The most commonly sought after species in Corpus Christi are: 1. redfish, 2. speckled trout, 3. black drum, 4. flounder, and 5. sheepshead.

The most common fishing techniques in Corpus Christi are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing but bottom fishing and drift fishing are popular as well.

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.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, youโ€™ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if youโ€™ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

Corpus Christi Fishing Charters Overview

Corpus Christi fishing charters offer a diverse range of fishing experiences for anglers of all levels. Inshore fishing targets Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder, with live bait or lures as options. Nearshore fishing offers bottom fishing for Red Snapper and Cobia, while offshore fishing provides the ultimate challenge with Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Billfish. Inshore charters are family-friendly, with calm waters and short trips, while offshore charters are designed for experienced anglers and require a minimum of eight hours. Charters typically depart from Clem's Marina and Marker 37 Marina on Padre Island, but smaller boats may be flexible with launch locations. Fishing licenses are mandatory for all anglers aged 17 or older, and a separate Red Drum tag is required to keep a trophy Redfish. Red Snapper can only be kept offshore in June and July, but can be caught year-round in state waters.

Corpus Christi Inshore Fishing Charters

It doesn't take a professional to recognize the endless Corpus Christi fishing spots, just take a look at a map! The surrounding bays, channels, backwaters, and flats provide Corpus fishing anglers with all the fishing they can handle on Corpus Christi guided fishing trips. Inshore groups can spend the day out on famous Corpus Christi Bay fishing charters, or they can head southbound to fish Padre Island National Seashore and the legendary Baffin Bay.

These world-class waters are easily accessible on half-day fishing trips out of Corpus Christi.

Corpus Christi Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Corpus Christi offshore fishing charters offer offshore and nearshore fishing trips for a solid variety of sport fish. Rod-bending species like Red Snapper and Goliath Grouper hang out near offshore structures that you can fish year-round when deep sea fishing Corpus Christi.

For longer trips out to oil rigs or the continental shelf, trophy Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna dominate the summer months. A billfish or two is never out of the question with our Corpus Christi offshore fishing charters on a hot summer day. As the weather cools off in late fall, Wahoo, or "Texas Torpedo" can be found in abundance.

    We had a great trip with Corey. In spite of strong winds forcing us to less productive areas, we caught 6 assorted keepers - including a couple of 25" reds - and released a bunch more. Corey was very friendly and accommodating, and his boat was very comfortable and well equipped.

    I recently had the pleasure of hunting with Captain Kyle, and I couldnโ€™t be more impressed with the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, Captain Kyle was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about duck hunting. The setup was perfect, and he took care to make sure we were comfortable and prepared before heading out. Captain Kyle had an impressive understanding of the area, knowing exactly where to find ducks and when to call. To top it off, Captain Kyle was friendly and easygoing, making for great conversation and a genuinely enjoyable experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Captain Kyle to anyone looking for an outstanding guided duck hunt.
