6-15-2013: I'm going to make this fishing report short but sweet, because it's been a long time since I woke up this morning at 4 am and still have plenty to do before I go to bed. Trout fishing has been good all around the Rockport area, but it has slowed a little this week due to losing some water in the bays. The best catches have been coming from San Antonio & Copano Bays while either wade fishing or fishing the deep reefs with live croaker.


Redfish have been awesome for me since I target them more often now rather than pursuing trout. Best bait for me has been mullet.


Hope all of you have a great Father's Day weekend, and make some fond memories while out on the water
I still have a few days in June in which to book up solid for the month.

 Give me a call today to reserve your spot!

Come & Experience Adventure!

6-15-2013  Hello To Everyone, The June weather has been quite strange with "Northers" happening frequently. Fronts coming from the north this time of the year have been unusual to say the least. Many of the Guides admit they do not remember ever experiencing these conditions. What all does this mean in the "Fish Catching Department"? Well, what it means is fishing is good to excellent one day and not so productive the next. But with that being said we just completed doing a "Chemo Kids Tournament" this
last Monday. Seeing those Kids with smiles from one ear to the other to just catch anything made me appreciate it's not all about filling a box with fish...it's the memories. What a case and point lesson to remember again!!! Croakers are doing well in the 4-6 foot depths for Trout and cut Shad has been doing well in the potholes for Reds. Black Drum are showing in numbers and have been easy to catch on shrimp. Please give us a call and lets go catch a memory or two!
You can contact us via our website...www.tigernetfishguideservice.com, or by our e-mail... tigernet@cableone.net.

I promise I'll give you 120%  of Pure Fishing Excitement so...

Let's Go Fishing!!!

6-15-2013:Hello fellow fishermen. Trout fishing has been hot in Aransas Bay on live croaker. The big girls are spawning on sandy shorelines lined with grassbeds. Free lined works best, but if diving birds start grabbing your bait try a small slip weight. High water has the redfish way up shallow. Set your bait in an area where the the tide dumps off a flat and wait for them to move thru. We have been taking good limits of red snapper on offshore trips with some dorado and wahoo mixed in. So far we have hooked one blue marlin but the shear power of a four hundred pound fish was a little to much for our gear. The weather isn't the only thing heating up. Lots of hungry fish, so lets book a trip and go get em!
Coastal Legends Guide...Capt. Frank!
Until next time, good luck and be safe out there on the water.

6-15-2013: Hello Sportsmen and ladies!  Fishing and caching has been good. This whole 2 weeks of June has been good. The live croaker have got the size we want and the specks are eating them. As I have written before June is one of my favorite months to fish and July is not much different. The reefs up north have been great and so has been down south. I went 3 days north and 3days south and fishing has been great. Even the 6 to 13 year old kids are not having a problem hooking fish.  It's starting to get warm in the afternoons but we have not had to fish past 1;00 PM with nice boxes of keeper trout. Give me a call and I'll be glad to take ya'll fishing!

6-15-2013 Hello fishrockport.com readers. Still catching Black Drum , Redfish & Trout . This morning my plan was to hit the Black drum first and then go trout fishing . Well darn it . As I made my way to where the school of black drum I caught a un-mistakable smell of watermelon . I kept to my plan and held a steady course for those line stripping drum . I ran a short distance from the first trout slick and darn it ; I ran across another strong smell of watermelon . This was taking me off my game plan . Normally I hold true to my game plan because there are reasons for that. I pulled up wind of the second trout slick and we cast-out and started hooking trout steady for 30 or so minutes. When the trout bite slowed I pulled anchor and made a bee line for the school of black drum . We managed to box 11 black drum in short notice. I pulled out and went up to shore and took a moment to drink some water and I counted the trout. Wow we had 17 trout in a really short time . Not bad for just using the nose .I had the same clients the next day as well and we made a bee line even earlier to the trout the next morning to catch the tail end of the incoming tide and popped 'em good in the exact spot as the day before. 
Sometimes you have to deviate from your plan because they might not be there when you go back later in the trip. By the way the reason the trout were there was because of shad was flicking the surface and trout just love them.

 FLOUNDER GIGGING AT NIGHT IS FANTASTIC! 

6-15-2013:  Hello South Texas Giggers!  We’ve had some rain here and there – but overall the fishing’s been absolutely great! We’ve been seeing lots of baby flounder at 2 to 4 inches long – nice to see that considering the water temps are already a little warmer than usual. There have been big tide movements in the overnight hours so be sure to target the slough and guts for those big flounder. Also, there have been some excellent catches of black drum – that are just a fun to catch and good to eat as redfish are – if not better! Flounder fishing is so popular because it’s cool during the night and families with younger children love these trip – see a beautiful sunset, lots of stars, an unforgettable moonrise at certain times of the month - while catching these unique and beautiful fish! Still have a few days open around the 4th of July weekend – so come on down and LET’S FLOUNDER!!!

A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE AWAITS YOU, YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS... FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

6-15-2013: Trout is all that I have been fishing for the last two weeks. Croaker are good for the most part, but there are days when they are small and beat up. Boat limits are common when the bait is good, but when the bait is bad it can be tough. I have two fish this year ( two weeks) over 28. the weather is still a factor, but surely it has to stabilize. I have not heard a red fish report as everyone is trout fishing. Overall, fishing is great and catching is even better. If you can focus and pay attention a limit or a boat limit is there for the taking. Summer time is here so please take advantage of the what the "Coast" has to offer.

6-15-2013: Trout action has been good on the shell reefs and wells in Corpus Bay. Redfish action continues to be good on the flats with live perch or cut shad. The tide has been pretty high so you can get most anywhere that is usually too shallow to get to. The reds have been in about 18 inch deep water. Drifting with live shrimp and popping corks has been good for small reds and trout. Were using live croakers freelined on the flats and along some of the shorelines and reefs. Check the edges of the ICW for trout and reds if there is a good current moving. July should be a great fishing month so give me a call to arrange your fishing trip. I also have gift certificates available.

6-15-2013  The trout fishing has been really picking up. The croaker have been the trick for free-lining on shell reefs. Outside of Traylor Island, things are also picking up and producing nice catches while wade fishing - my favorite method!  In the flats, Estes and elsewhere are holding good numbers of reds and I would recommend using live finger mullet in the sand holes.  Thanks for reading my report!
