Rockport Kayak Fishing Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kayak fishing trip cost with Rocky Branch Charters in Rockport?
Our 5-hour morning and evening kayak fishing trips cost $250 per person, which includes your stable 10-foot watercraft, rods, reels, tackle, bait, and safety gear. If you prefer to bring your own kayak and fishing gear, we offer a discounted rate of $200 per person.
What is included in a kayak fishing charter with Captain Eric?
We provide everything you need for a successful day on the water, including a 10-foot Pelican kayak, life vests, high-quality rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait. Captain Eric also cleans and fillets your legal catch at the end of the trip so it is ready for you to cook.
Is fish cleaning and filleting included in Rocky Branch Charters trips?
Yes, complimentary catch cleaning and filleting are included with all our guided fishing trips at no extra charge. Any fish you catch within the legal limits are yours to keep, and Captain Eric will prep them for your grill or freezer.
Do I need to bring my own fishing gear for my Rockport guided trip?
No, you do not need to bring any fishing gear as we supply all the necessary rods, reels, tackle, and bait. However, if you are interested in fly fishing, you will need to bring your own fly gear, and we also offer a discount if you prefer to bring your own kayak and spinning gear.
What is the best time of year to fish the coastal flats in Aransas Pass?
Our peak season runs from June 1st through September 1st, including all summer holidays, when warm weather keeps Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder highly active in the shallow waters. This summer window offers the most consistent conditions for sighting and catching fish in the local bays.
Where do we meet for our Rocky Branch Charters kayak trip in the Rockport area?
We use three convenient local launch sites depending on your chosen trip: the Rockport Marina, the Fin and Feather Bait Shop in Aransas Pass, or the kayak launch near the historic Lydia Ann Lighthouse. Captain Eric will coordinate the exact meeting spot with you prior to your scheduled departure.
Do you offer non-fishing trips like dolphin watching or birding in Port Aransas?
Yes, we offer fully customizable 2-hour eco-tours starting at $100 per person, including dolphin watching, bird watching, and scenic paddles to the Lydia Ann Lighthouse. These trips can be extended for $50 per hour and are perfect for families, photographers, and nature lovers who want to enjoy the water without fishing.
Do I need a Texas fishing license for a Rockport kayak fishing trip?
Yes, anyone in your group who plans to fish must purchase a valid Texas fishing license with a saltwater endorsement before coming aboard. These are easily obtained online or at local bait shops, and you should check current tagging rules for specific species like Redfish.
Are children welcome on Rocky Branch Charters kayak trips?
Absolutely, kids are highly welcome on both our fishing and eco-tours, as Captain Eric loves teaching young anglers and watching them catch fish. We can configure our 10-foot Pelican kayaks to hold up to four passengers so families can safely paddle together, and we recommend bringing along child-sized life vests to ensure a comfortable fit.
