Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
October brings a strong fall bite around Corpus Christi. Look for schools of redfish cruising shorelines of the Upper Laguna and flats near Bird Island, with speckled trout feeding over grass and potholes at first light. Flounder stage along channel edges and marsh drains, while black drum and sheepshead hang by rocks and pilings. Surf action can spark with bull reds on the Port A jetties during stronger tides.
Best times: early morning and late afternoon on a moving tide. After a light front, cleaner water and a slight north wind often push bait shallow. Work Packery Channel, JFK Causeway spoil islands, and windward Laguna shorelines where mullet are flipping and birds are picking.
Top baits: live shrimp or finger mullet under a popping cork; soft plastics (paddle tails) on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads; and gold spoons for roaming reds. Try topwaters at dawn when the water’s slick, switching to plastics as the sun rises.
Top tip: Match your lure color to water clarity—natural hues in “trout green” water, brighter chartreuse in stained—and focus casts on bait edges rather than the middle of the school to avoid spooking fish.
Best Fishing Spots in the greater Corpus Christi area
Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 6 beaches and bays in this area.
North Beach - 2.78126930571km , Nueces Bay - 6.46841818811km , Corpus Christi Bay - 14.83258484024km , Oso Bay - 15.78970714408km , Kinney Bayou - 17.87084510781km , Rincon Bayou - 19.00267287577km
Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 15 main harbours in this area.
