I fish the Rockport area a lot during the summer. I park a travel trailer there duing the summer and try and make it every weekend. Lots of reds and specks mainly. Last summer we ventured outside the jetties into the gulf. We hooked up on a lot of big fish but only managed to land one king and a jack fish. We were undergunned. Going to try it again this year with better equipment. We fought one fish for 45 minutes and finally broke off. we chased it around in the boat, dont know what it was.
I fish a lot of live bait, croakers and piggies and live shrimp. We caught a few blacktips last year in the bay and a boatload of gaftop..
Heres one trip with my brother in law, he fishes their a lot too, he has a nice house down there but lives here in san antonio. this pic is of some trout and reds. this was last year also
