The BEST Fishing Spot in Port Aransas, Texas! (Jetty Fishing)

In this video I went Saltwater Fishing in Port Aransas! My wife and I hit a small secret jetty and tore up the speckled trout! These fish were so much fun to catch, and you can do it too! We used live shrimp under a popping cork to catch the Sea trout. Bank fishing in Port Aransas can be intimidating, but you can catch a ton of fish if you go to the right spot! Leave a comment if you have any jetty fishing tips! Tight Lines y'all!

One of my favorite spots. I take the ferry over and in the late afternoon when the ferries are way too crowded I drive down the Island to Corpus Christi a great drive and a great way to end the day. Got my PB Red Drum at Robert's Point Park.

Caroline was killing it!! Those new limits suck though!!

Love all the Port A jetties. Always a fun time fishing there

[@thesouthwes]

Port A is awesome! I’m glad I took the chance one day and planned a fishing trip down there!

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

@@thesouthwes when I lived in Texas I took 2 trips a year there. Started going in 2007. Loved every trip. Caught my PB black drum and PB Redfish off the Coast Guard pier

[@RedfishReels]

Can’t wait to try this spot out

[@Mightiflier]

I know where your secret jetty is. I'm going to try it next time I'm there. 😊😊

[@ASSHOLE123456ish]

Good times

[@adamjimenez1798]

man we need to get you on a "Lemon Rig" out there you would kill with that i bet!

[@thesouthwes]

I’ve never tried that

[@jeffbeauchamp8285]

It’s the only way to fly at port a jetties!

[@RolandMoreno-zq2pv]

Where exactly is this? I’m going this weekend with my daughter and love this set up.

Jesus Christ died for our sins so we would not endure the punishment of sin. Create a relationship with Jesus before it’s too late. Turn to and give your problems to God.

Damn you really did say “spic” @10:25

[@domqthomas]

“Speck” as in speckled trout

[@user-bq7pe2jf1p]

Hate I missed that trip! Let’s be honest…I would have fallen on the rocks!

[@thesouthwes]

😂 you’re probably right! I wish you could have seen the fishing though!

[@jacobsnow7982]

Matter fact I think the best fishing is during the fall and stuff and more in spring break since it’s really cheap had fishing in spring break because we just got back today June 20 him and I’ll be cut down there was hardheads

[@thesouthwes]

Yeah it’s way cheaper in the spring and fall

[@shaunmayrer1]

Great way to show you don't know

[@4card4ever]

I have to get back down to the coast soon. Its been over a year 😭

[@thesouthwes]

I’m itching to get down there again! I think the flounder are stacked up down there right now

[@jdguevara4208]

Try a voodoo shrimp under a popping cork next time.

[@thesouthwes]

I need to! I had no idea that the trout would be biting so good in there. I’ve never throw artificial shrimp under a popping cork, so it didn’t even cross my mind

[@joshgordon2484]

Bro, So youre not going to tell us Yankees where that was for us to try when we first try to fish salt water? Would like to catch a trout.

[@thesouthwes]

Have you fished this spot?

[@spencerhollingworth5784]

What is the best time of year for trout jetty fishing?

[@tashay7544]

I’m always getting caught up there 😢

[@lisamanrique1770]

If you're using a bait and not lures, there's a simple trick you can do and you'll never get hung up again. Cut the lid of a tin can off and poke 2 holes in it - like at north and south positions. Tie a snap swivel to the end of your line. You'll rig up a seperate line that has your sinker and your hook - in whichever way you like or depending on what you're trying to catch, hook at the very end and sinker up higher on the line or vice-versa, then have a shirt amount of line and tie another snap swivel on the line. You'll snap the swivels into each hole of the lid. Cast as usual.
When you are reeling in your line, and you know the rocks are coming up - reel reel reel real fast! The lid acts as a LIFT and will raise your line up and over all the rocks. As long as you reel fast enough to get the lift - you'll not have your sinker and hook dragging in the rocks. Cheap and easy way to save your tackle!

[@MightyGandolf]

so where is this exactly cause you never mentioned in the video unless i missed it?

[@lisamanrique1770]

Robert's Point Park

[@RJ210Fishing]

were you rigging the shrimp through the front of the head or the back?

[@thesouthwes]

The head

[@thesouthwes]

Like under the horn in the empty spot

[@RJ210Fishing]

Thanks man for the all the info! Like I said I’ve got not saltwater experience so hoping to have the same luck you did when I visit port a next week.

[@jaycipriano6048]

[@jacobcottrell8736]

Let’s be honest, who caught more fish? You or Caroline? I know you have the editing power so did you cut out any of the fish she caught?😂
