Whether you enjoy lake fishing, river trout fishing, or deep sea fishing, Texas has some pretty amazing fishing towns. Here are some of the best Texas fishing towns to catch the big one:

- Port Aransas: This beautiful beach town has 18 miles of coastline, which makes for a lot of prime fishing real estate. Maybe that's why it is known as the Fishing Capital of Texas. With numerous public piers to cast out your line and a bounty of hungry fish eager to take your bait, Port Aransas is a fishing town in Texas worth traveling to.
- Port Isabel: This fishing town of only about 5,000 residents has a secret. Well, not so secret, but it has the longest fishing pier in the state. The pier is so big it even has its own tackle and bait shop where you can rent gear and stock up on the hottest bait. Of course, the big fish are out at sea, so booking a charter boat to take you to the best spots is a good idea if you want some help hunting down the big ones.
- Centerville, TX: Tucked away in Centerville you'll find Fort Boggy State Park and a small 15-acre reservoir that has some of the best fishing in the area. Whether you fish from the shore or head out in your fishing kayak, you'll be pulling in rainbow trout, channel catfish, and largemouth bass by the bucket full.
