Ur video clip at 6:38, the fishing rod and reel are the same I bought for my beloved wife on her 48th birthday! Brings back a lot of memories! It's been over 3 years that I lost my wife to cancer! I just started going back to fishing the coast again! It's not the same without her next to me! But I'm just closing the chapter of the memories we had together! Thank you'll for a great video!
@@TheWafflesFam Thank you so much! To this day I look at her fishing rod! This means a lot to me! Next time I go to the coast I'll be taking her rod and reel with me! God bless you and your family!
Definitely!!! Haha. We took our friends out there and it was devastating because they got a MASSIVE fish hit and lost it because of their line. Only good fish of the trip!!! Sucked!! Ashley was so upset.
I know 🤣🤣🤣 we thought about cutting some but the thing that’s wild is how many we caught that ONE DAY on the jetty. So we kept it 😅. Some days are just 🔥 🔥 🔥.
Thank you for a really informative video. I'll be in Port A next week to do some fishing. What bait are you using to catch the big reds and black drums? Is it cut crab? And last question, what rig are you using... fish finder, knocker, etc.? Thanks again.
So we typically fish with mullet for the reds on bait, we fish with mullet or menhaden for blacks. Generally we do a 3 oz triangle weight, swivel, about a 18inch liter and a regular hook not a circle.
My Brothers Family and My Family are planning a trip in July. I’m glad I asked UA-cam about Port A fishing spots. Thank You @TheWafflesFam for the helpful information.
So the stringer on fish 1 you put the post side through the gills of the fish, then through the hole, then start stacking them together with putting the post side through the rest of the fishes gills as you catch them. 🙂
just to the gulf side of the ferry. and a convenience store near by . we used to camp there and fish all night before Harvey. Fish populations are insane in Nueces County but a bit afraid of oil pollution in bottom feeding fish. maybe pass on the flounder
Probably a stupid question but can you eat any of those fish you're catching and if so why aren't you? Seems to me if I catch something that big I would be eating it for breakfast lunch and dinner, then feed the rest to my chickens.
So we fish for our channel basically every week. If we kept everything we caught, we would never eat anything but fish. Lol. But to answer your question, oversized black drum, no. Oversized Reds you can take 2 per year with tags. Slots Reds Blacks and Trout, absolutely! You can take those.
The piers are great but the people NEVER give you any privacy… they are always in your business. The park is prob the best out of this… you have elbow room
What spot would you try first? 🙂
Why not try them all!

Would love to see what bait and rigs you had tied on for each location.
Love all those spots! Nice video and fish Collection
Thank you!
My 8yr old landed a nice 32" Black Drum (Big Ugly) off Horace Cadwell pier last month. He was super stoked to say the least.
That is so awesome!!
Super Cool 😎 We will be really close to that pier when we go in July.
Fish on!!

Nice tip! Ty
You’re welcome!
Try fishing near the Fina piers. Great spot.
Awesome! Thank you for the suggestion!
How do you do that line thing with the "keepers" that big group of fish you pulled up with that orange line at 7:00?
So the stringer on fish 1 you put the post side through the gills of the fish, then through the hole, then start stacking them together with putting the post side through the rest of the fishes gills as you catch them. 🙂
Hello this is Chris w Chaos Saltwater Fishing Fam fish on and give them hell
Thank you so much Chris!!! Good to have you man. & will do!!! 🎣🎣🎣🤙🏼
just to the gulf side of the ferry. and a convenience store near by . we used to camp there and fish all night before Harvey. Fish populations are insane in Nueces County but a bit afraid of oil pollution in bottom feeding fish. maybe pass on the flounder
Yeah that makes sense! That’s awesome.
What would be your recommendation for a rod and reel combo to fish off the pier with. Also lure/bait recommendations. Heading there in July
I would get a rod and reel combo with a 5000 on the reel size. Medium to heavy 7-7.5 pole with mullet. 🙂
We are taking (4) kids from the age of 9 to 15. Gonna try and get them on some fish 🎣
How often you do all go out to port a?
This year I’d say like every two months.
@@TheWafflesFam going here soon staying at oceans hotel thanks for the recommendation
forgot to FISH ON!
What bait to catch shark and big uglys
Primarily we use mullet and menhaden.
Probably a stupid question but can you eat any of those fish you're catching and if so why aren't you? Seems to me if I catch something that big I would be eating it for breakfast lunch and dinner, then feed the rest to my chickens.

What are y’all using for bait to catch fishes that big??
Shrimp, cut pony mullet, finger mullet, hard plastic lures and silver spoons. It’s been a multitude of things. 😅
That was more than likely a bonnethead rather than a hammer head due to the rounder head
It’s a bonneted hammerhead 🙂
The piers are great but the people NEVER give you any privacy… they are always in your business. The park is prob the best out of this… you have elbow room
Yeah the pier is great off season but on season we scope how many people are out there before we pay 🤣.
First
Nailed it!
