[/size][/font][#000000][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Summer fishing in Port Aransas is producing big catches of kingfish and red snapper. Anglers also are catching some blackfin and yellowfin tuna.
The eight-hour trips out of Dolphin Dock are back to normal with lots of kingfish and shark coming in. [/size][/font][/#000000][/url][/font][/center] [center][font "arial,helvetica"][#000000][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]An eight-hour trip on Sunday also produced some amberjack and the one on Monday resulted in catches of red snapper and barracuda.
On a 40-hour trip, anglers caught their limits of kingfish, red snapper and shark as well as a few amberjack and blackfin tuna.
[/center][/size][/font][/#000000][/font] [center][font "arial,helvetica"][#000000][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Woody’s Sport Center said a local angler went to the north jetty Monday and came back with a limit of nice speckled trout.
A few redfish are biting in the channel, and they are still catching and releasing tarpon off the end of the north jetty.
"Fishing has been pretty decent," [/size][/font][/#000000][/font][/center] [center][font "arial,helvetica"][#000000][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Good stringers and limits of red snapper are coming in, along with grouper, scamp, bluefish, kingfish, shark, blackfin tuna, ling and barracuda.
On one of the trips, a sailfish was caught and released.
Fishing is picking up, even on the shorter trips, according to Fisherman’s Wharf.
On one of the afternoon trips, an angler brought in an "extra large" sailfish.
Anglers also are coming back with yellowfin and blackfin tuna, large catches of kingfish and red snapper.
Deep Sea Headquarters said fishing was "very good last week."
