Target Species – Fish We Catch with Aggie Guide Service in Corpus Christi
Explore the Top Inshore and Coastal Catches Year-Round
Corpus Christi offers some of the most exciting inshore fishing on the Texas coast, and Aggie Guide Service targets the area's most popular species year-round. Redfish and Speckled Trout are the headliners, with solid action throughout all seasons—especially during fall and spring when water temps are ideal. Redfish cruise the flats and marshes in schools during cooler months, while summer brings active trout feeding along grass edges, oyster reefs, and channel drop-offs. These trips are perfect for families and serious anglers alike looking to catch both numbers and size.
Black Drum, Flounder, and Sheepshead round out the seasonal lineup, providing steady action in deeper cuts and around structure, especially during winter and early spring. For those chasing a true trophy fish, the cooler months bring in bull Redfish and oversized Drum, offering powerful fights and brag-worthy catches. Whether you're casting artificial lures or soaking bait, Captain Brian tailors every trip to match the bite and the season. The best part? Fishing in Corpus Christi is productive year-round, so there's never a bad time to plan your trip.

Trending Questions About Corpus Christi Fishing Species
What fish are biting in Corpus Christi right now?
Right now, Redfish and Speckled Trout are active in the early mornings and late afternoons, especially along grassy flats and drop-offs. With rising water temps in mid-summer, morning trips offer the best results.
When is the best time of year to catch trophy Redfish in Corpus Christi?
Late September through November is prime time for trophy-sized Redfish. During this period, bull Reds move inshore in larger numbers, making it one of the best windows for big catches.
