Aransas Pass Fishing Report

Wear sunscreen, even if it's cloudy! A guide will increase your chances of catching fish exponentially.

Talk to the locals and or book with Capt Bell if you're looking for Reds and trout.

Find a good guide. Wading is the only way to tolerate the het.

Wear the appropriate gear for fishing. Good sunglasses, hat, and cover up from the sun.

Lots of great flats to wade with good hard bottoms.

We caught tons of small redfish and a couple of great sized ones, but I’d wait until June/July for the trout!

Go with a guide. They know their business, and they love to fish.

BE SURE TO UNDERSTAND THE TYPE OF FISHING YOU WILL BE OFFERED. SOME GUIDES ONLY OFFER FISHING WITH LIVE BAIT WHILE OTHERS PREFER TO FISH WITH ARTIFICALS. BRING YOUR WATER AND SNACKS NOT YOUR BEER TO THE BOAT. CATCHING FISH IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THE TRIP BUT SOME TIMES THE FISH JUST DON;T CO-OPERATE. NOT THE GUIDES FAULT. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS TIP YOUR GUIDE.

Expect a great trip with Captain Larry Bell, he will give you a great day on the water filled with quality keeper size redfish and trout. Plan on wearing clothes that you feel comfortable wadefishing in. Remember to shuffle your feet. Never had any problems with stingrays but always better to be safe. Bring lots of sunscreen and polarized glasses to be able to see top water baits used on the flats without hurting your eyes.

Pack your lunch baby 'cause you are going to want be there all day long!!
