Pro Inshore Charter: Corpus Christi Redfish & Trout
When you're ready to step up your inshore game, Captain Kevin's 7-hour professional charter delivers the kind of fishing that separates weekend warriors from serious anglers. This isn't your typical tourist trip – we're talking about a dedicated day on Corpus Christi's prime inshore waters, where redfish prowl the shallows and speckled trout stack up in the channels. With room for just two anglers, you'll get the personalized attention and advanced techniques that make all the difference when targeting trophy-class fish. Captain Kevin knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's not just showing you where to cast – he's teaching you how to read the water, understand the tides, and make the right moves when fish are being finicky.
What to Expect on the Water
This charter runs a full seven hours, giving you plenty of time to work different spots and adapt to whatever conditions Mother Nature throws your way. Captain Kevin's approach is all about mobility – if the bite slows down in one area, you're moving to the next productive zone. The boat is rigged with professional-grade electronics and all the tackle you need, but feel free to bring your own rods if you've got favorites. We'll be targeting the classic Corpus Christi slam: redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and black drum. Depending on the season and conditions, you might find yourself sight-casting to tailing reds in knee-deep water, or working soft plastics along drop-offs where big trout like to ambush baitfish. The beauty of a private charter is the flexibility – if you want to spend extra time perfecting your topwater technique or learning to work a deeper structure, that's exactly what we'll do.
Advanced Techniques & Tactics
Captain Kevin specializes in teaching the nuanced techniques that separate good catches from great ones. You'll learn to match your presentation to the conditions – whether that means switching from paddle tails to topwater when the fish are aggressive, or downsizing to finesse presentations when they're being selective. The boat carries a full arsenal of lures and live bait options, and Kevin will walk you through the why behind each choice. Expect to work everything from shallow grass flats where redfish cruise for crabs, to deeper bayou channels where trout suspend near structure. The key is understanding how these fish behave throughout the tide cycle, and Kevin's decades of experience on these waters means you'll pick up tricks that would take years to figure out on your own. We'll also cover reading water conditions, understanding how wind affects fish positioning, and recognizing subtle signs that often get overlooked but can make or break your success rate.

Species You'll Want to Hook
Redfish are the crown jewel of Corpus Christi inshore fishing, and for good reason. These copper-colored bruisers average 20-30 inches but can push well into the upper slot or beyond. They're most active during moving tides, especially early morning and late afternoon when they push into the shallows to feed. What makes reds so addictive is their aggressive strikes and bulldogging fights – once hooked, they'll make powerful runs and use their broad shoulders to test your drag system. The best part about Corpus Christi reds is their year-round availability, though fall months often produce the most consistent action as they school up for their spawn.
Speckled trout might be the most technical fish we target, requiring finesse and patience that rewards skilled anglers. These beautiful fish with their distinctive black spots typically run 15-20 inches, with trophy specimens pushing 25 inches or better. They're most active during cooler months from October through March, when they stack up in deeper holes and along channel edges. Trout are structure-oriented fish that love shell reefs, drop-offs, and areas with good current flow. Their bite can be subtle – often just a slight tick or weight change – making them perfect for anglers who want to sharpen their sensitivity and hook-setting skills.
Southern flounder are the ultimate ambush predators, lying camouflaged on sandy bottoms waiting for unsuspecting prey to swim by. These flatfish can grow surprisingly large, with keeper-sized fish starting at 15 inches and giants reaching 20-plus inches. They're most active during their fall migration from September through November, when they move from shallow bays toward deeper gulf waters. Flounder fishing requires a different approach – slow, methodical presentations that keep your bait near the bottom where these fish do their hunting. The reward is some of the best eating fish in the bay, with firm white meat that's perfect for the dinner table.
Black drum are the heavyweights of the inshore scene, with adult fish commonly reaching 20-40 pounds or more. These powerful fish
