Port Aransas & Aransas Pass Fishing Report: Redfish, Trout & Black Drum
This Port Aransas fishing report covers the latest action for redfish, speckled trout and black drum around Port Aransas and Aransas Pass. Fishing around Port Aransas and Aransas Pass has been good, with redfish, speckled trout and black drum all providing action. Live shrimp continues to be one of the most dependable baits, but artificial lures are producing fish as well.
Port Aransas Fishing Report: Live Shrimp and Artificial Lures
Live shrimp under a popping cork has been working well for redfish and speckled trout. A Carolina rig with live shrimp has also been producing, especially when targeting redfish and black drum closer to the bottom.
Changing between a popping cork and Carolina rig depending on the depth and where the fish are holding can make a big difference.
Artificial Lures Are Catching Fish Too
For anglers who prefer throwing artificial lures, 4-inch red and white paddle-tail soft plastics have been catching redfish and speckled trout. A 1/4-ounce weedless gold spoon has also been producing good results, particularly when covering water looking for active redfish. Casting tight to mangroves and shoreline grass.
Keeping both soft plastics and a gold spoon ready makes it easy to change presentations as conditions change throughout the morning.
