trip description for Port A Offshore Super Slam in Port Aransas

If a line-peeling, drag-screaming offshore trip is what you're after, you're in the right place! Captain Scott is a pro when it comes to offshore fishing in Port Aransas, Texas, and he loves to show clients what's out there in the deep blue. On an offshore charter with Captain Scott, you'll hunt down a variety of sportfish species, including Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo—all terrific fighting fish that are great to eat as well. Because these fish love to hit fast-moving lures and bait, you'll focus on trolling at different depths in order to attract bites. When a big Mahi or Wahoo takes the hook, strap in for a fight! These are lightning-fast pelagic fish that do not want to get caught, and getting one over the rail is a challenge. You'll fight the fish from Captain Scott's 42' Hatteras sportfisher, a perfect vessel for offshore fishing. She features a comfortable cabin when you want to get out of the sun, plus a big deck with tons of room for reeling in a trophy! Captain Scott will provide everything you need for an epic trip, including rods, reels, baits, and tackle. We recommend that you bring proper clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and a cooler with some snacks and drinks. Get out there and hook a personal best! Read More

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

What is mahi mahi fishing in Corpus Christi all about?

Mahi mahi, also known as dorado or dolphin fish, are a prized species among anglers in Corpus Christi for their vibrant colors, acrobatic displays, and delicious taste. These pelagic fish are commonly found offshore in warm waters, making Corpus Christi an ideal location for targeting them. During the summer months, from May through September, mahi mahi migrate into the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where they are often found around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures.

Anglers in Corpus Christi employ a variety of techniques to target mahi mahi, including trolling, casting, and live bait fishing. Trolling is a popular method, with anglers trailing a spread of rigged baits or artificial lures behind the boat to entice strikes from mahi mahi. Anglers often target areas with floating debris, such as logs, seaweed, or patches of sargassum, where mahi mahi are known to congregate in search of food and shelter.

Another effective technique for targeting mahi mahi in Corpus Christi is casting or pitching baits or lures around floating debris or weed lines. Mahi mahi are known to be aggressive feeders and will readily strike a well-presented bait or lure. Anglers can use a variety of artificial lures, such as plugs, spoons, or soft plastic baits, as well as live baitfish or squid. With its abundance of offshore waters and productive fishing grounds, Corpus Christi offers anglers the opportunity for exciting and rewarding mahi mahi fishing experiences.

What are the most popular months to fish for mahi mahi in Corpus Christi?

In Corpus Christi, the seasons for mahi mahi fishing typically coincide with warmer months when these pelagic fish migrate into the Gulf of Mexico's offshore waters. The prime season for targeting mahi mahi in Corpus Christi generally spans from late spring through early fall, particularly from May to September. During this period, water temperatures rise, and mahi mahi migrate closer to the coast, following schools of baitfish and seeking out warmer waters.

During the summer months, from June to August, mahi mahi fishing in Corpus Christi reaches its peak. This is when these colorful fish are most abundant in the offshore waters, particularly around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures. Anglers can expect to encounter schools of mahi mahi while trolling, casting, or live bait fishing in areas where these fish are known to congregate, providing ample opportunities for exciting catches and memorable fishing experiences.

As the fall season approaches, mahi mahi begin to migrate away from the Gulf of Mexico's waters, heading towards warmer climates. While mahi mahi can still be found offshore in Corpus Christi during the early fall months, their numbers may begin to dwindle as water temperatures cool. However, anglers can still encounter mahi mahi in the offshore waters of Corpus Christi until around September, providing opportunities for late-season fishing adventures before the fish move on to other regions. Overall, the mahi mahi season in Corpus Christi offers anglers a window of opportunity to target these prized fish during the warmer months when they are most abundant in the area's offshore waters.

What techniques are popular for catching mahi mahi in Corpus Christi?

In Corpus Christi, anglers employ various fishing techniques to target mahi mahi, offering exciting opportunities for both novice and experienced fishermen alike. Trolling is a popular method for mahi mahi fishing in Corpus Christi, especially when targeting these pelagic fish offshore. Anglers typically troll a spread of rigged baits or artificial lures behind the boat while covering a wide area of water. Mahi mahi are attracted to movement and are often found around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures, making trolling an effective way to entice strikes from these fish.

Casting or pitching baits and lures around floating debris, weed lines, or offshore structures is another productive technique for targeting mahi mahi in Corpus Christi. Anglers can use a variety of artificial lures, such as plugs, spoons, or soft plastic baits, to mimic the movements of baitfish and attract the attention of mahi mahi. Live bait fishing is also effective, with anglers presenting live baitfish or squid around areas where mahi mahi are known to congregate. This technique can yield exciting strikes from mahi mahi and offers anglers the chance to experience the thrill of battling these acrobatic fish.

Additionally, sight fishing for mahi mahi is possible in Corpus Christi, particularly when fishing around weed lines, floating debris, or other surface structures where mahi mahi may be feeding. Anglers can use polarized sunglasses to spot mahi mahi cruising near the surface, then carefully present baits or lures to entice strikes. Sight fishing for mahi mahi requires keen observation and precise casting but can result in thrilling encounters and memorable catches. With its diverse range of fishing techniques, Corpus Christi provides anglers with ample opportunities to target mahi mahi and enjoy the excitement of offshore fishing adventures.

What other species are popular in Corpus Christi?

Aside from mahi mahi, Corpus Christi offers a diverse range of species for anglers to target, providing opportunities for exciting fishing experiences throughout the year. One popular species among anglers is redfish, also known as red drum, which can be found in the area's bays, flats, and marshes. These hard-fighting fish are known for their aggressive strikes and are often targeted using a variety of techniques such as sight casting with artificial lures or live bait fishing around structure.

Another sought-after species in Corpus Christi is speckled trout, which inhabit the shallow waters of bays, estuaries, and grass flats. Speckled trout are known for their beautiful colors and tasty flesh, making them a favorite among anglers. Fishing for speckled trout can be productive year-round, with anglers using techniques such as drift fishing with live bait or casting artificial lures along grassy shorelines and oyster beds.

In addition to redfish and speckled trout, anglers in Corpus Christi can target a variety of offshore species such as kingfish, tuna, and snapper. Kingfish, also known as king mackerel, are prized for their speed and fighting ability and can be caught using trolling or live bait fishing techniques offshore. Tuna species such as blackfin tuna are also abundant in the Gulf of Mexico waters off Corpus Christi and provide thrilling fishing opportunities for anglers targeting larger pelagic species. Additionally, bottom fishing for snapper species such as red snapper and vermilion snapper can be productive offshore, offering anglers the chance to reel in delicious table fare. With its rich diversity of fish species and productive fishing grounds, Corpus Christi provides anglers with plenty of options for memorable fishing adventures.

    First off Danny communicated well about where to be and what time the day before our excursion. Once we got started it was clear that he was very knowledgeable and knew where to go to maximize our fishing efforts. Him and his deck hand made sure that our family of 4 always had a baited pole in our hands and were ready to grab any fish that we caught! We would absolutely go fishing with Danny again!

    We did not have a good experience. The seas were very rough, we got sea sick, completely drenched and my husband fell out of his wheelchair when the boat hit a big wave at about mile 13 or 14. He was stayed seated on the floor of the boat as we attempted to continue out. After about 1.5 hours, we were less than 20 miles out, we decided to ask the captain to turn around.
