Hot summer bite from bays to the rigs!
Anglers fishing in and around Corpus Christi are enjoying classic summer conditions with warm water temps and active fish across the board. Inshore, redfish and speckled trout are the top targets. Early mornings on the flats of Nueces Bay and Laguna Madre are producing steady action on topwaters and soft plastics, especially around grass lines and potholes. Live shrimp under a popping cork is also a solid bet if you're fishing with kids or prefer a more relaxed approach. Flounder are showing up along channel edges and sandy drop-offs, especially near the Packery Channel and the mouth of Oso Bay. Gulp! baits bounced along the bottom have been producing well. Black drum are also cruising the flats and biting on dead shrimp and cut bait. For those looking to fish the surf, whiting, pompano, and occasional jack crevalle are making appearances during calm surf days—best near sunrise or sunset. Offshore reports are heating up too. Boats heading out to the rigs and deeper structure are hooking into kingfish, amberjack, and solid numbers of red snapper, which are still in season. Some mahi and wahoo are being caught by those willing to run further out. The weather has been cooperating, so now’s a great time to book a trip before things heat up even more. Tight lines!

Corpus Christi Flats: Non-Stop Spotted trout Action with FishSwirl
Non-stop bites all day long! Summer fishing in Corpus Christi is hard to beat, and our recent trip with Kyle and their crew proved just that. We set out from Marker 37 Marina in the early morning, greeted by partly cloudy skies. The forecast mentioned a chance of strong storms later, but we were ready to make the most of our time on the water with FishSwirl. With our gear rigged and ready, we hit the flats for some exciting action. Our main targets were Spotted Weakfish, and we employed a variety of techniques to entice them. Sight casting was particularly effective in the clear shallows, allowing us to precisely present our lures to visible fish. We also had success using popping corks, which created irresistible surface commotion. As we drifted across productive areas, we kept our lines in the strike zone, picking up bites along the way. The Spotted Weakfish were cooperative, providing consistent action throughout our 4-hour bay fishing trip. While we didn't measure any monsters, the steady catch kept rods bent and smiles wide. We wrapped up with a great haul and plenty of fish stories to share. If you're looking to experience the thrill of Corpus Christi bay fishing, FishSwirl has you covered with our 4 Hour Bay Fishing Trip. Whether you're an experienced angler or new to the sport, our flats fishing adventures offer something for everyone. We specialize in targeting species like Spotted Weakfish using techniques tailored to our local waters. From sight casting in skinny water to working popping corks over grass beds, we'll show you the most effective methods for success on the Texas coast. Our trips depart from Marker 37 Marina, providing easy access to some of the best fishing grounds in the Coastal Bend. Summer is prime time for action, but we fish year-round, adapting our strategies to seasonal patterns. Don't miss out on the chance to bend a rod and fill the cooler with us. Book your Corpus Christi fishing charter today and let FishSwirl guide you to the hotspots where the fish are biting. Whether you're after a relaxing day on the water or a fast-paced fishing adventure, we've got the local knowledge and experience to make it happen. Grab your sunscreen, hat, and fishing license – we'll take care of the rest!

Captain Kevin did an amazing job! He was always there to help with baiting our lines, offering water, and ensuring we had a memorable trip. I highly recommend him to everyone!

Captain Kevin was exceptional! Despite challenging weather, he went above and beyond to ensure we got on the fish!
July 18, 2025
Captain Kevin worked tirelessly to find fish, but they were scattered, so we ended up with a catch in the teens, including 4 keeper specs. Our two young anglers, aged 8 and 10, had an amazing time on their first guided fishing trip and are now officially hooked! Thank you, Captain Kevin!

Always a great time. I have been out with Kevin several times. We always catch fish, and Kevin always ensures we have a good time. He is very conscientious to the needs of all of us, weather experienced or beginner fisherman.
