Fishing Port Bay Rockport | Texas Fishing Travels

I visited the awesome city of Rockport, Tx. I am simply amazed on how much history this small big city has. Located off the South Texas Coast, Rockport offers so much to the outdoors enthusiast. It's a very fishing friendly city. I had a great time exploring Rockport, Tx and I will be back!

[@brandonnorthern1708]

This is the best intro you’ve ever done! Seriously, this was a 1st class introduction. Congratulations on the evolution of your video production. You are our household favorite for local fishing entertainment and education.

[@fishingwithsam7526]

Thank you brother the best 😮

[@manuelsfishnet]

awesome show thank u for visiting Rockport Texas

[@georgerehak1424]

Thanks Nick for coming to Rockport and fishing Port Bay. There’s better fishing at Lighthouse Lakes and Brown & Root Flats between Aransas Pass and Port Aransas with more grass beds and oyster beds with clear water. Next time you come we should try those areas. George

[@RXAngler]

Thanks George. Send me an email and we will get together one day.

[@conniewolf7300]

Used to camp there every year before I left TX over 30 yrs ago.

[@vinceh5163]

My brothers and i been going since we were youngsters there and aransas pass its great that you created a tribute to this outstanding fishery and small town. Keep it coming Nick wish we could get together with you someday by then hope i have my big fish 108 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jamescollins2978]

Grew up on Copano Bay, great place with super cool places to visit. The fishing can be slow especially if you don't know it but fall and winter is really great! Loving the road trips!!! Thank you partner!

[@stuartjobnson4659]

I grew up here in rockport fished copano my whole life.

[@cleanfunfishing]

It's not just a winter time area... I've been doing pretty good here lately. Caught a limit of reds in my video yesterday. So don't be discouraged

[@barksyxo]

hope you enjoyed your visit here (:!!

[@bottomlinefishing3718]

You should head to the north shore of copano bay during the time around thanksgiving where there is a north wind. The water gets clear and there are tons of trout and reds!

[@cblackburn2591]

best place to live and fish.

[@VS30MEDINA]

Love your channel brother

[@offthegridliving3339]

I really like your videos. Great job man.

[@adolphvega121]

Hey Nick, it’s pronounced “Co-Puno” Bay but spelled Copano Bay. Great little town, nice of you give it some exposure. 30 Miles out fishes that area

[@Hookem361]

Yes, you're correct, on the pronunciation.

[@weirdfishweirdfish6636]

Great vid hit up ty next time you go out their

[@FishTr22]

editing was good enough nick but get urself a legit mic to do the narration... u will love me once u do... crisp audio i guaranteed it

[@BlackWaterDojo]

Pronounced Co-puh-no

[@Hookem361]

Yes, yes it is.

[@kevinroberts9814]

Yes. Accent on the first syllable.

[@Sn-tk8rq]

Is that a new bay? Stop it. :)

[@CatchingwithKyle]

Wow I’m blown away at this awesome editing!!

[@riverabob26]

Another great video! I’m loving these Texas road fishing trips! Your editing and intro are awesome Nick! Keep up the great work!

[@TrailChaser]

Great stuff Nick. That intro was top shelf quality work! You're making some awesome fishing videos!

[@AJOutdoors1]

Co-Pa-No Bay. :) Not Ca-Pano. Enjoyed the video.

[@jamescollins2978]

HAHAHAA , I grew up there in Holiday Beach so everytime he said it.... I was yelling stop that!!! LOL

[@Hookem361]

Yes, you are correct.

[@cr39011]

I enjoyed this show very much, keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching.

[@bethanyalaniz5142]

Try fishing at 268-290 Seabreeze Dr Rockport, TX 78382 United States, there’s a really good Pier their, last time I went we caught over 19 fish

[@leaguecitysmokeshow8088]

I’m glad I’ve discovered your KZbin channel. Your videos are awesome, entertaining and informative. Best of all you’re in Houston! I live in League City (South Shore Harbour). Thanks again!

