 Now is
a good time to service your fishing tackle and boats that have been put up
all winter. Take out the fishing rods and check your guides and replace
all that have a nick on them. Service that reel or better take to a tackle
shop that can clean and oil and replace any parts that might fail on you
when you have that BIG spring fish on. Clean out that tackle box and
gather any new supplies that may have rusted on you while stored away. All
of you with boats time to take that boat in and have it checked out so
that your first fishing day on the water will go smoothly with no boat
problems ......Remember You need to always check the weather first to have
a safe day on the water.
Now is time to talk about the
fishing part of pre-spring.
First I have to say for all of you who do not know already we have moved
from Crabman Marina to Fisherman's Wharf in Port Aransas. We are handling
all the live ,dead bait and seafood at the wharf. We are also still
booking private charters for Deep Sea Fishing and Bay Fishing no group to
large or Small we can find you a boat to fish on. Everything is the same
lucky baits and great seafood just like before just our location has
changed. We are on water next to the Coast Guard Station in the harbor
where the Wharf Cat, Scat Cat and Jetty Boat are located. We are located
by land 900 Tarpon street. Our phone number is the same 361-758-6900 or
361-332-8595.
Bay fisherman are looking for the big Speckled Trout that will start
showing up.... Actually I have already seen some really nice LARGE trout
coming in off the jetties. I think this will be a great year for trout
fishing. The Redfish, Flounder and Sheepshead should be biting. The
Oversize Black Drum should show up soon I have heard of a few being caught
already, Blue Crab and Sea Lice being the favorite choice of bait for
them.
Offshore fisherman are catching Kingfish, Vermillion Snapper, Lane
Snapper, Amberjack, Shark( several species Spinner, Blacktip, Mako,
Atlantic Sharpnose ). Jack Crevalle, Ling and Dorado Dolphin start showing
up as the weather warms.
Tuna trips are still going strong at Fisherman' Wharf (361-749-5448) and
Dolphin Docks (361-749-4188)
Try-out the Long Trips looking for
Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna.
 We
still have access to set you up with Kayak rentals. Lighthouse Lakes Park
has been expanded and it is looking really nice. Spring is a wonderful
time to get it a kayak and be one with nature either fishing or just
sightseeing, watching the birds. The fishing in the trails produces
Redfish, Speckled Trout and Flounder. Fishing should be pretty good. Again
watch the weather and pick your day. Have a safe day on the water.
We are starting to book trips on our private boats already. Pick you day
and give us a call so we can set up your wonderful fun day of fishing.
We can also assist you with lodging suggestions and fun things to do. Come
by and visit us at Fisherman's Wharf or give us a call 361-758-6900 or
361-332-8595. We are happy to assist you in your fishing fun.
