Best Fishing Spots In Corpus Christi - Port Aransas And Aransas Pass

[@renehernandez5231]

I’ve been fishing corpus and port a since I was a kid. I’m 53 now and the fishing pressure is a lot. With that said I wish people would clean after themselves. Take care of our resources or they will be lost for future enjoyment.

[@leovasquez5016]

Thank you for sharing local knowledge, especially for beginners or visiting tourists. Nice to make folks feel welcome. Lighthouse Lakes note: If you're kayaking, you can use the sound of Hwy 361 road traffic to guide you back to your vehicle. If you're hard of hearing, like some of us old folks, you can use the sun as a guide. Sun sets west towards Aransas Pass, therefore, Hwy 361 is towards the south. Kayakers wear high visibility clothing and be aware of boat traffic parallel to Hwy 361. Let's all be responsible and clean up after ourselves. I always bring out my own trash and someone else's. Tight lines everyone.

I've passed that Packery Channel Park turn off a hundred times but I never turned in. I thought it may be a good spot. We were there from October 2021 until March 2022. I wish I'd seen this video back then, I'll remember this when we go back. Thank you!

[@michaelperales2409]

Amazing video !! Went growing up allot but had a big era of no shows until now that I’m in my early 20’s and this just helps the knowledge grow for fishing on my own !! A fall/winter month spot video would be awesome 🤩

[@mond000]

15:49 Caught my pb flounder right there, but that spot is hit or miss. Didn't catch anything the three other times I went there, and neither did anyone else.

[@jimbobbluegrass]

Packery Channel in the late 70s was our go to spot. Absolutely no development there then. Such a great place.

[@kurtmoroski3395]

Coming into Padre there by snoopy's is a favorite place of mine. Put a tag on a big red in October. Thanks for the tips, Texas Beach Bum. One day when I retire I'll become a full time beach bum, too. Keep your line wet!!

[@pulido6974]

Thanks, bro. I'm from San Antonio. You are very helpful. Me and my son are here fishing in Port aransas. He just got out of the navy. Where here for 4 days.

[@mikeblough942]

Thanks for another great video. I live in K.C. and try to get down to this area every winter. Not knowing this area your videos have really helped me. I really enjoy Texas and the people i meat there, Port Aranas Texas city dike and Corpus are the places i usually go. Thanks again for all the help.

[@stevenreynolds2327]

I used to live in ElDorado, KS and would come down to go fishing, one time, I forgot to go back to KS, been here for 30 years now.

[@hlozano6231]

Went fishing in Port Aransas in July and wow it was amazing. Fishing the pier and jetty, if I could move there from West Texas I would in a heartbeat. God bless you thank you for sharing these spots

[@user-winstonsmith]

I’ve usually had good luck on the Flour Bluff turnaround under the causeway with live shrimp on a popping cork.

[@BB-zc4gq]

Ive pulled some big trout and reds out of Packery channel on the other side toward tne ocean at the place where it goes into where homes were going to be built. They have redone the jetties with big rocks now, so probably not as good now.

[@redfish121884]

The nice house the guy yelled at me when I was in high school thinking he owned the water

[@moolieboy]

What a dick. Before starbucks, i was wading right there and a local pig motioned me over onto the shore to talk to him. Then told me I was trespassing. Pricks.

[@tarpontail2750]

[@richardgomez2468]

Went to Rockport-Fulton with the Family. Really wanted to fish. But just as a last vacation since our son is going to college. Wanted to take him to the coast. Love this video.

[@leroygutierrez3948]

Thx brother 👍🏽 Love to see the places I don’t get to fish often as I want

[@wkbarr]

Awesome! Great info, thank you! Even though I'm a local, I appreciate the perspective that you add with the drone views and maps!

Nice job. All those are good spots. Most of them were there in the 70s when I lived in corpus

[@arthurgarcia8979]

Hopefully in September I will be going out there want to try mustang island State Park i can't believe nobody was there fishing

[@Gbienek1]

I love this channel. Some of my favorites spots!! Besides way down to Port Mansfield, port O’Connor and Matagorda bay.

Thanks!

You the man thank you for the infos

[@SealAdobo]

Im about to check this place out tomorrow. But of course in show up when there is a heat advisory in effect.

[@richb8303]

I truly appreciate the fishing spots. I live in Phoenix, where it is very hot, and only make it out there a couple of times a year. Any info is always welcomed. Thanks.

