Redfish Lodge has been such an icon to Rockport. Harvey took the building but never it’s spirit. Redfish Lodge has been rebuilt and brings back the magic! Fish, Fun, Relax, and enjoy the memories that await!

Redfish Lodge is an awesome experience. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Everything for the 2.5 day trip is thought out and executed well. We've been coming back for over 10 years and plan to continue the tradition. Definitely worth checking out if you want an awesome fishing trip with great food and all accommodations planned out for you.
