Unloading the SkimmerFor the third year in a row, Alamo Fly Fishers has arranged with Rockport Birding and Kayak Adventures to transport our members with kayaks for a day of fishing to the Fence Lake area on the back side of San Jose Island. Cost for transport is expected to remain around $50 per person.

We will meet at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, October 3rd, at Rockport Birding and Kayak Adventures (www.rockportadventures.com), 216 North Fulton Beach Road. We will load our kayaks and fishing gear aboard their transport boat, the Skimmer, and try to leave by 6:00 a.m. Capt. Tommy Moore will be taking us to the edge of the Fence Lake area on the backside of San Jose Island for a day of fishing and kayaking. This is a premier flats fishing area where tailing redfish are commonly found. But don’t overlook the drop-off along the shoreline, potholes, and passes for Speckled Trout. The Skimmer will return later that afternoon, approximately 3:30 p.m., to pick up those who will not be staying the night. Those who will be camping will be picked up at a scheduled time on Sunday. A definite time and location for the return trip will be determined that morning.

Jon King: Former State Record 42" Red Fish.The second group jetty trip of the year is planned for Saturday night July 4th. As usual, we will take the last Jetty Boat run of the day, leaving Fisherman’s Wharf at 6:00pm, and camp out on the jetty all night. The North Jetty is a remote location, only accessible by boat, but still within view of Port Aransas. Jetties are manmade fish magnets, and you never know what you might catch. During tide changes, strong currents of water move bait around the rocks, and attracts the predator fish to feed. It’s like the “Now Serving” light gets turned on, and the fish line up to eat. Fishing at night under a full moon can be fantastic, but just watching that moon rise up out of the ocean, on a clear night, is worth the price of admission. Recently tarpon have been returning in greater numbers to the Texas coast, and they have been spotted a passes and around the ends of jetties. In addition to hooking and landing tarpon, this trip in the past has produced a state record redfish, large speckled trout, snook, jacks, Spanish mackerel, and ladyfish. There are so many great spots to fish along the jetty, and a variety of fish to match. Many of our guys, who have been here before, have their favorite spots and rocks to fish from.

On Saturday April 25th we have an educational trip planned to see and tour the modern, state-of-the-art saltwater fish hatchery near Lake Jackson. Sea Center Texas is operated by Texas Parks & Wildlife, and is one of three hatcheries on the Texas coast www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/seacenter/. In addition to the fish hatchery, the Visitor Center on site houses interpretive displays, a “touch tank” and aquariums depicting native Texas habitats including a salt marsh, jetty, reef and open Gulf exhibits. The hatchery produces juvenile red drum and spotted speckled trout to stock in Texas bays, and has the capability to produce up to 15 million juvenile fish each year. Friends and family are invited and encouraged to join us for the hatchery tour at 2:30pm. Admission is free, but space is limited and you need to sign up in advance.