[@Set4Trout]

Great job on the air views. I live in Rockport and do a lot of kayak fishing, if I see you on the water I'll be happy to show you some of my favorite spots. Tight Lines, Be Well.

[@irambetancourt7922]

No way ive been there these past couple of days, so upset i didnt get to see you 😡😂

[@zacklovesliz]

You should of colabed with ty from 30 miles out.

[@NancyLindsey-w8z]

Jason and his wife use live in Rockport

[@AamirKhanOfficial]

You’re awesome bro ! Love watching all your videos

[@jerrypauling7809]

You need to go a little further down the road to the Mission river and fish the mouth of Mission bay.

[@larasfishingchronicles9301]

Do you fish the Mission River by kayak? I've always been curious of doing that Launching from the boat ramp to the mouth of the river How long does it take by kayak looks far on Google maps the last time I cruzed down the river was when I was a kiddo on my dad's boat in the early 90s

[@jerry-381]

Lotta gators up that way

[@slikrik6098]

Great place Lived there when I was a child, Easter we spent there at Big Tree.

[@brendaleevillarreal9851]

grew up there .. that beach was my front yard . we lived right across the hwy from it

[@lucid_gabv12lucid20]

I was just there this weekend I got 3 keepers and some crab I wish I saw you I left today it was Wendy this weekend because it’s hurricane season me and my dad had fun I love your vids

[@brendaleevillarreal9851]

i love your coverage on my home town . i have been relocated to Austin due to hurricane Harvey . but i love seeing my home town in your video . .do make a point to go back in winter get the good fishing in and check out some of the hunting lease during duck season and get out on the air boat for it .

[@NancyLindsey-w8z]

I Love fishing at Rockport

[@jenswilliamson2733]

Jens Williamson, III (Deaf) Please stay positive when The Goose Island State Park will open up this October 2020. Okay! Have a great day! Respectfully, Jens Williamson, III (Deaf) Deaf Angler 🎣 MISP is the best place to fish there because of Pringle Lake (not far). Where : Port O'Connor, Texas. You get it!

[@donnab5700]

I have been in Rockport the last four days fishing hard! Same situation. High winds, low tide movement. In my arsenal of Buggs, the only one I didn’t throw was the Hothead. Ugh! Caught a few 13” throwback Specs and a small Red. Fish were there somewhere because at the cleaning station they had chests FULL of Reds & Trout. But, you know what they say; any day on the water is a good say. Headed home to the Galveston area tomorrow.

[@sloshyjoe]

Nick you are setting the bar at whole different level for fishing channels, keep up the good work!!!

[@sailtime4200]

Great video...fishing is great in Rockport. So is the bacterial count. Chemical pollutants rapidly building up...get here quick. Might suggest a strict "catch and release" policy if you avoiding bacteria and chemical pollutants...none of which Texas or Rockport officials openly address. Ask about the bacterial count at "little bay" or Rockport Beach.

[@travellingonuptozion5658]

I just came frm rock port and corpus Christi tx...nice place..very quiet ..friendly people.....fish all night...lay on the 🌴 beach

[@TheGoodeLifeOutdoors]

One of my favorite places in the whole world! Great video - love the drone shots!

[@jolay9759]

This Ray speaking, wish you would get the correct pronunciation of Copano. Just like Co-pa-no. Not Co-pan-o. Ask the locals for the correct pronunciation of Copano.

[@tonirad9577]

Thanks for visiting our little town .Beautiful pictures !

[@leovasquez5016]

It is a fantastic area to fish, dine, kayak or just relax. Folks around here pronounce Co'pano Bay (accent on first syllable). Nonetheless, great video and you made us want to go there soon. Thanks and tight lines.

[@tfsprint100]

Would’ve been cool to see you and @ThresherFishing fishing 6’ apart!!

