Rock Hind
Port Aransas, Texas, offers anglers a chance to encounter Rock Hind in the Gulf of Mexico. These members of the grouper family can be found around natural and artificial reefs, wrecks, and other submerged structures. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the most productive for targeting them. Focus your efforts on areas with hard bottom and plenty of cover. A good starting point is the numerous artificial reefs deployed off the coast of Port Aransas. For a practical tip, try using a fish finder to locate structure and then drift over it with live shrimp or cut bait. Rock Hind in this region tend to be smaller than those found in other parts of the Gulf, but they are still a worthwhile target. Be mindful of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can vary depending on the location and time of year. Always check with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the most up-to-date information.
