Fishing 101: Corpus Christi Style

Alright, let's talk fishing. We'll be working the inshore waters of the Laguna Madre, which is like a fish buffet. The technique we use depends on what's biting, but here's the rundown: For redfish, we might be sight-casting in the shallows or drifting with live bait. Black drum? We'll likely be bottom fishing with crab or shrimp. And for those wily sheepshead, we'll be dropping lines near structure – think jetties or pier pilings. Capt Caleb's got a sixth sense for where the fish are hiding, and he'll walk you through each technique step-by-step. By the end of the day, you'll be casting like a champ and maybe even giving the captain a run for his money!

The Usual Suspects: Fish Edition

Let's talk about the stars of the show – the fish you'll be chasing. First up, the redfish. These copper-colored beauties are the rock stars of inshore fishing. They put up a fight that'll have your arms burning (in a good way), and they're known for their distinctive spot near the tail. Spring and fall are prime time for reds, but they're around all year.

Next, we've got the black drum. Don't let the name fool you – these guys are more silver than black, with distinctive chin barbels that make 'em look like they've got a goatee. They're the gentle giants of the bay, often cruising in schools. Winter and early spring are when they really show up in numbers.

Last but not least, the sheepshead. These striped critters are the tricksters of the bunch. They've got human-like teeth (seriously, it's kind of freaky) that they use to crunch up crabs and barnacles. Catching them requires finesse, but man, is it satisfying when you do. They're most active in the cooler months, from late fall through early spring.

Why Folks Keep Coming Back

You know what makes this trip special? It's not just about catching fish (though that's pretty awesome). It's about creating those moments you'll be talking about for years to come. Maybe it's the look on your kid's face when they reel in their first redfish, or the friendly competition between family members to see who can catch the biggest drum. It's about learning new skills, gaining confidence on the water, and maybe even discovering a new passion. Plus, let's be real – there's something magical about being out on the water, away from screens and schedules, just enjoying nature and each other's company.
