Full-Day Fishing: Redfish, Drum, and More

Ready to take your angling to the next level? Captain Kevin's full-day advanced fishing trip in Corpus Christi is calling your name. This ain't your average day on the water - we're talking 7 solid hours of primo fishing action in the legendary Baffin Bay. Whether you're after bull reds, gator trout, or hefty black drum, this trip is tailor-made for serious anglers looking to up their game. With top-notch gear and a shallow-draft boat that can sneak into the skinniest water, you'll be hitting spots most weekend warriors only dream about. So grab your lucky hat and let's get after it!

What to Expect on the Water

When you step onto Captain Kevin's shallow sport boat, you're in for a treat. This ain't no leisurely cruise - we're here to put you on fish, and lots of 'em. We'll start at the crack of dawn, when the bite is hot and the bay is calm. Captain Kevin's got years of experience under his belt, and he knows every nook and cranny of Baffin Bay like the back of his hand. You'll be using top-of-the-line tackle and fresh bait, so all you need to focus on is setting the hook when that big one hits. And trust me, in these waters, it's not a matter of if, but when.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

This ain't your grandpa's bobber fishing. We're talking advanced techniques that separate the pros from the amateurs. Depending on the conditions and what's biting, we might be sight-casting to tailing reds in the shallows, working topwater lures for explosive trout strikes, or slow-rolling soft plastics along drop-offs for monster drum. Captain Kevin's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, and he's more than happy to share his knowledge. Whether you want to fine-tune your casting accuracy, learn how to read the water like a book, or master the art of working a lure, this trip is your chance to level up your fishing skills big time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are the crown jewels of Texas inshore fishing. Known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights, redfish in Baffin Bay can grow to over 40 inches. They love to cruise the flats, often revealing their location with their distinctive tailing behavior. The fall months are prime time for bull reds, but you can catch quality fish year-round. There's nothing quite like the thump of a big red taking your lure - it'll have your heart racing every time.

Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you - black drum are some of the hardest-fighting fish in the bay. These bulldogs of the flats can grow to over 30 pounds in Baffin Bay, and they'll test your tackle and your patience. They love hanging around oyster reefs and channel edges, often feeding in schools. Winter and early spring are peak seasons for big drum. When you hook into a big one, hold on tight - they've got a knack for making even experienced anglers look like rookies.

Sea Trout: Speckled trout are the bread and butter of Texas inshore fishing, and Baffin Bay is famous for producing true gator trout. These spotted speedsters are known for their acrobatic jumps and delicate mouths. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. There's nothing quite like the excitement of a big trout blowing up on a topwater lure at first light - it's the kind of action that'll have you coming back for more.

Southern Flounder: These flatfish might not look like much, but they're prized for both their fight and their flavor. Flounder love to ambush their prey from sandy or muddy bottoms, often congregating around structure and drop-offs. Fall is the best time to target flounder as they migrate to the Gulf, but you can catch them year-round with the right techniques. Hooking a big flounder is like setting the hook into a living doormat - they'll use every trick in the book to shake free.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, once you've experienced fishing Baffin Bay with Captain Kevin, you'll be itching to come back. It's not just about the quantity of fish (though we catch plenty) - it's about the quality of the experience. You'll be fishing some of the most productive waters in Texas, with a guide who knows how to put you on the big ones. Whether you're looking to catch your personal best, learn new techniques, or just enjoy a day of world-class fishing, this trip delivers. And hey, there's nothing like the satisfaction of outfishing your buddy and having the pictures to prove it!

Learn more about the species

Black Drum

Black drum are the heavyweights of the drum family, often hitting 30-50 pounds with some monsters topping 90. You'll find them in Corpus Christi's bays and estuaries, especially around oyster reefs and mudflats. These bottom-feeders use their strong teeth to crush shellfish, so areas with plenty of crabs and oysters are drum hotspots. Spring is prime time when they school up to spawn. Anglers love drum for their powerful fights and good table fare, though stick to smaller ones under 15 pounds for the best eating. To target big ones, use fresh crab or shrimp on a heavy bottom rig. Here's a local tip: listen for their distinctive croaking sound – it can lead you right to a school of hungry drum.

Black Drum

Redfish

Redfish, or red drum, are the rockstars of Texas flats fishing. These copper-colored brutes with their trademark tail spot can push 40 inches in the bays, with even bigger "bull reds" in the surf. You'll find them tailing in super shallow water, often with their backs out of the water. They love to cruise grass flats, oyster reefs, and marsh edges. Fall is prime time when they school up to spawn. Redfish are famous for their powerful runs and bulldogging fights. They're also excellent eating when slot-sized. To hook up, try gold spoons, scented soft plastics, or live bait like mullet or crab. Local secret: on calm days, cruise the flats and look for their copper backs or tails breaking the surface. It's sight-fishing at its finest.

Redfish

Sea Trout

Sea trout, also called speckled trout, are a favorite target in Corpus Christi's shallow bays. These silvery fish with distinctive spots usually run 14-20 inches, though some trophy specimens push 30 inches. Look for them around grass flats, oyster reefs, and channel edges. They're most active at dawn and dusk, especially on moving tides. Trout are known for their soft mouths, so a gentle hookset is key. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and excellent taste on the table. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a local go-to, but soft plastics and topwater lures can be deadly too. Pro tip: when you find one trout, there's usually more nearby. Fan-cast the area thoroughly before moving on.

Sea Trout

Southern Flounder

Southern flounder are masters of camouflage, blending into sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters. They typically grow 15-18 inches long, but can reach up to 33 inches. Look for them in bays, estuaries, and near river mouths. Fall is prime time as they migrate to spawn offshore. Anglers love targeting flounder for their delicate, mild-flavored meat and the challenge of hooking these ambush predators. They're not known for long fights, but landing one takes skill. To improve your odds, use a slow retrieve with live bait or soft plastics, keeping your offering right on the bottom. A local trick: when you feel a bite, wait a few seconds before setting the hook. Flounder often grab prey sideways before repositioning it to swallow headfirst.
