Goose island state park

[BLACKFINTURKEY]

We're headed down there for the first time next weekend. Looking for a few fishing tips not very familiar with rockport at all non the less goose island. I know of some reef locations and that's about it. Any body familiar with the area? Tips and lures to use? Will be in kayaks so our range is about 5 miles.

It's bigger than you think! I'd go to Goose Island Rock Port to me is more of a boat place.

There was a recent thread about Goose Island and some guys were giving some good advice

I used to live in goose island. Keep in mind I suck at saltwater fishing but if you drive the road past the free public ramp and past those cottages (I think it's called big tree cabins now) and to the last 90 degree turn near the water we would wade fish right there. Never any monsters but was always good for 4 or 5 keepers. My brother had a boat and would go further back in st Charles and fish the oyster reefs/beds.. whatever there called. And did pretty good. Sorry wish I was more help.

Thanks for the help I appreciate it.

Whatever you do try to get a campsite on the island ! If you stay in the woods you better bring plenty of Off. We use to stay there a lot and always on the island. Once we stayed in the woods and like to have gotten hauled away by the skeeters.

All they had available was the wooded area I'm not to happy about that but we have plenty of off and thermocels.

Another spot i dont think was mentioned is behind the rockport airport. There is a little park off of Loop 1781 you can launch at.

Sounds like a fun trip. In for the info and an after action report next week

If you've never had the experience go catch a big black drum off a pier, heck of an experience for an old west Texas perch catcher like myself. Other than that the guys at Tackle Town are pretty helpful, either that or they felt sorry for a lost west Texas redneck perch catcher.
