The options I see are the Rockport Beach piers x2, the city Fulton Harbor pier, Goose Island state park piers, and the state Copano Bridge pier. I am going to be doing night fishing this weekend, which is my best bet for trout and reds? Any advice appreciated. The only one I have been to is Copano bridge and caught alot of small specs last year.

It has been an age since I fished on the Copano Bridge or Goose Island, so I can't answer there. The pier in Fulton has green lights, and usually dink trout hanging around. The wooden, unlit pier on the north end of Rockport Beach we've managed a nice slot red a couple of times. Flounder can be had there, too. On the south end of the beach (no beach pass required) there is a concrete and rock groin/jetty/pier that I've managed trout and Sheepshead from. I've never had success trying for flounder on the beach side, but I know they are there. Years back, we would walk to the end of the Rockport Harbor wall, and catch our fill of trout. I don't think you can walk the wall any more, but there is a newer concrete and rock groin at Market and Water street. Would love to hear what others have as experiences and how yours turns out.
Thanks for the help guys. I will definately let you know what happens, and will likely try all the piers at some point this weekend
Where are you staying--Laguna reef has a good pier I have caught fish year around there--it has a nice pool and hot tub too--play ground for the kids--real family people..
I would not stay in hotel there that does not have a pier.
the Copano pier has produced a ton of fish-I fish there since 1974--if you catch a good one keep it to your self--when those potlickers see a good one they will cover you up..

I'd like to avoid the pot lickers as much as possible. I'm staying at a cabin next to the boiling pot
one thing you will eat well----you can rent a yak there and fish all those lights --we did that one night and caught a ton of fish--the guy that took me called it Light Hopping
it was fun--caught some good fish on the edge of the lights--just watch out for folks on the piers--you will scare the **** out of them--esp if you paddle under them to stay out of their way--most were nice some not so--one guy had us help him land a red--and gave us a beer.
Try the pier in Conn Brown harbor at the end of the penninsula in the harbor. I've caught lots of flounder there.
