Port A.

Post by Slayton »

I know this is an odd place to ask, but since this is my local club I was hoping to get some input.

I have been on my Ascend for a few weeks now in the Concho and having a blast. Every year my brother and I spend a few weeks in Port Aransas fishing the Jetties and the assorted fishing docks with decent success and alot of good times.

I think I am going to take my Yak down and was hoping to get some input on where to put in for some drift fishing or flats fishing around Port A. Never been in big water and would like to get some more time on the water before I attempt it. But if anyone has advice on Novice Salt water fishing on Mustang Island or there about I would appreciate it.

There are many places to fish off Hiway 361 between Port A and Aransas Pass. Stop in Slowride Guide Services in Aransas Pass for a chat and good info. Those knuckleheads over on the Saltwater forum probably have some good info as well. :wink:

I'll second what ol' Big is saying. Lots of drop-in spots along that stretch. Lighthouse Lakes area, etc. There are some good paddle trails around there that have been made and mapped. Slowride is the man to talk with. His guide service is out of Aransas Pass. You could always go down there and rent the yaks for a day. He'll drop you off and pick you up for $55 for 24 hours. We were going to do this in August, but didn't get a chance while we were there. Anyway, just a thought. Here's his info if your interested...http://www.slowrideguide.com/#!our-shop/ccbt" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you slip Slowride an extra $20, he'll wear just a Speedo and smile while he guides you.

I am taking my yak down. We have the room and I would rather use the rental money on more gear. Hoping the Speedo thing is an inside joke, because if I have to wear a speedo to fish with you guys, you may loose members the first few times I show up. :wink:

I have been snooping around and looks like the flats around Redfish Bay on the way to Rock Port are accessible. Just a short drive from Port A. So we will try that aswell.
