Cast Away, then let us Cook your Catch!

Rockport-Fulton, Texas (June 28, 2010) − There's no place like Rockport for good fishing, great fish and even better fish stories.  Lured by gentle breezes and the warm waters of the Texas Gulf, most visitors are soon reeled into action and get easily hooked on salt water fishing. 

And, why not? The area is home to some of  Texas' best fishing guides who will have you up at the crack of dawn to explore the most productive flats, estuaries, shorelines and surf for the sport. 

If you're lucky you'll limit out on Reds, Drum, Trout or a tasty bottom dwelling fish known as Flounder.   At the end of an exciting day, you can either cook your own catch on the beach or simply sit back, relax and let some of Rockport's best known culinary spots prepare your catch for you.  Below is a guide to some of Rockport-Fulton locations to either buy fresh seafood or to those scenic areas/restaurants to grill, fry, blacken or bake it.
