The Aransas Wildlife Refuge has some great bank fishing spots, and the wading area near the McDonalds resturant in Fulton is another good spot.  But the best part about Rockport is the "Boiling Pot" resturant, you cant spend time in Rockport without eating at the Boiling Pot!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I WILL BE THERE THIS WEEKEND!

I spent the whole weekend over in Rockport, spent two nights at Hunts Castle in one of their cabins.  OK, place for just men.  If you take wife and kids rent a room inside their main building.  Great pier for fishing caught a few sand trout’s keepers, and a few speckle trout’s, not keepers.  ggonzales, thanks for the advice on “the boiling pot" great food.  I will absolutely keep eating there.  Was not able to fish behind the McDonalds but did see many people there.  Spend half a day at Goose Island, also a great place to fish but with the kids I spent more time fixing their lines.  Next time around I’m going to try "Matagorda State Park" does anyone have any information that can be useful for bank fishing?  Over all it was a great time that we spent in Rockport, definitely a place to visit again.  Kids loved the harbor and got a chance to fish for the shrimp boats for perch.  Just off the side wall, they dipped hooks with shrimp and instantly caught them.  Then we gave them to the shrimp boat owner which sold for bait.
