Aransas Pass, Rockport, and Port Aransas
Januari 11, 2026
Captain Justin Coghlan here with your weekly fishing report from Clean Fun Fishing. We've had some excellent action this week in the waters around Aransas Pass, Rockport, and Port Aransas, and I want to share what's been working for my customers. This Week's Catches The fishing has been outstanding this week, with anglers consistently landing quality redfish, black drum, and speckled trout. The key to our success has been targeting deeper guts adjacent to grass flats. My customers have been using cut mullet and live shrimp as bait, and both have proven highly effective in these productive areas. The deeper guts provide excellent ambush points for these species, especially during the cooler winter months and low tides when fish tend to hold in areas with better water circulation and slightly warmer temperatures. The adjacent grass flats serve as feeding areas, making the transition zones particularly productive. Weather Conditions This week brought varied weather conditions to our coastal waters. Temperatures ranged from lows in the upper 30s to highs in the mid-70s. Water temperatures in the Aransas Pass area have been holding in the 56-65 degree range, which is typical for mid-January in our region. These temperatures keep the fish active and feeding, though they tend to concentrate in deeper water during the cooler parts of the day. Techniques and Tips For the best results this week, focus your efforts on the deeper guts and channels that run alongside grass flats. Look for water depths of 3-6 feet, particularly in areas where you can see the transition from grass to open bottom. Cut mullet has been the top producer for larger redfish and black drum, while live shrimp has been deadly on speckled trout and smaller reds. Early morning and late afternoon have been prime feeding times, though the fish have been cooperative throughout the day when you find the right structure. Pay attention to tidal movement, as the fish have been most active during the incoming and outgoing tides when baitfish are pushed through these gut areas. Tight lines, and I'll see you on the water!

Bring some light clothing that’s good for sun protection and shoes that you can stand in for a while. Squalls can roll in this time of year so make sure you make a decent rain jacket. Patrick had some for us either way.

Look at the moon chart and weather report. You can’t plan for everything but full moon cycles can delay when the fish bite the next day. Wind and tropical storms can churn up the water and affect the behavior of the fish.

Tough conditions today with excessive wind and extra high tide which made it harder to find the fish. Going early for half a day is best for summer in Texas. Gets real hot real fast. Especially if you don’t have cloud coverage.

It’s windy here. There’s chances to catch fish on piers and bays. If you go on a charter you will catch as many fish that you want. Rockport is a fishing town.

Be ready to wade if you want the full experience. Wading requires some physical effort, the bottom is soft, muddy and uneven.

We stayed the week here on the bay and it was pretty windy all week. However, we first had our trip scheduled on Wednesday but the captain called and said we should reschedule it for Thursday. Thursday was the lone day we had calm weather. The sun was hot, and bright, but we had an evening trip from 4-8p so it wasn’t overbearing

Find a good guide like Tommy. Where you fish isn’t trivial. You need someone who knows the area, knows how the fish are moving, knows the tides, bait options, etc. Bring clothing that will keep you good in the wind and in early morning cooler temps. Bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen.
