Corpus Christi Bay - Nueces, TX Fishing Report on 2nd Jul, 2025

Anglers fishing in and around Corpus Christi are enjoying classic summer conditions with warm water temps and active fish across the board. Inshore, redfish and speckled trout are the top targets. Early mornings on the flats of Nueces Bay and Laguna Madre are producing steady action on topwaters and soft plastics, especially around grass lines and potholes. Live shrimp under a popping cork is also a solid bet if you're fishing with kids or prefer a more relaxed approach.

Flounder are showing up along channel edges and sandy drop-offs, especially near the Packery Channel and the mouth of Oso Bay. Gulp! baits bounced along the bottom have been producing well. Black drum are also cruising the flats and biting on dead shrimp and cut bait. For those looking to fish the surf, whiting, pompano, and occasional jack crevalle are making appearances during calm surf days—best near sunrise or sunset.

Offshore reports are heating up too. Boats heading out to the rigs and deeper structure are hooking into kingfish, amberjack, and solid numbers of red snapper, which are still in season. Some mahi and wahoo are being caught by those willing to run further out. The weather has been cooperating, so now’s a great time to book a trip before things heat up even more. Tight lines!