[@jacobhaley5156]

Thresher fishing is a good channel

[@JohnTalmadgeMD]

Excellent production values and a pleasure to watch. I’ve fished Rockport for over 50 years, and you’ve done a terrific job. Would love to fish with you anytime!

[@toddschmidt9356]

great video going to winter in Rockport bringing 2 kayaks hoping I can get on some good fishing. I'm from the Missouri Ozarks so it will be all new to me

[@pmchamlee]

Doc Nick! You slayed it on this video! Not only are your wildlife vids and their accompanying music Superb, but also your humility shows through when you don't catch a load of fish. Your style is perfect to teach young folks to endure less than optimum situations; your sharing the local area high spots, and your organization of all three are great. By the way, the tree you highlighted is no doubt a Quercus virginiana {Live Oak} which deserves the respect of we mortals. Many thanks for your efforts and best wishes to Dear Allison from the old First Sergeant. 🤠

[@danfish4life249]

Should have fished in the very back of the bay near Bayside. Port A gets a lot of fishing pressure.

[@jamesgentry2297]

Try Aransas Pass on your Texas fishing travels. Just a short distance from rockport. Lots of marsh areas and inlets.

[@jongarza9199]

Another fact on rockport is that it was the tarpon capital of the world back then. But over time it was over fished and now you can’t catch any

[@skipyost177]

Just finished watching the video and YEAH- great job with shooting and editing. Great skills man. Where do you store your drone when you're on the water??

[@NHJDT]

very well made video. Planning on visiting rockport this weekend and maybe get a rv spot there.

[@Thumpor]

Great Video. What mount is the pole on the Kayak looks to have a phone mount on it?

[@skipyost177]

Awesome video, editing, and music selection. Definitely love the travel videos and seeing fishing spots in TX. Keep up the great vids- really appreciate it.

[@dirtlegchaser2424]

is this place as trashy as corpus christi? it was pretty sad to see how much garbage was everywhere there.

[@tazmac4559]

Ive fished rockport as far back as i can remember. It is truely a geat fishing area. Im glad you had a chance to see and fish at least part of it

[@vinceh5163]

Nick dont be fooled windy days top water can produce just FYI

[@jaceramos111]

Your fishing some of my home waters

[@brendaleevillarreal9851]

go Pirates

[@CoastalGX]

Another awesome episode; huge fan of your videos and your special series. 🎥🎬👍🏽

[@stevegarcia5106]

Cool video Nick. I spend a lot of time in Rockport, love it there.

[@porfiriotorres2533]

AWS video u make 1 hell of 1 good luck & be safe on the water

[@yakinyakkers]

Sweet! Another Texas Road Trip! Nice vid. Thanks.

[@treynorth7269]

My favorite place to fish there.

[@TheCs1968]

I wish I could give this 1k thumbs ups!

[@joewilliams5072]

Nice vid. But Copano is pronounced. KO. Puh NO.

[@b.csplatbriancross7062]

Im so excited!!! Im from Humble/Houston we made it to Victoria tonight, at the LA quintana plus and to Rockport in the morning! Little bay, Arkansas bay,Arkansas pass here we come! Family kitchen Cafe is the best ever ,epic ! 2 eggs 2 biscuits, hashbrowns,AND A BIG CHICKEN FRIED STEAK 10 BUCKS!!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

[@troyheald77]

AAA+++

[@brandonburr3061]

Make sure you practice 6ft but anyways 💀😁

[@Joetrout]

What shimano baitcaster are u using towards the end?

[@barrettgarcia2668]

Tackle town is definitely not a seafood restaurant

[@jentrygillespie8165]

I'm sure some pronounce Copano the way you said it but we always pronounced it the first "o" being a long o sound. This was a great video and I love fishing port and Copano, my hometown being just north. Like others mentioned, great year round fishing, not just winter time.

[@marcogarza641]

Outstanding work on all fronts.

[@torteeya]

What's too much wind for you? I didn't go out this evening because it was blowing at 14 mph. Im going to try again early tomorrow. Cool video! I like how you're changing it up.

