I had the pleasure to fish with repeat customers from South Dakota for 2 days. The Ottenbacher's got to see first hand how fast fishing can change. On the 16th we didn't get too many keepers. We hardly had any wind and I know that was the reason. The next day was a different result.  We ended up catching a good box of fish and boy were they happy. I have the 26th and 27th open to finish up the month and March is filling up.  Lent started today and theres nothing like fresh fish! Call or message to get yours. 361-779-0608

Action-packed day from the get-go! Lisa and I headed out early morning for some fall inshore fishing around Corpus Christi under clear conditions throughout the day. Perfect weather made for ideal fishing conditions as we launched with Sea N Spots Guide Service for our Reel in the Fun: Choose Your Adventure with Our Corpus Christi Fishing Charters adventure.

Once the stage was set, we worked the flats using a mix of bottom fishing, casting with lures, and live bait fishing to target the speckled trout. Corpus Christi's shallow waters are perfect for this kind of versatile approach - y'all can switch between techniques as conditions change throughout the day. The clear skies kept us comfortable while we covered different spots. We wrapped up with some solid action and Lisa got to experience what makes this area so productive for inshore fishing!

If you're fixin' to get out on the water around Corpus Christi, our Private 4 to 7 Hour Fishing Charter Adventures give you plenty of time to work different techniques and areas. Whether you're looking to cast lures in the shallows or work live bait for speckled trout, these Corpus Christi waters deliver consistent action. I reckon the fall fishing has been real good lately, and with our flexible charter options, we can adjust the trip to match what's working best. The tug is the drug out here, and once you feel that first strike, you'll understand why folks keep coming back. Give me a holler at 361-779-0608 to book your Corpus Christi inshore fishing adventure with Sea N Spots Guide Service!
