholes ahead of their fall push—slow-roll a jig tipped with shrimp or Gulp.

Best bite windows are dawn and late afternoon, especially with moving water after a light north wind from early fronts. On calm days, downsize leaders for clearer water; when it’s breezy, target wind-blown points where bait is pinned. Estes Flats and nearby shorelines with mixed sand/grass are productive.

Top tip: Find marsh drains at low tide and mark them—return on the next strong outgoing tide to ambush reds and flounder funneling bait through those chokepoints.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Rockport area

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 8 beaches and bays in this area.

Rockport Beach - 2.29280395058km , Little Bay - 3.10866133815km , Aransas Bay - 7.51161189522km , Port Bay - 8.47200014359km , Copano Bay - 12.14608081549km , Quarantine Shore - 12.43464014452km , Redfish Bay - 13.47446111353km , McCampbell Slough - 14.11552226535km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 9 main harbours in this area.
