Pro Anglers Inshore Charter Corpus Christi
Captain Kevin's 7-hour private charter is built for serious anglers who want to push their skills to the next level. This isn't your typical tourist fishing trip โ we're talking about a full day targeting the best inshore species Corpus Christi has to offer: Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum. With Kevin's expertise and a boat equipped for up to 5 anglers, you'll have the space and gear needed to work these productive waters the right way. Whether you're perfecting your technique or adapting to changing conditions, this charter gives you the flexibility to move spots and chase the bite wherever it's happening.
What to Expect on the Water
You're looking at a legitimate 7-hour fishing experience with one of Corpus Christi's most knowledgeable guides. Captain Kevin knows these inshore waters like the back of his hand, and he's not afraid to move around to find where the fish are holding. The boat comes loaded with modern tackle and plenty of casting room, so you won't be bumping elbows while working your favorite lures. This charter is designed for anglers who appreciate the technical side of fishing โ reading water, understanding structure, and adapting your presentation based on what the fish are telling you. Kevin's approach is hands-on but respectful of your experience level. He'll share local knowledge about tides, structure, and seasonal patterns while giving you the freedom to work your own techniques. The flexibility to change spots throughout the day means you're always fishing productive water, whether that's shallow grass flats, deeper channels, or structure around the bay system.
Techniques & Tackle Setup
This charter focuses on the core techniques that produce consistent results in Corpus Christi's inshore waters. You'll be working everything from shallow water sight fishing to deeper structure fishing, depending on conditions and target species. The boat comes equipped with quality spinning and baitcasting gear, but experienced anglers often bring their own setups to match their preferred techniques. Artificial lures are the primary approach here โ think soft plastics on jig heads, topwater plugs, and spoons worked around grass beds and drop-offs. Kevin's tackle selection includes proven local patterns and colors that match the forage base in these waters. He'll adjust leader material and hook sizes based on what species you're targeting and the structure you're fishing. Live bait options are available when conditions call for it, particularly when targeting Black Drum around deeper structure. The key is reading the water and matching your presentation to what the fish want on any given day. Kevin excels at breaking down the subtle differences in technique that separate good days from great ones.

Species You'll Want to Hook
Redfish are the crown jewel of Corpus Christi inshore fishing, and for good reason. These copper-colored bruisers range from slot-sized fish around 18-27 inches up to bull reds that can push 40+ inches and seriously test your drag system. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall, but you'll find keeper reds year-round in these waters. They love shallow grass flats where they cruise looking for crabs and shrimp, making them perfect targets for sight fishing when conditions allow. What makes reds so special is their fighting ability โ they'll make long, powerful runs and use their broad sides to fight you in the current. The key is working soft plastics or spoons along the edges of grass beds and being ready when you see that telltale copper flash.
Sea Trout are the bread and butter species that keep anglers coming back to Corpus Christi's bay system. These spotted beauties typically run 14-20 inches, with larger specimens pushing 24+ inches during peak season from spring through early winter. Trout are structure-oriented fish that relate to grass beds, drop-offs, and shell reefs throughout the bay. They're aggressive feeders that respond well to both live bait and artificials, making them perfect for anglers who want consistent action. The fight isn't as dramatic as a redfish, but trout make up for it with their willingness to bite and excellent table fare. Look for them in 2-6 feet of water around dawn and dusk, though they'll feed throughout the day during cooler months.
Southern Flounder are the masters of camouflage in these waters, lying flat against sandy bottoms waiting to ambush unsuspecting prey. These flatfish typically range from 14-22 inches, with larger "doormat" flounder reaching 24+ inches and providing some serious bragging rights. Fall migration from September through November offers the best shot at trophy-sized fish as they move toward deeper water. Flounder fishing requires patience and technique โ they're ambush predators that prefer live or slow-moving baits bounced along the bottom. Popular spots include channel edges, boat cuts, and anywhere you find sand meeting structure. The bite is often subtle, so
