It's time to experience why Corpus Christi is a bucket-list destination for anglers in the know.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're gliding across glassy flats as the sun rises, rod in hand, ready for that first cast. Our 6-hour trip gives you plenty of time to work different spots and tactics. We'll hit the sweet spots where speckled trout hide in the grass or redfish cruise the shallows. Our guides are local experts who live and breathe these waters. They'll read the tides, spot the bait activity, and get you into position for that heart-pounding strike. And hey, with a max of two guests per trip, you're getting the VIP treatment – no fighting for elbow room here!

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On this trip, we're not just dunking bait and hoping for the best. We're talking serious inshore tactics that the pros use. Depending on conditions, we might start with topwater lures at dawn, mimicking those fleeing mullet that big trout can't resist. As the sun climbs, we'll switch it up – maybe some soft plastics worked along drop-offs or sight-casting to tailing reds in skinny water. Our guides will show you the ropes if you're new to these techniques, or swap advanced tips if you're a seasoned angler. We've got top-notch gear on board, but feel free to bring your favorite rod if you've got a lucky streak going.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Black Drum: These bruisers are the unsung heroes of Texas inshore fishing. They might not jump like a trout, but man, can they pull! We target these guys year-round, but they really start schooling up in late winter and early spring. Look for that telltale "thumping" sound they make – it's like nature's own fish finder. Black drum love crustaceans, so we'll rig up with fresh crab or shrimp to tempt them. The fight is all about power, so hang on tight when a big one takes the bait!

Summer Flounder: Also known as "doormats" for good reason, these flatfish are masters of camouflage. We find them hanging out on sandy bottoms, often near structure. The bite can be subtle, so stay alert! Late spring through early fall is prime time for flounder. We'll use live bait or soft plastics, working them slowly along the bottom. When you feel that distinctive "thump," it's game on! Flounder make for some fantastic eating, so be sure to keep a few for the dinner table (within regulations, of course).

Sea Trout: Ah, the speckled trout – the glamour fish of the Texas coast. These silver beauties with their spotted sides are a blast to catch on light tackle. We target them year-round, but the big "gator" trout often show up in cooler months. Sea trout are ambush predators, so we'll focus on grass beds, drop-offs, and current seams. Topwater lures at dawn can produce explosive strikes that'll get your heart racing. As the day warms up, we might switch to soft plastics or live bait under a popping cork. The fight is all about head shakes and runs, so keep that rod tip up!

Redfish: The bulldogs of the flats, redfish (or red drum) are what Corpus Christi is famous for. These copper-colored beauties with their distinctive spot near the tail are a sight to behold. We find them year-round, but fall is prime time when big schools invade the shallows. Sight-casting to tailing reds is the ultimate rush – you'll see that big tail waving in the air as they root for crabs. We might use artificial lures or natural bait, depending on what they're hungry for. When a big red takes off on a screaming run, you'll know why anglers come from all over to tangle with these brutes.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, we could talk all day about the fish, but it's more than that. It's about that moment when the sun's just peeking over the horizon, painting the sky in crazy colors. It's the osprey diving for its breakfast while you're reeling in yours. It's the satisfaction of outsmarting a crafty old trout or the adrenaline rush when a monster red nearly spools you. Our repeat customers? They come back for the whole package. The laughs shared on the boat, the stories swapped, and yeah – the bragging rights that come with landing a true Texas trophy.
