🎣 June 2025 Fishing Report for Corpus Christi: Redfish, Trout & Texas Slam Season Begins!
Summer is officially here, and so is one of the most exciting times to fish the waters of Corpus Christi. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a weekend warrior, June 2025 promises prime opportunities to land redfish, speckled trout, and flounder — the famous Texas Slam.
🔥 What’s Biting This Month?
As water temperatures warm into the 80s, baitfish become more active, drawing in hungry predators across the flats, bays, and nearshore waters. Here’s what to expect:
🐟 Speckled Trout
Trout fishing kicks into high gear this month. Early mornings and late evenings are best for topwater action. Try wading the grassy flats in Laguna Madre, Nueces Bay, or Redfish Bay using Super Spooks, She Dogs, or soft plastics on light jig heads. If you’re fishing from a boat or kayak, anchor near drop-offs and submerged structure for a chance at larger trout.
🐟 Redfish
June is prime time to sight cast redfish in the shallows. Look for tails and wakes along grassy shorelines, oyster reefs, and marsh edges. Gold spoons, paddle tails, and live shrimp under popping corks are all go-to setups. Don’t overlook the Port Aransas jetties either — bull reds are known to cruise these areas in summer.
🐟 Flounder
Flounder are moving into ambush spots along sandy bottoms, creek mouths, and channel edges. Fish slow and low with Gulp! baits or live mud minnows. Some of the best flounder action in June can be found near Aransas Pass, Packery Channel, and Humble Channel.
🌊 Bonus Action: Nearshore & Offshore
June also opens the door for nearshore trolling and offshore excursions. Kingfish, cobia, and mahi-mahi start showing up close to the rigs and shrimp boats. For those targeting snapper, make sure to check the latest federal and state regulations — red snapper season is typically in full swing in June.
🧊 Summer Fishing Tips for Success
- Beat the Heat: Get on the water early or fish into the evening to avoid midday heat.
- Stay Hydrated: Always bring plenty of water and electrolytes — South Texas heat is no joke.
- Check Your Gear: Make sure reels are cleaned, lines are fresh, and tackle is organized.
- Know the Tides: Tide swings can be the difference between a skunked trip and a limit.
🎯 Final Cast
With a mix of calm seas, active fish, and beautiful weather, June is one of the best months to fish Corpus Christi. Whether you’re wading in the back bays, casting from a kayak, or heading offshore, now is the time to plan your trip and make the most of the 2025 fishing season.
Tight lines, and may your next cast land your personal best!
