Fishing

Corpus Christi and North Padre Island make for a fishing paradise. You don’t need to go out to sea for some great fishing spots. In the area, you can find opportunities to fish on the bayside, in the surf, off a pier or out at sea. There is a variety of species fishing including trout, redfish, flounder, red snapper, black drum, tuna, marlin, shark and many others.

Before you head out to the waters, make sure you have a fishing license for anyone older than 17.

Fishing on North Padre Island

You don’t need to complicate things to enjoy fishing. The easiest place to go fishing at is right on the beach. Simply head out to the beach and cast away. Two other easily accessible options are the Packery Channel Jetties and the Bob Hall Pier. The Packery Channel Jetties are a short walk for The Gulfstream Condos and are a very popular and active fishing spot. Bob Hall Pier allows fisherman access to fish that don’t come close to shore without having to get on a boat. There is a small fee and if you don’t have your own fishing gear there are vendors who will rent you everything you need.

On the other side of North Padre Island you have access to Laguna Madre. To enjoy bay fishing you can wade into the water, cast from the shore or rent a kayak.
