If you’re planning a fishing trip to Corpus Christi this June, get ready for some of the best action of the year. As summer kicks off, warm Gulf waters bring in schools of game fish, and local anglers know—this is the season to hook into something big.
What’s Biting in June?
June marks the peak of redfish and speckled trout season. These prized catches are abundant in the bays and along the jetties. Early mornings and late evenings offer the best bites, especially when using live shrimp or soft plastics near grass beds and oyster reefs.
Kingfish, Spanish mackerel, and jack crevalle are running offshore. Head out on a charter from Port Aransas or the Packery Channel to chase these fast fighters. With the water temperature rising, these pelagic species are active and aggressive—perfect for trolling or casting lures.
Flounder are also lurking along sandy flats and drop-offs. Target them with jigging rigs or finger mullet, especially around the causeways and marsh cuts.
Where to Fish
Some of the best spots this time of year include:
- Packery Channel for jetty and surf action
- Oso Bay for wade fishing and trout
- Laguna Madre for trophy reds and clear flats
- Bob Hall Pier for easy access to kingfish and mackerel
Tips for June Success
- Fish early or late to avoid the midday heat
- Match your bait to the season—live bait reigns in summer
- Use a tide chart—moving water means active fish
- Stay hydrated and bring sun protection
June in Corpus Christi offers unbeatable fishing opportunities for beginners and seasoned anglers alike. Whether you’re casting from the shore, wading the flats, or heading out deep sea, the bites are hot and the memories are ready to be made.
Tight lines and sunny skies—see you on the water!
