On the water
Fish from the park or run the bays
Rockport draws anglers from all over for redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, black drum and flounder — with sharks and red snapper out in the deeper water. You can wet a line right from the park’s lighted seawall, or launch and be on Aransas Bay, Redfish Bay or the Estes Flats in minutes by boat or kayak.
Clean your catch at the on-site fish-cleaning stands, then fire up the grill back at your site. Plenty of local guides run bay, offshore, fly and airboat trips if you’d rather be shown the honey holes — the office is glad to point you to one.
