Premier Baffin Bay Fishing with Local Experts

Reel in Redfish on a Corpus Christi Charter

Hey there, anglers! Ready to hit the flats of Baffin Bay for some world-class inshore action? Captain Roger Perez here, and I'm itching to get you on the water for a full day of chasing reds, blacks, trout, and flounder. This ain't your average fishing trip – we're talking 7 hours of non-stop casting, drifting, and hopefully plenty of catching in one of South Texas' hottest fishing spots. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, I've got you covered with all the gear and know-how to make this a day on the water you won't soon forget.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll kick things off bright and early, meeting up at the dock where my fully-rigged skiff will be waiting. After a quick safety rundown, we'll zip out to the prime fishing grounds of Baffin Bay. This place is a true inshore gem, with miles of shallow flats, grass beds, and oyster reefs that fish just love to hang around. I'll get us set up with some tried-and-true techniques – we might start off drifting and casting soft plastics for trout, then switch to sight-casting for tailing reds in the shallows. As the day heats up, we might cool off by bottom fishing deeper holes for big black drum. The beauty of a private charter is we can change it up based on what's biting and what you're in the mood for.

Fishing Know-How & Gear Talk

Don't sweat it if you're new to inshore fishing – I'll walk you through everything you need to know. We'll be using light to medium tackle, perfect for battling these inshore bruisers without wearing yourself out. I'll show you how to work a popping cork for sea trout, the right retrieve for fooling a redfish, and how to finesse a soft plastic for those sneaky flounder. We'll mix it up between artificial lures and live bait, depending on what the fish are keyed in on that day. All the rods, reels, and tackle are top-notch and included, so you just need to bring your game face (and don't forget that fishing license – it's required).

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored beauties are the crown jewels of Texas inshore fishing. They love to cruise the shallows, often giving themselves away with their signature tail waving above the water. Reds put up a heck of a fight, making blistering runs and testing your drag. They're most active in the fall, but we catch 'em year-round here in Corpus. Nothing beats the thrill of sight-casting to a big red and watching it pounce on your lure.

Black Drum: Often overlooked, these cousins of the redfish can grow to monster sizes. We're talking potential 30-pounders that'll make your arms ache. They love hanging around structure and oyster beds, and they're suckers for a well-presented crab or shrimp bait. Spring is prime time for the big ones, but we catch quality drum all year. When a big black takes off, you'd better hold on tight!

Sea Trout: Also called speckled trout, these guys are the bread and butter of Texas inshore fishing. They're aggressive feeders and love to hit topwater lures, making for some exciting visual strikes. Trout fishing heats up in the summer, but we find good numbers in the cooler months too. A limit of keeper trout makes for some mighty fine eating, I'll tell you that.

Southern Flounder: These flatfish are the ninjas of the inshore world. They're masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. Flounder fishing requires finesse and patience, but when you hook into one, it's like reeling in a dinner plate. Fall is the prime time as they migrate to deeper waters, but we can target them year-round if you're up for the challenge.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been guiding these waters for years, and there's a reason folks keep booking trips with South Texas Outcast Guide Services. It's not just about the fish – though we do put clients on some real beauties. It's about the whole experience. The way the sun rises over the bay, painting the sky in colors you didn't even know existed. The thrill of watching a redfish tail in skinny water, knowing you've got a shot at a trophy. The camaraderie that comes from spending a day on the water, swapping stories and making memories. And let's not forget the pride of bringing home a cooler full of fresh fillets for the family fish fry. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to dial in your technique or a newbie wanting to learn the ropes, I promise you'll walk away with new skills, great stories, and hopefully a few "personal bests" under your belt.

Time to Book Your Spot

Alright, folks, if you're itching to get out on Baffin Bay and tangle with some of Texas' finest inshore species, don't wait around. The fish are biting, and the slots on my calendar are filling up fast.

All the gear is provided, so you just need to show up with your license, some snacks, and a good attitude.
