Only thing you need to bring is camera or cell phone to take lots of pics of your catch. Everything else provided for you, also be sure to have your Texas fishing license before your trip.

Get out early, know your fishing holes and the hazards around them. Using a cast net ensures you get the bait that the fish are naturally eating in the area and that they are fresh.

October is an excellent time to fish in CC. The weather is great (usually) & it’s not as crowded as summer months

September, while the start of fall, will still be quite hot in South Texas -- treat it as you would any summer fishing outing.

Yes, just ensure you bring a jacket. There was a few showers that didn’t hit us, but you could have one come over you for a few minutes.

I recommend making sure you know the weather because high 80’s and muggy weather can be tough on the body. Make sure you have the appropriate clothes and plenty of water.

I can't explain how much fun we had. The fish wouldn't stop biting. It was a great time and that's what we wanted

We love fishing, and this was our first on-the-water fishing trip. We usually love fishing from the shore in August when fish movement starts changing up due to changing weather patterns.

Wear long sleeve fishing shirts, sun glasses, sun screen, drink plenty of water, catch what ever is biting, and enjoy the entire process of fishing.

We fished a couple of weeks post hurricane & lots of rain so I’m guessing it’s usually better than what we experienced but it was not bad.

If you like fishing would recommend the 6 hour trip. Three hours to me would be to short. Just saying!

Get an experienced captain who knows the bay. We caught fish everywhere we stopped. The trip was relaxing and fun.

Well we caught speckled trout. That seemed boring in the beginning but they gave a good fight and it was a ton of fun. Caught about 30 fish in about 5 hours with Capt. Alex. He’s a great guide.

Do it! When do you ever get to fish for sharks? Fishing from the beach is more fun than a boat & your kids won’t get motion sickness!

Corpus is a prime destination for fishing in Texas. 5 hour trips are good in the Summer because it can get hot.

Definitely book with Zander Ray (Alexander). Professional, knowledgeable and definitely a people person. We will book solely with Alexander when visiting Corpus Christi

Great time and caught plenty of fish! I should have booked the whole day instead of half but still slammed a bunch of fish!

Best saltwater experience and make sure you have your saltwater fishing license either for the day or year. Won't regret.

Weather fluctuates so much. We picked a bad weekend in terms of the weather. I might wait until things settle if you’re looking to catch a lot

Many overpriced inexperienced masquerading as top notch guides. Spend some time at the marinas if you can before you book.

If this is your first time. Do not waste your money trying on your own. The shore and piers really do not offer what you are looking for. Spend the money for an incredible adventure!

I think we caught a good amount of fish given that we fished using a new technique, and that there was a full moon the night before our charter.

Call Cpt Jason Thornton! Mornings are a bit busy but the afternoon was perfect! It was a windy day but the fish were biting. Bring extra water to drink and sun screen!

Make sure the captain can find live shrimp if not I would cancel trip and loose $90 deposit instead of paying $600 and catching 0 fish.
