What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard one of our boats, you're in for a treat. We'll cruise out into the rich coastal waters of Corpus Christi, where the fish are plentiful and the views are something else. Our captains aren't just experienced – they're like fish whisperers. They'll get you set up with quality rods, reels, and bait, then put you right where the action is.

Just remember to bring your Texas fishing license, and we'll take care of the rest.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

Inshore fishing in Corpus Christi is all about versatility. We might start off sight-casting for tailing reds in skinny water, using light tackle that'll give you a real run for your money when a big one hits. If the trout are schooling, we'll switch gears and try some drift fishing, letting the wind push us over productive zones while we work soft plastics or live bait. For those stubborn black drum and sheepshead, we might anchor up near structure and use some good old-fashioned bottom fishing techniques. Our guides are always reading the water, adjusting tactics on the fly to make sure you're getting the most bites possible. It's this kind of adaptability that turns a good day of fishing into a great one.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish are the rock stars of Texas inshore fishing, and for good reason. These copper-colored beauties are known for their hard-fighting nature and that distinctive black spot on their tail. They love to cruise the shallows, often revealing their location with their tails sticking out of the water as they root for crabs and shrimp. Fall is prime time for reds, but you can catch them year-round in Corpus Christi. When a big one takes your bait, hold on tight – they've been known to strip line and test even the most seasoned anglers.

Black drum might not be the prettiest fish in the sea, but what they lack in looks, they make up for in fight. These bulldogs of the bay can grow to impressive sizes, with some monsters topping 30 pounds. They're bottom feeders, so we'll often use natural baits like shrimp or crab to entice them. Winter and early spring are fantastic times to target big black drum as they gather to spawn. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the thump-thump-thump of a big drum on the line.

Sheepshead are the tricksters of the inshore world. With their human-like teeth and zebra stripes, they're certainly unique looking. These structure-loving fish are experts at stealing bait, so hooking one requires finesse and patience. But man, are they worth it. Not only do they put up a great fight, but they're also delicious on the dinner table. Spring is typically the best time to target sheepshead as they move inshore to spawn.

Sea trout, or speckled trout as we often call them, are the bread and butter of Corpus Christi inshore fishing. These spotted predators are abundant, aggressive, and a blast to catch on light tackle. They school up, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. Trout love to hang around grass flats and drop-offs, ambushing bait fish. Summer and fall are excellent seasons for trout, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. And trust me, our guides know where to look.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the fishing here in Corpus Christi, but nothing beats experiencing it for yourself.

The fish are biting, and your spot on the boat is waiting. Let's get out there and make some fishing memories!
