Fishing the Texas Coast

Texas has hundreds of miles of coastline and needless to say, the Texas Gulf Coast offers plenty of opportunities for saltwater anglers to fish year round. Fishermen can fish free of charge off rock groins, breakwaters and many other locations along the coast for Flounder, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Sand Trout, Croaker, Whiting, Bull Reds and Gafftop. There are also numerous public piers which charge a small fee. Inshore bay fishing is great year-round for Trout and Redfish. Anglers fishing a few miles offshore can look forward to Shark and Tarpon. Fishing 15 to 40 miles offshore, anglers can catch Kingfish, Snapper, Dorado, Shark and Cobia. From 30 to 80 miles out, prepare to battle Amber Jack, Grouper, Kingfish, Red Snapper, Cobia, Dorado, Sailfish, Tuna and Wahoo as well as Bull, Sand, Hammerhead and Tiger sharks. Traveling 70 to 100 miles, anglers will find Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado and Sailfish.
