Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
Aransas Pass is a renowned destination for chasing Spotted Seatrout, with its expansive grass flats and intricate bay systems like Aransas Bay and Redfish Bay providing ideal habitat. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the trout move into shallower waters to feed and spawn. Wading anglers can find success along the shoreline, while boaters can explore the deeper grass flats and channels. A practical tip: focus on areas with clear water and healthy grass beds, as these areas hold the most baitfish. Also, be mindful of the wind, as it can quickly muddy the water and make fishing difficult. The seatrout in this area are known for their willingness to strike topwater lures, especially during low-light conditions.
