Fulton Fishing Pier Spring 2021

Fulton Fishing Pier update

The New Fulton Fishing Pier Update is that it’s now complete, and open to the public. The official grand opening was October 30th, 2021. The pier has some new state-of-the-art LED fishing lights that illuminate water for greater visibility of fish below surface level. You can go catch a few nice fish from the end of the pier. Anyone can walk down the pier without charge but if you’re looking for an even more interactive experience, bring your fishing pole to this magnificent structure!

The Town of Fulton finished building a little shack at the entrance of the pier where people fishing will pay $5 per rod in order to cast their lines into Aransas Bay. You can also purchase snacks there and will be attended to most of the time. It’s also completely free just stroll and check out what the people are catching.

History of the Rockport Harbor

In 1866, James Doughty and Richard H. Wood searched for a safe location to ship cattle. They built pens and a livestock-shipping wharf on a place known in those days as “Rocky Point”. Rocky Point was a prominent lime-stone protrusion that extended into Aransas Bay and was located near present-day Wharf Street.

Rockport Fulton Early Shipping

The Steam Ships arrived in Rockport

Other Wharves and pens soon followed. With so many cattle now available, regularly scheduled Morgan Line shallow draft steamboats arrived with merchandise for distribution inland. They would come and soon after departing with cattle and Packery products.

The Aransas Railroad Company

The arrival of the railroad in 1888 ignited a boom in Rockport. The event inspired local businessmen to begin promoting and advertising a strategic harbor near the Gulf. They also pushed to deepen the harbor, as well as to create a deep water port. Even though they tried, their efforts ended when Corpus Christi opened its port in 1926.

The Shrimping Boom at the Rockport Harbor

Rockport Shrimping Boom

In the early 1900s, abundant harvests of fish, oysters, and shrimp fueled a thriving seafood industry. By 1910 fish houses anchored the southwest side of Rockport harbor. Numerous fishing boats moored along the harbor wharves.

Rockport Marine Biology Laboratory

The Rockport Marine Laboratory begin in 1935 aboard the houseboat Vivian. In 1947, a prominent building was constructed on the southeast side of the harbor to house the Marine Lab and an aquarium.
