Captain Ron targets them using artificial lures, live bait, or fly fishing techniques depending on conditions and client preferences. Redfish are available year-round in Rockport, but many anglers consider fall and spring the prime seasons when water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding in shallow water.
