The fish Port Aransas anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Port Aransas — "Port A" — sits on Mustang Island with the Aransas Pass connecting the rich Coastal Bend bays to the Gulf, so anglers work redfish and speckled trout on the grass flats of the Lighthouse Lakes and the Lydia Ann Channel, then run the jetties for big black drum and bull reds. The pass is a historic tarpon fishery that gave the town its old nickname, "Tarpon," and silver kings still show in late summer. Offshore, king mackerel, ling and the deep snapper grounds are a short run out.
