Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: We have a 14 day cancellation policy.

Payment is due in full 14 days before your arrival date. There are no refunds after this date.

Q: What is your hurricane policy?
A: We have a new hurricane policy due the unfortunate losses experienced with Hurricane Ike. For all reservations made beginning May 1, 2009, there are no refunds due to inclement weather including hurricanes. We will only refund if there is a mandatory evacuation by the National Weather Service for Aransas County and only for the dates of the evacuation. We offer vacation rental insurance that not only protects you against hurricane losses at your destination home, but also at your place of residence. Please look over the CSA travel protection that we offer to see if it is right for you.

Q: What should we use for bait?
A: If you prefer live bait, the bait stands in Rockport and Fulton have shrimp most of the time. Finger mullet, pin fish, croaker, piggy perch, and crabs are seasonal. If you have a cast net, you can catch bait fish in the canals and the bay particularly around sunset. You can also fish with fresh dead or frozen shrimp, but stay away from squid and other dead fish as they usually only catch hard heads or crabs.
Q: What kind of lures should we use?
A: Any freshwater bass lure can catch trout. Chris's favorite lures are Bass Assassins and Salt Water Assassins. At night try black back, grey belly no sparkle or solid white assassins. During the day try clear with gold speckle, or any other light or sparkle assassins. Speck rigs work well for trout and reds. Small jigs and bass assassins bounced off the bottom and under the piers can catch flounder.
Q: What kind of fishing line should I use?
A: No need to use anything larger than 15 pound test line for bait fishing. Chris only uses 8 and 10 lb test line for lure and live bait fishing, and he hasn't lost that many fish!
Q: What are some other fising tips?
> A: Keep your noise level down. The quieter you are, the more fish you will catch, however, how do you keep your 6 year old from jumping up and down and clapping every time they catch a 4 inch yellow tail? Turn the fishing lights on at sunset and off by morning. Also, remember that the fish are not on any schedule. Sometimes they are biting and sometimes they aren't. When they aren't biting, take a break and try again later because you never know when the fish will turn on!
Q: What else is there to do in Rockport besides fishing?
A: Rockport has a lot to offer besides fishing. Please visit the Local Area Guide section of our website to see many of the other things to do in Rockport, Texas.
