Fishing near Corpus Christi, TX

Set in Nueces County on a 192-square-mile bay sheltered by barrier islands, Corpus Christi packs inshore, surf, and offshore fishing into one accessible coastline. The 'Big Three' — Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder — define the scene across Corpus Christi Bay, the Upper Laguna Madre, and trophy-trout Baffin Bay. Freshwater anglers head 35 minutes northwest to Lake Corpus Christi, and the city is regarded as the center of kayak fishing in Texas.
