Hotspots in Rockport?

[Lightweight 8]

The wife and I are going to Rockport for our 34th Anniversary. I know I'm suppose to put on the Cary Grant show and wine and dine, but a guy's gotta fish. Know of any good spots that are easily accessible by Yak or wading in the Rockport/Fulton area?

The area around Goose Island State Park can be good. There is also some areas in St. Charles bay that are accessible.

There are some launch spots not far from Estes flats that can be decent. There is a launch/bait camp at the Palm Harbor RV Park. Paddle across the ICW (quickly) and voila. I've fished those marshes and the farther back you can get the better - there is typically alot of boat pressure on Estes so be safe. Redfish and flounder have been solid for me in the past. I typically do better on lighter colored lures and Buggs crab and shrimp imitations.

Thanks guys. I had heard that Goose Island State Park is good for specs. I had considered Oak Point but wasn't sure. I hadn't considered Estes flats, but it's do-able in a yak and I would like to get into some reds, just for fun, I rarely eat fish. I'm hoping to notch a tarpon, jack crevalle, red, spec and flounder on my fly rod, but I think that's a pipe dream for an extended Texas slam. I appreciate the pointers

yes, the park can be good for specs first thing in the morning or at night under the lights. walk off the pier on the south side and wade along the gut.

I've heard the fishing has been really off down there this year, go down there and prove them wrong. Congrat's on your 34th anniversary, we just had our 41st.
