Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are the crown jewel of Texas inshore fishing. Known for their hard-pulling fights and distinctive spot on the tail, redfish can be found tailing in shallow grass flats or cruising along oyster reefs. Fall is prime time for bull reds, but we catch 'em year-round. There's nothing quite like the rush of watching a red crush a topwater lure or seeing that telltale golden flash as one inhales your bait.
Black Drum: Often overshadowed by their redfish cousins, black drum are hard-fighting and great-eating fish that can really put a bend in your rod. These whiskered bottom-feeders love structure and are suckers for fresh shrimp or crab. We target them around pilings, jetties, and deeper holes. Spring is fantastic for big spawning drum, but they're a reliable catch most of the year. Don't let their ugly mug fool you – these fish are a blast to catch and even better on the dinner table.
Sheepshead: With their distinctive black and white stripes and teeth that look like they belong in a dentist's office, sheepshead are one of the quirkiest and most challenging inshore species. These structure-loving fish are masters at stealing bait, but when you hook one, get ready for a serious tussle. We find them around rocks, pilings, and artificial reefs. Winter and early spring are prime sheepshead seasons, and they're some of the best-eating fish in the bay.
Whether you're looking to bend a rod, fill the cooler, or just soak up some sun on the water, this 5-hour inshore trip with Capt Caleb's Guide Service is your ticket to an awesome day of fishing. With all the gear provided and Caleb's local knowledge, you're set up for success from the get-go. From the thrill of hooking up with a bull red to the satisfaction of outsmarting a wily sheepshead, this trip's got something for every angler. So why wait? The fish are biting, and your spot on the boat is waiting. Book now and get ready to make some fishing memories in Corpus Christi!

Black Drum are the heavyweights of the drum family, often tipping the scales at 30-90 pounds. You'll find these bruisers hanging around oyster beds and mudflats in our local bays. They're not picky eaters, crushing shellfish with those strong teeth of theirs. Spring's the prime time to target them as they school up to spawn. Listen for that distinctive croaking sound - it's how they communicate. For the best eating, stick to the smaller ones under 15 pounds. The big boys can be tough and not as tasty. When you're fishing for them, use fresh crab or shrimp and keep your bait on the bottom. Here's a local trick: scrape some barnacles off a piling to chum them up. Just be ready for a fight when you hook into one of these powerful fish.

Redfish are the rockstars of our shallow waters, known for their coppery color and that distinctive black spot near the tail. You'll find these bruisers cruising the flats in just 1-4 feet of water, sometimes with their backs sticking out. They love to hang around oyster reefs and seagrass beds. Most of our reds run 28-33 inches, but they can get much bigger offshore. Anglers go nuts for them because they put up a great fight and taste delicious on the plate. They'll hit just about anything when they're hungry - from topwater lures to shrimp imitations. Here's a local secret: look for 'tailing' reds in super shallow water early in the morning. Cast a weedless jig right in front of their nose, and hold on tight. These fish can live up to 40 years, so show some respect and snap a quick photo before releasing the big ones.

Sheepshead are the oddballs of our local waters, sporting human-like teeth and prison stripes that earned them the nickname "convict fish." You'll typically find these 1-8 pounders lurking around docks, bridges, and any structure with barnacles. Spring's the hot time to catch 'em as they school up to spawn. Anglers love targeting sheepshead for their tasty white meat and the challenge they present - these guys are notorious bait stealers. To outsmart them, use light tackle and fresh bait like fiddler crabs or shrimp. Get as close to the structure as you can and let your bait hit bottom. Here's a pro tip: when you feel that telltale nibble, set the hook hard and fast. Their tough mouths and sneaky bites make hooking them tricky, but that's all part of the fun.
