What's on the Line

Picture this: You're out on the calm waters of Redfish Bay, the sun's just peeking over the horizon, and your line starts to twitch. That's the start of your half-day adventure with us. We're talking about hooking into some serious inshore action – Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum are all on the menu. And the best part? We've got all the gear you need.

Casting Your Way

Now, let's talk shop. Inshore fishing in Port Aransas is all about finesse and local know-how. We'll be using a mix of techniques depending on what's biting. Expect to do some drift fishing over grass flats for trout, or maybe some sight casting for tailing redfish in the shallows. We might even set up near some oyster reefs or channel edges where the big ones like to hang out. Our gear is top-notch, with light to medium action rods perfect for feeling those subtle bites. And don't worry if you're new to this – we'll show you the ropes, from how to work a soft plastic to the art of the perfect cast.

Fish Tales from the Bay

"We always enjoy our trips with Capt Cory...5 and counting! He's great with my daughter and is very knowledgeable about the area. We look forward to our annual fishing trips and would highly recommend him to anyone." - Marcos

"Great day fishing with Captain Cory!

We caught several nice reds and one whopper on a slow-to-bite kinda day. If you're looking for a likeable, good with kids guide who'll put you on the fish - Cap'n Cory's your man." - David

"Capt Cory is the best fishing guide I have ever used. Very friendly and personable. He answer's all of your questions and makes it fun for everyone. He will go the extra mile to make sure you have a good time and caught fish. He does not look at his watch to see if times up. He fished us 15 mins past time and we caught 2 redfish. You can tell he enjoys what he is doing!!! Thanks Capt Cory and we will be back." - Randall

The Local Lineup

Let's break down the stars of our inshore show. First up, the Redfish – these copper-colored bruisers are the pride of Texas inshore fishing. Known for their bull-dogging fights and that distinctive spot on their tail, redfish can range from "rats" (small ones) to "bulls" (over 27 inches). They love to cruise the shallows, often revealing their location with their tails sticking out of the water as they root for crabs.

Next, we've got the Speckled Trout, or "specks" as we call 'em. These silvery fish with spots are known for their soft mouths and acrobatic jumps. They're a blast on light tackle and make for some fantastic eating. Spring and fall are prime times for big trout, but we catch 'em year-round in Port A.

Don't forget about the Southern Flounder – the ninjas of the bay. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the bottom. They're most active during their fall run, but we can find them throughout the year if you know where to look. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of landing a big flounder.

Last but not least, the Black Drum. These cousins of the redfish are like underwater vacuum cleaners, using their sensitive barbels to root out crabs and shrimp from the bottom. They might not be the prettiest fish in the bay, but boy, can they put up a fight. And the smaller ones, what we call "puppy drum," are excellent on the dinner table.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks, this isn't just fishing – it's a full-on Port Aransas experience. You're not just casting lines; you're soaking in the sights and sounds of one of the Gulf Coast's best-kept secrets. Imagine spotting dolphins playing in the distance, or watching a great blue heron snag its breakfast right next to the boat. And let's not forget the sunrises out here – they're the kind that make even the earliest wake-up call worth it.

But what really sets this trip apart is the personal touch. Captain Cory isn't just a guide; he's a local legend with a passion for sharing his backyard with visitors. He's got a knack for making everyone feel like a pro, whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler. And trust me, his local knowledge is worth its weight in gold – or should I say, in redfish.
