Where do you buy a fishing licence?
No Fulton shop on this page sells licences. The nearest counters are Rockport Tackle Town, Salemi's Ace Hardware and the H-E-B in Rockport, and TPWD's own counter at Goose Island State Park just north; buying online from TPWD before you arrive is fastest. Every angler 17 or older needs a Texas fishing licence with the saltwater endorsement. TPWD licences

What time do bait shops open?
The harbor stands open at 5:30 a.m. and Beacon at 5 a.m. from Thursday to Sunday; Fulton Beach Marina's counter opens only on weekend mornings. The hours on each card are the shop's own published hours with the source named, and where a shop publishes none we say so rather than guess. Call before a dawn run.
