Corpus Christi Inshore Fishing: Clear Skies, Perfect Conditions
One for the books today! Summer fishing in Corpus Christi, TX brought us clear skies and perfect conditions for our 3/4 Day Fishing Adventure with McCain's Shallow Water Experience. I met up with Kaiden and their crew of three at Clem's Marina in the early morning hours, ready to hit the water and see what we could find.

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.

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.

The fishing excursion proved fantastic! We reached our limit on redfish and speckled trout. Ryan, our guide, is exceptional—highly knowledgeable and incredibly personable, fostering a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Had an awesome time out on the water with Capt Ryan! It wasn’t the easiest day for fishing, but Ryan worked hard to put us on the fish and it paid off. While we heard some other guides didn’t land any keepers, we ended the day with a cooler full! Great attitude, knowledgeable, and didn’t stop grinding until we were on them. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a captain who puts in the effort to make the trip a success!
July 25, 2025
This was BY FAR the best fishing experience I have ever had! Ive been fishing for over 40 years and have never caught so many fish on one trip! Ryan was knowledgable and very experienced, we did not just sit around and wait to get a bite, Ryan knew where to go to catch fish! At one point all 3 of us had a fish on our lines! Great experience and we are getting ready to book again! Thank you Ryan!
July 25, 2025
Had a great experience on a tough day with Capt. Ryan. He really made an effort to search for the fish and put us on some good ones. Would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a charter.

Capt. Ryan is by far one of the best people to have host your family’s fishing trip! Went today and had a great experience! Ryan was extremely informative, helpful, and his dedication to the customer is like no other. It’s almost as if he always knew what I needed every time! 100% recommend! Thank you Ryan!!

Captain Ryan put my son and I on a ton of fish!!! He took care of everything. All i had to worry about was getting fish to the boat. He is knowledgeable of the area and knew exactly where to take us to hook into some lunkers! If you are looking for a fun day of fishing on the bay, I highly recommend Captain Ryan.
