Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish thrive in Corpus Christi's shallow bays and flats, where they feed on crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish in water depths of 1-4 feet. These copper-colored drum are perfectly adapted to the grass beds and oyster reefs that define the local ecosystem. During cooler months, redfish school up in deeper channels, while warmer weather finds them scattered across the flats in smaller groups. Their distinctive spotted tails and bronze coloration make them one of the most recognizable inshore species, and their powerful runs test both tackle and angler skill in the shallow water environment.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
McCain's Shallow Water Experience charters launch from Corpus Christi area boat ramps with easy access to prime redfish habitat. The shallow water boat is specifically designed for navigating the flats and getting into areas where larger vessels cannot reach. Trips typically start early morning to take advantage of optimal feeding times and comfortable weather conditions. All necessary fishing equipment is provided, though anglers are welcome to bring their own gear if preferred. Sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and appropriate clothing for weather conditions are recommended.
