Hunter Bay is based in Corpus Christi, Texas, and is ideally located for inshore saltwater fishing. Owned and operated by Capt. Ernie Hunter, the charter service provides safe and unique Texas saltwater fishing experiences.

You will be fishing aboard a custom built 24 ft Haynie Bigfoot Bayboat that is powered by a 225 HP Yamaha VMAX engine. The boat gives a smooth, reliable and safe ride and is equipped with a variety of amenities to make your inshore fishing trip one to remember. With a range of Garmin electronics on board, as well as an ice box, an anchoring system and a stereo sound system, the boat will keep you comfortable and entertained while putting you on fish.

Fishing trips with Capt. Ernie could involve covering a variety of fishing grounds in search of your target fish, including Baffin Bay, 9 Mile Hole, Land Cut, or Shamrock Cove in Corpus Christi Bay. On a full day trip you could be fishing for Trout, Redfish, Drum, Flounder, and Sheepshead with light tackle, bait and/or lures and Shimano reels, or you could choose to gig for Flounder or sight cast for Speckled Trout under the lights on a night trip.

All the rods, reels, and tackle you will need is provided in the price of the trip - all you need to bring with you is a valid Texas fishing license with a saltwater stamp and be ready for a good time!

And don’t forget: NO FISH NO PAY!!

Half day trip with captain Hunter

Can’t really put into words the great experience we had with captain Hunter. His vast knowledge of the area and the targeted species was obvious within a few minutes after we began to fish. We limited out quite early and were able to change gears and go after some sharks, which my kids loved. But the way he was with the kids was fun to watch. You could tell he enjoyed teaching young people the sport he loves. I would highly recommend him to anyone from novice to experienced angler. I know we’ll be back!!
