We Are Luxetta
Texas' Premier Fishing Paradise
Rockport and Fulton are located on the Live Oak Peninsula in Aransas County, Texas. This is the dead center of the area known as the “coastal bend.” Our bays are separated from the Gulf of Mexico by barrier islands, Matagorda to the north, San Jose in the center, and Mustang to the south. Here, the vast shallow grass flats of the Laguna Madre to the south collide with the deeper, oyster-laden bays of the northern Texas coast. This diversity of water and structure makes Aransas County an ideal ecosystem for a huge variety of fish including inshore target species like spotted seatrout, redfish (red drum), black drum, and flounder. This rich estuary is blessed with freshwater rivers including the Nueces, Aransas, Mission, and Guadalupe that create the ideal salinity for shrimp, crab, and baitfish to flourish. This abundance of food keeps the fish local and grows them big and plentiful.
At Redfish Lodge, we offer more than just bay fishing. Our guides can take your group fly fishing or wade fishing along the flats, or if you’re looking for something truly memorable, try flounder gigging — a nighttime adventure that’s unlike anything else on the water. Whatever your group’s preference, we have an option that fits. Simply let us know what type of fishing experience you’re after when you fill out your inquiry, and we’ll take care of the rest.
In the center of the coastal bend is the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, a vast natural area that spreads from Lamar to Tivoli, set aside for the majestic whooping cranes. This beautiful and bountiful refuge provides the backdrop for most of the fishing adventures, as well as some of the most amazing birding in North America. From November to April, the whooping cranes can be seen daily during their forages for crabs, snails, and other aquatic delicacies.
