Rockport Offshore Fish Species

Mahi mahi

Also known as dolphin (due to its acrobatic nature when hooked), the distinct blue and green body and fight of this massive fish makes this a target for many anglers. Rockport's coast provides great fishing for mahi mahi.

Red snapper

Most active in the summer, these sought-after fish are some of the best to target here due to Rockport and Port Aransas's bottom structure off of the coastline. 

Cobia

Known for their strength and ability to fight, Rockport waters are ideal for cobia fishing. Large cobia reside offshore, whereas smaller cobia live in the inlets and bays of the central Texas coastline.
