Corpus Christi TX, United States

Corpus Christi Castaway Charters (C-4), owned and operated by Captain Leo is located on North Padre Island with access to inshore saltwater fishing. Capt. Leo offers inshore fishing trips in the upper Laguna Madre, Corpus Christi, Baffin Bay and the land cut, depending on where the fish are biting. If you don’t catch a fish within 10-15 minutes, he’s moving to a better spot.

Capt. Leo’s mission is to provide you a safe, memorable fishing trip, and to put some fish in the ice box.

You’ll be fishing aboard one of the biggest bay boats available, a 25’9” Mowdy, with a reliable and quiet 4 stroke 250 HP Suzuki engine.  This boat provides a smooth comfortable ride capable of navigating through very shallow waters. It provides plenty of seating and casting capabilities.

Capt. Leo specializes in catching Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Redfish, and Flounder, utilizing either popping corks with live shrimp or bottom fishing to target certain fish.

Whether you are a novice or an avid fisherman, Capt. Leo and his occasional first mate wife Tammy (depending on the group) will get you up and running, catching fish and making this a memorable fishing experience.

All fishing equipment (rods, bait, tackle, life jackets) are included in the price. Bring your snacks, drinks, sun block, and a valid Texas saltwater fishing license.  Fish cleaning is provided at no additional cost.

Corpus Christi Castaway Charters assures you’ll end your trip with some catch in your cooler. If not, you don’t have to pay!

I’ve been fishing the lower Laguna Madre for over 30 years. I’ve owned a boat for as long as I can remember, love to fish, and spent my time on the water as much as possible. I finally became a fishing guide after retiring as a firearms, Physical training, driving and canine instructor for the US Border Patrol. I enjoy meeting new people and helping them to catch fish they've never caught before. I'm happy that I can provide quality family time for my guests.
