The Redfish Lodge Resort

A storied past, a bright future

For 25 years, the Redfish Lodge, located on a beautiful mile-long peninsula in Rockport-Fulton, Texas was the premier destination fishing resort on the Texas Gulf Coast. On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey devastated the facility, impacting loyal staff, corporate clients and fishing enthusiasts throughout Texas.

After three years of research and planning, the founders of Redfish Lodge Partners, LLC are committed to not only reviving the legacy but building a business that will be a blessing to the Rockport-Fulton economy, our staff, our patrons, as well as our investors. The new Redfish Lodge on Copano Bay promises to deliver incomparable experiences highlighted by outstanding fishing, exclusive corporate meeting facilities, incredible sunsets, and life-long memories.

The Redfish Lodge on Copano Bay, consisting of the main lodge, two adjoining guest houses and two VIP villas with a combined capacity of 78 guests, will be built at the 2.95-acre entrance to the 73-acre peninsula. It will include boat slips, lighted fishing pier, swimming pool, cabana, business center, dining and meeting rooms, bars, first-class chef’s kitchen, guest accommodations and the famous sunset views of Copano Bay

The Redfish Lodge: Keys To Success

ICF Construction

The infrastructure is being rebuilt, fortified, and modernized using Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) building technology. ICF construction is one of the most wind and water-resistant building methods. Incorporating it into the Redfish Lodge ensures that the structures can withstand the equivalent of any storm in Rockport’s history.

In October 2019, one of the most powerful hurricanes in recorded history slammed into the Florida panhandle. With winds in excess of 150 miles per hour, 54% of homes in the region were entirely destroyed and 23% were severely damaged. Damage was most severe in neighborhoods close to the shoreline. Yet, at ground zero, there was one home that survived the storm virtually unscathed. Most remarkably, it was built just a few hundred feet from the water’s edge, where the wind and storm surge were most ferocious. While neighboring homes and structures were reduced to ruins, the home known as “Sand Palace” stood strong, a testament to the resilience of ICF construction.

Our construction team of Blanton Builders, RMA, Aran-Franklin Structural Engineering, and ICF Constructors has worked together for years on high end ICF projects around the State of Texas. We are confident in the abilities of ICF construction to protect the Redfish Lodge.
