Port Aransas Park - Nueces, TX Fishing Report on 19th Jun, 2025

Inshore fishing around Port Aransas has been steady, with anglers finding success across the bays and flats. Redfish are the main headliners right now, cruising in shallow water and staging around grass lines and potholes. Most fish are in the 20-26” slot, with a few oversized reds being caught early morning. Live shrimp under popping corks, soft plastics, and cut mullet have all been effective depending on the tide movement.

Speckled trout are feeding well during low-light hours. The deeper edges of drop-offs, oyster reefs, and channels are producing good numbers of keepers, especially on live croaker or paddle tails worked slowly. Water clarity is decent, and the bite is best early in the day or when the tides begin to turn. Some anglers are also catching solid trout drifting over scattered shell beds in the bays.

Black drum and flounder are in the mix too, with drum favoring dead shrimp and crab near structure and drop-offs. Flounder are being picked up around sandy points and creek mouths, especially on slow-rolled gulp baits or finger mullet. With water temps warming up, action should stay solid heading into the weekend. Be sure to check tide charts and hit the water early for the best results!
