White Lightning Sportfishing
Looking to catch some fish in Corpus Christi? That's what White Lightning Sportfishing is here for! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Partick can tell you all about the local fishery.
These waters are known for King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Spadefish, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Black Drum, Redfish, Tarpon, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!
You'll be welcome aboard a 32' Pro-Line walkaround that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
White Lightning Sportfishing will make it easy for you to go fishing in Corpus Christi. So, how about booking that trip?

Capt Patrick Somerville is absolutely outstanding and professional. Not only is he a Veteran but has so much knowledge with offshore fishing. Went out with close friends and their kids. He put up with all the kids and adults questions. We had lots and he explained them to the kids as well as us. We learned so much, caught a ton of fish. Not all made the cut, but had enough to make a meal. Red Snapper. Lane Snappers, Sand Trout, Baracuda, and Spanish Mackerel were just some of the species we landed. Was great with the kids and great with the adult's. Again we asked so many questions and he had the patience and great knowledge to explain it all to us. We did throw him some curve balls but he got our lines back out fast. Even when all 4 had fish on at the same time.
Thank you so much for the kind review! i really enjoyed having you guys out, y'all did a great job, and im happy to talk fishing all day! Loved the questions and interest in fishing! Hope y'all enjoy the fresh fish dinner!
Patrick was awesome! We showed up about 45 minutes early, and he was ready for us and got us out on the water early, which was amazing! We got started early, had such a good time and Patrick even extended the trip, and the fishing was top notch! If you’re ever around Port A or Corpus Christi and want to actually catch fish instead of just paying for a boat ride and emotional damage, I highly recommend giving Patrick a holler. The price was right, the trip was great, and we had a blast. Thanks again, Patrick! We’ll definitely give you a holler next time we’re in the area!
man, thank you so much! I loved having y'all today and pray to see y'all in the future! I had a blast with yall!
I would gladly book another fishing excursion with Captain Patrick and highly encourage anyone to book his services. He communicated quickly with me after first booking the trip asking about our group so he can make the most of our time together. He was friendly with my family right from the moment we stepped onto his boat. Hs boat was well equipped and clean. He let us stream our own music as we headed out to the Gulf. Most importantly, he was able to connect us with some fun fish. We caught several king mackerel, a crevalle jack, red fish, and the biggest catch of our trip was 30 lb cobia. Again, I highly recommend Captain Patrick's services!!!
I had a great time with you guys!! Thank you again and hope to see y'all in the future!
on the way back my son said:” this is definitely 5 star trip”. Captain and crew are very friendly and knowledgeable, they helped us catch a 12.5 lbs king mackerel, and many red snappers, we inly keep the biggest one, and we almost catch a big cobia, this is an excellent trip!
Thank you so much for the kind review! I look forward to seeing y'all again! i hope you enjoy a great fresh dinner with the fish you caught!
We had an amazing time with Captain Patrick and White Lightning Sportfishing! Not only was he incredibly friendly, but his patience with our teenagers was next level. He knew exactly where to take us for the best fishing, and his passion for the sport was contagious — it truly inspired our kids. It’s clear Captain Patrick loves what he does, and that made the experience even more special. I’d recommend anyone looking for a fun, memorable day on the water to book with White Lightning Sportfishing. You’re guaranteed a great time. Thank you, Captain Patrick!
Thank you so much for the very kind review! I really enjoyed having you and your family with me! and everyone did a really great job!
