Hot bite and happy crew! I kicked off a fantastic summer morning with Ross and their crew for our 3/4 Day Fishing Adventure out of Corpus Christi. We set out from Clem's Marina just as the sun was peeking over the horizon, greeted by partly cloudy skies that promised a perfect day on the water. The early start gave us the advantage of hitting the prime fishing spots before they got too busy. It's always a treat to introduce folks to the rich fishing grounds we have here in Corpus Christi, and today was no exception with McCain's Shallow Water Experience. With our gear rigged and ready, we focused on some tried-and-true inshore fishing techniques. We mixed it up between live bait fishing, sight casting, and using popping corks to cover all our bases. The partly cloudy conditions actually worked in our favor, providing just enough cover to keep the fish active without completely hiding them from view. While we didn't land any trophies on this run, every cast and minute on the water was worth it. The crew stayed engaged and upbeat throughout the trip, soaking in the experience and honing their skills with each cast. Corpus Christi's inshore waters never disappoint when it comes to providing a great day out. Even when the fish aren't jumping into the boat, there's always something to learn and enjoy. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having spent a solid six hours exploring some of the best spots the area has to offer. It's days like these that remind me why I love guiding – it's not just about the catch, but the whole experience of being out on these beautiful waters.
