About Your Trip

Let Captain Mark be your guide to some of the top fishing on the Texas Gulf Coast! He has years of experience fishing this water, and knows all the best spots around Corpus Christi to find big ol' Redfish, Trout, and Flounder.

On this trip, you'll be fishing aboard his 22' Blue Wave bay boat, a fast boat powered by a 148-HP Evinrude engine. Depending on the area and the species, you'll use a combination of live bait and lures on light tackle to bring in the fish. Captain Mark is extremely knowledgeable and has tons of tips and tricks to help improve your presentation, perfect your technique, and ultimately bring in more trophy fish!

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, this trip will be a blast. It's also a great way to hook a "Texas Grand Slam" by catching a Redfish, a Trout, and a Flounder in one day! Get out there and see all the great fishing that Corpus Christi offers with Captain Mark.

Mark was very helpful and polite on the trip for our guests. We struck out on any keepers, but sometimes that’s just the way it is!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
