Inshore Mangrove Snapper Fishing on the Texas Coastal Bend

The mangrove snapper bite continues to produce some great inshore fishing along the Texas Coastal Bend. On this trip, we put together a nice box of mangrove snapper and enjoyed another good morning on the water. Mangrove snapper have become one of my favorite fish to target with customers. They fight hard for their size, they can provide plenty of action when you get on a good bite, and they are excellent table fare.
A Good Morning of Inshore Mangrove Snapper Fishing
We started the morning early and headed out looking for active fish. One of the best parts about fishing this area is that every trip can be a little different. Conditions, tides and fish movement determine where we go and how we approach the day. Once we found the mangrove snapper, the action made for a fun morning. We were able to put a solid group of fish on the cleaning table and send another customer home with fresh fish and some good memories from the Texas coast.
Mangrove Snapper Along the Texas Coast
Mangrove snapper are sometimes associated with offshore fishing, but they can also provide excellent inshore action around the Coastal Bend. Structure is an important part of finding these fish. Depending on the conditions, mangrove snapper can be found around channels, rocks, pilings and other structure that provides current, cover and an opportunity to feed. They can also be surprisingly strong fish. Even the smaller snapper can make a hard run toward structure as soon as they are hooked, which makes them a lot of fun on inshore tackle.
Fishing Rockport, Aransas Pass, Port Aransas and Ingleside
Clean Fun Fishing offers inshore fishing trips throughout the Texas Coastal Bend, including Rockport, Aransas Pass, Port Aransas, Ingleside and Corpus Christi Bay. Every trip is based on the conditions and where I believe we have the best opportunity to catch fish that day. Depending on the season and bite, we may target mangrove snapper, redfish, speckled trout, black drum or a combination of species. My trips are beginner and family friendly. I enjoy helping people who don't fish every day just as much as experienced anglers who want to spend a morning on the water.
More Than Just the Fishing
An early morning on the Texas coast can be worth the trip before the first fish ever hits the deck. Sunrises over the water, ships moving through the channels and the scenery around the Coastal Bend are all part of the experience. Some mornings you get a view like this one before getting down to the business of catching fish. Of course, a cleaning table covered with mangrove snapper at the end of the trip makes the morning even better.
