Rockport's fishing success depends heavily on tides, wind, and seasonal patterns that Captain Michael monitors daily. Spring and fall typically offer the most consistent action, with cooler water temperatures bringing active feeding. Summer fishing focuses on early morning and late afternoon trips to avoid the heat, while winter provides excellent opportunities for trophy-sized fish in deeper water. Wind direction plays a crucial role in our daily fishing strategy, as we can fish the protected side of the bay system regardless of conditions.