[@JSIII02]

Your videos and tutorials are fantastic. Please, please keep these type videos coming. I really liked the video about using salted shrimp too. People told me that they used it, but I didn’t take it serious. You just convinced me that salty shrimp is the way to go. Thanks you so much Sir.

[@c.j.5363]

Fish Pass before you cross over the bridge is an excellent spot to cast net for live bait!

[@texasbeachbum]

yep lots of bait in there

[@signelengis]

Was there all week. Water was dirty in the surf, but we still had fun. We stuck to PINS.

[@markstopkey4085]

New Subscriber from San Antonio! #4 and 5 and fishpass north have long been one of my go to spots. I just got a 24' Cajun bay boat. That changes the game!

[@texasbeachbum]

Boat is going to be awesome

Dude..Get that top off that Jeep bro!! WTH??!! 😂😂😂..So glad U put out a new vid..You're the man!!

[@professionalimagesphotogra5581]

love the videos and the details. I live in San Antonio and always like to do day trips leaving like 3 am to get there and set up by 6 am to fish. What is your number one favorite?

[@texasbeachbum]

@@professionalimagesphotogra5581 Trout

[@henry8920]

I've lived here my whole life, and have caught the most fish in the places he say's not to fish. Some of the largest reds and trout are caught in less than two feet of water. Fish the shallow bays, you don't have to wade out to deeper water. Beach fishing is always a blast, but probably not for most people because you really do need some quality gear.

[@texasbeachbum]

youre not going to catch much when the water temps are near 90 in the shallows. When the water is very warm fish migrate to deeper waters that is why you fish the channels and near structures that has shade. Beach fishing is not expensive a penn battle 3 combo will do the trick just fine and a few popmp rigs. One of the spots I talk about here is very hot for large trout and redfish right as the water goes from shallow to deep. Lots of people fly fish back there and do just fine. Under the bridges are great in the fall and early spring months especially the one as you get on the Island. That area I say not to fish is because you need to wade out far to get anywhere near the fish. Not saying you cannot catch fish there but there are way better spots just down the road. Surf fishing is always a guarantee that you will catch fish that is why I do not do much bay fishing because the surf is where it's at if you have no boat. Fishing just past redot on the right is a waste of time to me much better places down the road.

[@michaelramirez7196]

Love the video! Quick question, could I camp out at Fish Pass Bridge or any of the other fishing spots besides the one near mustang island? I would love to bring my travel trailer down there to camp and fish.

[@texasbeachbum]

Nope no camping in these areas

[@billulu5602]

Thanks buddy for all that info. I always end up at the beach cause not familiar with area!

[@profpigeon5441]

Cool vid, I actually fly fish for reds at packers channel park, tough bc your guessing a lot, but tons of fun

[@MrSuperchargedv8]

What a good place to cast net live mullet. Seems like alot of the time mullet at the jetty tend to push away from rocks so its a bit hard to reach them sometimes. Figured if I can net them before heading to the jetty might be a good idea.

[@texasbeachbum]

Over by the motel 6 going towards portland. Right by the dock area

[@Waverunnerkitchen]

theres a private marina at the end of channel st in Port Aransas, best fishing in town yall

[@betoguerra6069]

Thanks for sharing your locations. I’m a rookie at coastal fishing. What size of rod and reel would you recommend for those areas???

[@texasbeachbum]

8 foot rod with something like a penn battle 3 4000

[@stevenreynolds2327]

Quality video Billy. Thanks

[@stevenrldenault7451]

Hello, I'd like to do a camping surf fishing road trip from Canada down to Corpus Christi in January or February 2024. Will the weather be like our Fall camping trip temperature-wise. Will the spots you mention in this video be good times for surf/shore fishing? Or should I be headed further south to S Padre or Boca Chica? I might bring a Kayak too. Thanks for any tips or suggestions. Steve (67yrs) Manitoba.

[@texasbeachbum]

Bring your Kayak this area has some of the best kayak fishing spots. The weather will be just fine might be a little chilly some days but over-all you'll be fine. I would camp out on North Padre Island. Natioanl seashore for the best experience. You can usually tavel down five miles with no 4 wheel drive after that you will need 4 wheel drive. Surf conditions are hard to predict but usually in the winter months it's calmer. Winter fishing is awesome down here especially for Pompano. Early morning is usually good for surf fishing as well as bay fishing. Personally I think this area is better than South Padre. There are camp grounds on Padre if you dont want to boondock. Park fee will cost you $15 for a week I believ unless you are in the military or have been in then it's free. Look at this camping video on Padre kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGGcg3yerphqeJo
