Fishing in Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi sits on a big bay on the middle Texas coast, with Padre and Mustang Islands between it and the Gulf. Inshore fishing is the main event: miles of bays, flats and the northern end of the Laguna Madre are within a short drive or boat ride.
Bays and the Laguna Madre
Guides fish Corpus Christi Bay, Oso Bay, Baffin Bay and the upper Laguna Madre for redfish, speckled trout, black drum and flounder. Baffin Bay is famous for trophy-size trout, and wade fishing the flats is a local tradition.
Gulf access
Offshore trips leave through Packery Channel and nearby Port Aransas for red snapper, kingfish, ling (cobia) and amberjack, with longer runs to deep water for tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi.
Good to know
Every angler in Texas needs a fishing license with a saltwater endorsement. Bag and size limits for trout and redfish change from time to time — check current Texas Parks and Wildlife rules or ask your guide.
Best time to go
Spring and fall are the best seasons for redfish and trout in the bays; winter is prime time for big trout in Baffin Bay; summer brings calm water for early-morning wade fishing and offshore trips.
