## Frequently asked questions
**What are the best baits for Catfish?**
Cut bait, such as pieces of fish (mullet, croaker), and shrimp are very effective for catching both hardhead and gafftopsail catfish.

**Where can I find Catfish in Port Aransas?**
Catfish are commonly found in the bay systems, along the jetties, in deeper channels, and sometimes even nearshore where they scavenge for food.

While hardhead catfish are generally not considered good table fare, gafftopsail catfish can be eaten if properly prepared. Many anglers catch them for sport rather than for consumption.

**What is the best time of year for Hybrid Bass?**
Spring and fall offer the most consistent opportunities for Hybrid Bass fishing as they move into feeding patterns. Cooler water temperatures often trigger these feeding frenzies.

They are renowned for their aggressive strikes and powerful, sustained runs when hooked, providing an exciting challenge for anglers of all skill levels.

**What techniques are used to catch Hybrid Bass?**
Common methods include trolling with deep-diving lures, casting artificial baits like jigs and swimbaits, and drifting with live bait such as shad or mullet.

Redfish can be caught year-round, but the spring and fall offer particularly excellent fishing. The fall is especially good for targeting large 'bull reds' in the surf and passes.
