Check back regularly for updates on water clarity, temperature shifts, and the most effective lures for the current week.

Trophy Fish Caught

The waters surrounding Corpus Christi are famous for producing massive specimens, and our recent trips have been no exception. We consistently target trophy fish like "bull" redfish and heavy speckled trout that thrive in the nutrient-rich Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi Bay. Recent highlights include oversized black drum and impressive flounder caught along the channel edges. While we often encounter various species—from hard-fighting jack crevalle to the occasional tropical fish wandering into our warmer coastal currents—our focus remains on the prized game fish that make South Texas a world-class angling destination.

Family-Friendly Fishing Adventures

At CL Guide Service, we believe the best memories are made together on the water. Our family-friendly fishing trips are specifically designed to be patient, engaging, and safe for all ages. Captain Gabe takes extra care to ensure that young anglers learn the basics of casting and reeling, making every trip a fun and easy-going experience. With all high-quality gear, life jackets, and safety measures provided, parents can relax while the kids enjoy the excitement of their first big catch. These adventures are less about the grind and more about the joy of being outdoors, ensuring a rewarding day for the whole family.

Fishing Year-Round in Corpus Christi

One of the greatest advantages of the Texas Coast is the ability to enjoy fishing year-round. While the species and techniques shift with the seasons, there is never a bad time to be on the water. In the winter and early spring, we find success with black drum and sheepshead around structure, while the warmer summer months bring aggressive topwater strikes from trout. The fall "run" remains a legendary time for redfish and flounder as they move through the passes. No matter the month, CL Guide Service offers reliable, expert-led trips that capitalize on whatever the South Texas ecosystem is currently offering.
