Expert Guided Corpus Christi Fishing Charters

Reel in Redfish and Trout on Corpus Christi Bay

Looking to wet a line in some of the best inshore fishing waters Texas has to offer? Our half-day guided trips out of Corpus Christi deliver non-stop action targeting prized species like redfish, speckled trout, black drum and more. With room for up to 4 anglers, we'll get you on the fish using light tackle and live bait in the productive shallows and grass flats of Corpus Christi Bay. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, our expert guides know these waters like the back of their hand and will put you in prime position to land that trophy catch.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll meet up bright and early at the marina where you'll hop aboard our fully-equipped bay boat. After a quick run to our first fishing spot, we'll get lines in the water using live shrimp, croaker, or artificial lures depending on what's biting. Expect a mix of drift fishing and anchoring up on productive areas as we target the grass flats, oyster reefs, and channels that hold fish. Your guide will be right there to offer tips on technique, help net fish, and make sure everyone's having a blast. With a 4 person max, there's plenty of elbow room for casting. We provide all the rods, reels, tackle and bait - just bring some snacks, drinks, and be ready to reel 'em in!

Top Catches This Season

Corpus Christi Bay is legendary for its redfish and speckled trout fishing, but that's just the start. We've been putting clients on solid catches of black drum, flounder, and sheepshead too. Fall and winter are prime for big bull reds cruising the shallows - nothing gets the heart pumping like seeing that copper flash and feeling the rod double over. Spring and summer, we key in on schools of speckled trout popping shrimp on the surface. Your guide knows all the honey holes, whether it's drifting grass lines for trout or soaking crab chunks by an oyster reef for black drum. We'll mix up tactics to keep the rods bent all morning long.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"What a great day on the water. Jason knows the area and how to catch fish. Had a great time catching several spotted trout and redfish. Jason is professional and very helpful. My son had a blast. I'd highly recommend going out with Jason for any group, no matter the age." - Terry

"This was the most fun we've ever had fishing! Jason communicated very well, and answered any questions I had before the trip. Finding our meeting location was not hard at all. Jason was very knowledgeable and very nice. All four of us caught multiple fish. We can't wait to come out and book again with him. I recommend booking with Jason if you're wanting to have fun and catch fish." - Lauren

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: The crown jewel of Texas inshore fishing, redfish (or red drum) are hard-fighting gamefish that'll test your tackle and your patience. These copper-colored bruisers cruise the shallows in search of crabs, shrimp, and baitfish. We target them year-round, but fall is prime time when big bulls move into the bays. Expect redfish in the 20-30 inch range, with bigger specimens always a possibility. There's nothing like watching a tailing red track down your bait in skinny water!

Speckled Trout: Also known as spotted seatrout, these prized gamefish are a staple of Corpus Christi Bay fishing. We catch them on a variety of baits, from live shrimp under a popping cork to topwater lures at dawn. Specks are known for their soft mouths, so a gentle hookset is key. Spring and summer are peak seasons when big gator trout move into the shallows to spawn. Most fish run 15-20 inches, but citation trout over 25 inches are always possible.

Black Drum: Often overlooked by anglers chasing redfish and trout, black drum offer steady action and great table fare. These bottom-feeders use their chin barbels to root out crabs and shrimp from the bay floor. We catch them year-round, but winter is prime time for big schools. While most run 2-10 pounds, trophy "big uglies" over 30 pounds are not uncommon. Fresh crab or shrimp on a bottom rig is the ticket.

Southern Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with sandy or muddy bottoms. We target them around drop-offs, channels, and marsh drains, especially during their fall run to the Gulf. Flounder have a unique sideways strike, so a slow retrieve and patience are key. While most run 1-3 pounds, doormat-sized fish over 5 pounds are caught each year. They're also one of the tastiest fish in the bay!

Sheepshead: With their distinctive black and white stripes and impressive dental work, sheepshead are a unique catch. These structure-loving fish are often found around pilings, jetties, and oyster reefs. We catch them on live or dead shrimp, fiddler crabs, or even barnacles. They're notorious bait stealers, so a quick hookset is crucial. Most run 2-4 pounds, but larger fish up to 10 pounds are not unheard of. They make excellent table fare too!
