Vagabond Flats 

Vagabond Flats takes you straight to some of the best inshore fishing spots in the country. Discover South Texas’ famed fishing grounds as you explore the productive flats and drift along the clear shallow waters near Corpus Christi. Here at Vagabond Flats, we are committed to ensuring an experience that leaves you and your group with stories for years to come.

Fish along the upper stretches of the Laguna Madre, Baffin Bay, Land Cut and many more of South Texas’ premier fishing grounds with Captain Grady Skelton, a fishing enthusiast who’s been casting lines since he was a kid. Capt. Grady is an expert in wade fishing, so get in the water and battle the fish in their element. Don’t feel like getting wet? Glide along the waters drift fishing and sight casting from the boat as you pursue a trophy.

Head off aboard his 24’ SCB flats boat to test your skills against some of Texas’ most prestigious fish. Go after big Redfish, delicious Flounder, and one the state’s favorites – Speckled Trout. Follow the fish into the skinny waters, and when you’re ready to go, get on plane in just 1’ of water! Light and agile, this boat was built to rule the shallows.

Vagabond Flats offers year-round half day and full day trips tailored to meet your group’s needs. Your trip includes rods, reels, tackle, lures, bottled water and snacks. Bait will be provided on request and at an extra cost.

Feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks as well. Just be sure not to fill up too much, as you’ll have a chance to have your catch cleaned and filleted for a small extra cost. Then take your catch to a nearby restaurant to be cooked fresh! Please be sure to have a valid Texas Saltwater Fishing License with you before heading out for the day.
