Guided Fishing Expert guide Capt. Hunter Campbell will help guests explore the Upper Laguna Madre! Book a trip with Mustang Island Adventures at Cinnamon Shore and head out in our Haynie 23 Super Cat for angling fun ranging from bait fishing to sight casting in the flats.

What Lakes Allow Fishing at Cinnamon Shore?

All of them! We currently have five on-site lakes stocked with fish. At Cinnamon Shore North, you'll find Lake Gavin and Lake Colby, which has a dock and boardwalk. At Cinnamon Shore South, South Town Lake is a centerpiece of the community, and the community pavilion offers a great spot to cast. Leisure Lake and Sundown Lake also offer stocked waters. No fishing license required for on-site fishing, but fishing license is required for surf casting. You can buy a fishing license at the IGA Family Center in downtown Port Aransas.

Plans are in the works for additional ponds at Cinnamon Shore South, with boardwalks and more fishing pavilions around Sundown Lake. So stay tuned!

What Type of Fish?

Look for tilapia, perch, bass, and the occasional Texas redfish in the brackish waters of the lakes. Being so close to the Gulf, our lakes support all of these species. All of our community lakes are catch and release, so the fun never ends!

Any Tips for Newbies? 

The kids poles just require an easy press of the button to cast the line, while the adult poles have spinning reels which make casting a little trickier for newbies.

Keep safety in mind. Remember to watch for hooks that snag, especially as kids and families walk past.

Book a Home & Enjoy Fishing

Port Aransas offers four piers where you can try your luck. Just have your fishing license handy or pick one up at the IGA Family Center downtown. Then you can head to Horace Caldwell Pier.; the ;pier at Roberts Point Park the Ancel Brudrette Pier, with lighthouse views; or Charlie's Pasture Fishing Pier, located along the shipping channel.
