Expert-Guided Corpus Christi Inshore Fishing

Reel in the Big Ones: Corpus Christi Fishing

Ready to hit the water for some serious angling action? Our 7-hour private charter in Corpus Christi is your ticket to a day of non-stop fishing excitement. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro, we've got the spots, the gear, and the know-how to put you on the fish. We're talking about hooking into some of the Gulf Coast's most prized catches – Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum. Our top-rated guide knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a productive day on the bay.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising out on a spacious, well-equipped boat with plenty of room for you and up to four of your buddies. The sun's coming up, the water's calm, and you can almost feel the tug on your line already. Our seasoned captain's got a game plan, but we're flexible – if the fish aren't biting in one spot, we'll move to the next honey hole. We've got all the tackle you need, from light spinning gear for finesse fishing to heavier setups for when the big boys are hungry. And don't worry if you're new to this – we'll show you the ropes, from baiting up to setting the hook when that monster redfish hits.

Fishing Tactics That Fill the Cooler

In Corpus Christi, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves to make sure you're not going home empty-handed. Depending on the season and what's biting, we might start off drift fishing over some grass flats for trout, using live shrimp under a popping cork. If the reds are schooling, we'll switch to sight-casting with soft plastics or gold spoons. For those big, ugly drum, we'll drop some crab or cut bait near structure and hold on tight. And let's not forget about flounder – we'll work those ledges and drop-offs with a slow retrieve that these flatfish can't resist. It's all about reading the water, adjusting to conditions, and putting you where the fish are.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are the crown jewels of Texas inshore fishing. Known for their powerful runs and distinctive spot on the tail, redfish can range from puppy drum size to bull reds over 40 inches. They love to cruise the shallows, often revealing their location with their signature tail out of the water. Fall is prime time for reds, but you can catch them year-round in Corpus Christi. There's nothing quite like the thrill of watching a big red crush a topwater lure in inches of water.

Speckled Trout: Also known as spotted seatrout, these fish are a favorite among light tackle enthusiasts. They're known for their soft mouths and acrobatic fights, often throwing hooks with spectacular jumps. Trout fishing heats up in spring and fall, but you can find them year-round in Corpus Christi Bay. They're not just fun to catch – they're also delicious on the grill. We'll target them over grass flats and around structure, using everything from soft plastics to live bait.

Southern Flounder: The masters of camouflage, flounder are ambush predators that lie in wait for unsuspecting baitfish. They're most active during their fall run, when they move to the Gulf to spawn. That's when we can catch some real doormats. Flounder fishing requires finesse and patience, but the reward is a fish that's both challenging to catch and a treat on the table. We'll work the drop-offs and channel edges, using a slow retrieve that mimics an injured baitfish.

Black Drum: Often overlooked but never underestimated, black drum can grow to massive sizes. While the smaller ones (under 10 pounds) are great eating, the big ones provide an epic battle on the line. They love crustaceans, so we'll use crab or shrimp to entice them. Drum fishing is good year-round, but it really picks up in late winter and early spring when they gather to spawn. These fish might not be the prettiest, but they'll test your arm strength and provide some great stories.
