And don't worry if you've never fished before – we're here to help. By the end of the trip, you'll be tossing lures like a pro. Well, almost.
Corpus Christi's waters are teeming with some real beauties. Let's break down what you might find on the end of your line:
Southern Flounder: These flat fish are masters of disguise, blending right into the sandy bottom. They're a challenge to spot but a treat to catch. Spring and fall are prime times for flounder, and they make for some mighty fine eating if you're lucky enough to land one.
Black Drum: These guys are the powerhouses of the bay. They can grow up to 30 pounds or more, so hang on tight! Black drum love to hang out near structures and put up a great fight. You'll find them year-round, but they really get active in the cooler months.
Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these are the Brad Pitts of our local waters – good-looking and popular. They're quick, they're crafty, and they're a blast to catch. Summer's when they really come out to play, especially around grass flats and channels.
Redfish: Now we're talking Texas fishing royalty. Redfish, or red drum, are what bring a lot of folks out here. They've got that signature spot on their tail and boy, can they pull! Fall is red drum season, but you can find them all year round if you know where to look.
Listen, I could go on all day about why fishing in Corpus Christi is the bee's knees, but here's the straight scoop: it's not just about the fish. It's about the laughs when someone gets a bite and starts yelling. It's about the high-fives when you land a big one. It's about teaching your kid to bait a hook and seeing their face light up when they feel that first tug on the line. That's the good stuff, the memories that stick with you long after you're back on dry land.

Black drum are the heavyweight cousins of redfish, packing a serious punch when hooked. You'll find them hanging around oyster reefs and mudflats in 3-5 feet of water. Most run 5-30 pounds, but 50+ pounders show up regularly. Spring is prime time as they school up to spawn. Drum put up a great fight, using their size and powerful tail to test your gear. The smaller ones under 15 pounds are excellent eating too - firm, white meat with a mild flavor. For bait, fresh peeled shrimp or crab chunks are hard to beat. Fish them on the bottom with a circle hook. When you feel that telltale thump, reel down and lean into it - you're in for a battle!
Redfish are the rock stars of our flats, with that distinctive spot near the tail and copper-red color. Most run 20-27 inches, perfect for the dinner table, but bull reds over 40 inches cruise the surf. You'll find them tailing in inches of water on grass flats or hanging near oyster bars. Fall is prime time as they school up, but they're around all year. Reds are known for powerful runs and dogged fights - they'll test your drag for sure. They're also excellent eating, with a sweet, mild flavor. For artificials, gold spoons are hard to beat. When sight-casting, I like to use scented soft plastics - let it sit still, then twitch it when a red gets close. Watching that fish pounce is what it's all about!
Speckled trout, or "specks" as we call 'em, are one of our most popular inshore game fish. They typically run 14-20 inches but can top 30 inches in rare cases. Look for them around grass flats, oyster reefs, and creek mouths in 2-6 feet of water. Fall and spring are peak seasons as water temps are ideal. Specks are known for their soft mouths and acrobatic fights - light tackle is a blast. They're also excellent table fare with a delicate, flaky texture. Live shrimp under a popping cork is deadly, but artificial lures like soft plastics work great too. My local tip: fish topwater plugs at first light for explosive strikes. There's nothing like seeing a big trout blow up on your lure!
Southern flounder are masters of camouflage, blending perfectly with sandy or muddy bottoms in our shallow bays and estuaries. Most run 15-18 inches, but trophy fish over 5 pounds aren't uncommon. Look for them near structure in depths of 1-15 feet. Fall is prime time as they migrate to spawn offshore. Flounder are known for their light, flaky meat - some of the best eating fish around. They can be tricky to hook, often just mouthing the bait. My go-to rig is a Carolina setup with a live mullet or bull minnow. Let it sit still on the bottom, then set the hook as soon as you feel weight. Patience is key with these sneaky flatfish, but landing a big doormat is always a thrill.
