Where to Wade in Rockport

[rubicon51]

Looking to do more wade fishing down in Rockport. I don’t have access to a boat, so looking for recommendations on places to be able to wade out from the shore.

Anywhere the water meets dry land!

Any where along what I call Old Rockport. South of down town where the road gets back along the water. The Hunt Courts area. Wade out to the ends of the piers.

Old Intracoastal
Superior Fishing

Little Bay for reds and trout.

Behind the airport is a popular spot. Ive often thought wading south of the big bridge coming into town could be pretty solid also. But ive never done it.

Been years but I have done well in both of those spots.

Used to do pretty well behind the airport but not as much in recent years, of course I haven't fished consistently either. Easy access behind the airport and a lot of area depending on how much you want to walk. Also some areas around Goose Island but I am not real familiar with those.

Around Goode Island State Park. Wade out from the fishing pier to the east, also south of GISP towards the Big tree area.

Some good areas listed already. There is also a road that dead ends into a kayak launch over near Port Bay.
A little drive from Rockport, but Aransas refuge has some spots you can wade out or launch a kayak. Also there are several bridges between AP and Port A. More bank fishing than wade fishing but when the fish are there, they are really there on the pilings.

Are you willing to drive to Ingelside?
Google Earth: Find Ingelside Dr and Post Oak Dr intersection which is waterside. Park there. Waste Deep Grass Flat with pockets, Ingelside Cove to your north, wading towards Cooks Island. You can cast net finger mullet in the grass, single hook no weight and throw them. I like to throw cross wind with the wind at my back, keeping the rod tip very high. If there is a decent breeze, the cross wind will blow you line thats above water, and drag that finger mullet across the surface which can result in some awesome blow ups. I will usually lower the rod as I reel in the slack. Allow that mullet to go a different depth, then slowly raise the rod back up high to get the wind to drag the bait. Its been a killer method that has placed me a few tourneys. If needed I will add a split shot or two a few inches in front of the hood for either casting distance or just to keep it at a lower depth.

I've had some really good walk in wades there when I was working down there and did not have my boat. Caught some nice trout up 23'' one wade a few reds. If its drum season, you can catch those mega drum big uglies in the deep channel on half a blue crab, maybe even a bull red.

I take my kayak to get across the ic,it opens up miles of water,use it as a platform to rest on and carry ur equipment.works great if the wind is right u can just drift when u get tired of wading.its my favorite type of fishing.
