David Sanchez Jr
DSJ Fishing Charters offers private, family-friendly inshore fishing trips across the scenic bays and flats of Corpus Christi, Texas. Captain David Sanchez Jr grew up on these waters, and today he shares his passion for fishing by helping guests connect with the coastline, the fishery, and the experience of a great day on the water. For him, the joy comes from seeing guests light up with their first hook-up or landing a solid Redfish. The money is secondary—the excitement and memories are what matter most.
Trips range from 4 to 8 hours and are tailored around seasonal opportunities for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Flounder, and Sheepshead. Light tackle is the preferred style here, combined with techniques such as drifting, bottom fishing, and throwing popping corks across the flats. The local waters are diverse and productive, giving anglers a chance to sample different environments in a single outing. That variety is part of what makes Corpus Christi special, and why guests return year after year during peak seasons.
Your fishing adventure takes place aboard a 24’ Mamba bay boat designed for shallow, technical fishing. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 4 anglers and is equipped with a wireless trolling motor, livewell, and quality rods and reels. All bait and tackle are included so guests can focus on fishing rather than gear. At the end of the trip, the captain will clean and fillet your catch for the ride home. Just make sure to bring a valid Texas fishing license before departure.
Families, first-timers, and experienced anglers are all welcome aboard. Kids love these waters and often walk away with a story they can’t wait to share. For non-anglers or mixed groups, DSJ also offers scenic sunset, dolphin, and eco tours—perfect for guests who want to enjoy the bays without a rod in hand.
Fishing is strong March through October, but DSJ runs trips year-round and appreciates guests who book during the quieter winter period from November through February. These cooler months offer relaxed crowds and surprisingly consistent action for anglers willing to try something different.
Whether you’re looking for your first Redfish or a private day on the flats with your family, DSJ Fishing Charters delivers an authentic Corpus Christi fishing experience focused on fun, comfort, and the simple love of being on the water.