[@erickmeier2369]

Do all my fishing in the back bays at night.

[@Lekeithjr]

They fish with Corkeys out there I do believe

[@FG-qh7qx]

Yea man port bay is not an area that holds fish. It's a gar hole. If you were looking for tailing reds, and school of redfish I could have helped you out. I would say the better spots around that area wont be found at public kayak launches. Great video and i hope you come back again.

[@curtisblair7618]

It looks like a nice place place , but not anywhere I'd want to visit in the summer. Too many people, not good fishing, and hot. 😉

[@georges3242]

Nice entertaining/informative video. I sailed to Rockport many years ago with a friend who had a house a few blocks from the small boat harbor. Did some crabbing but no fishing.

[@keithingalls5786]

Fishing Port Bay this weekend, my dad’s house is right on the water and almost in view on your footage.. there’s some good spots out there, just have to know where to go, been finding good black drum and nice trout during the last few months, keeper reds are hard to come by until fall/winter.. there’s some cool little marsh cuts across the bay from where you launched but if that wind is blowing, it’s rough getting anywhere out there

[@j.d.9648]

Great video Nick! Thanks for showing us around Rockport. Been down there a bunch over the years. I was wondering how they were coming along with their rebuild after Hurricane Harvey. We used to stay at Goose Island SP all the time! Tip! Night fishing under the lights pays off limits of trout all the time! Keep the great videos coming!

[@rayjachim4007]

Had my personal best trout fishing day (10 very nice ones) at that spot about ten years ago. Around Christmas time, in the afternoon when the water warmed up a bit. Fished mud and shell mix.

[@industrialexitstrategist2022]

I absolutely enjoy your videos!!

[@Gonzo1968]

Dude you're getting really good at this video thing! Love Rockport heading there in couple weeks.. Goose Island is a great place. Rebuilding the big fishing pier that was destroyed by the hurricane. Great kayak fishing there as well..

[@cchomesteadfarm4064]

Dad has been guiding fishing charters in that area for 40 years. It's a beautiful place for living the salt life. Awesome videos real enjoying the destination type videos you been doing.🤙

[@vinceh5163]

Hey Nick i enjoy when you and old Mark De La Rosa fish together its a great 1-2 punch

[@davidsmith5904]

Now - That's entertainment 🐟

[@conniewolf7300]

I used to go camping there every year when I was younger and lived in TX. It was really small back then.

[@tumbllweed]

Rockport is a cool town. You definitely need to go down there for oyster fest one year if you like oysters. Those ladyfish are fun to catch but man are they some pooping machines. I kept waiting for that fish to poop all over your kayak.

[@jerry-381]

Solid video Nick! Rockport is where I do most of my fishing. Might try back in the marsh. There's some in the northwest end of Port Bay and some on the south end of the bay. I agree the tide probably had something to do with the bite.

[@nathanestep3630]

So glad I stumbled upon this channel. Excellent editing. I true outdoors man. So impressed by his respect of the small reds. Class act and a depth of character not often seen.

[@BlueTree41]

Awesome camera work!!

[@johnpuckett899]

If you see this please reply have you had any more trouble with your power if so please let me know also I have a questiondoes the little green line on top of the power pole blink all the time the batteries hooked up thanks Nick keep pumping out the great videos

[@JS-vi6tq]

How often do you apply the pro cure?

[@cleanfunfishing]

Great video !!! Thats right in my fishing area. Lots of fish around here

[@egregory348]

Fantastic kayak fishing just offshore from the Big Tree in St. Charles Bay.

[@tiberiuswade8789]

Noticed that you have fishfinder mounted. What is your power source and how did you mount transducer ( under yak or over side)

[@jimreaper6]

Rockport my home away from away from home

[@wesleybryant7334]

That guy had a pretty big kayak was it sit inside do you know what kind it was? Great video hope to visit Texas soon my brother lives in Houston area
