I know of several area's to fish if anyone is interested in if they're planning on visiting Corpus Christi TX with or without a boat. Usually the best fishing is when the first COLD front gets into town but because of the new laws housing association put into effect, a boat is required at the Isand to the right of the JFK bridge where all the channels running into the condominiums and very expensive houses are at, you need to use the boat ramps under the JFK bridge in order to get to the channels and when you find bouys [hope that I spelled it right] drop anchor a short distance away from it and use live bait and be ready for the HITS that'll follow, BUT you gotta do this fishing when it's the coldest weather possible because that's when all types of fish go into the channels. Before the law of you having to live in the comunity, 6 friend's and I went fishing off Fortuna Bay street where the bouy is located at a little after midnight and caught at least 200lbs. Of fish within the hour. The fish ranged from butterfly drum, black drum, red fish, trout and even one flounder using live shrimp. I recommend driving to find the street Fortuna Bay to familiarize yourself for the area you want to get the boat to and I guarantee you that you'll catch fish around the bouy but make sure it's cold as can be whether it's day or night time. If anyone does take this seriously and actually goes to this location to fish, let me know how it went. REMEMBER... that it's got to be a very cold day for my information on catching fish to be one great day for you and company. When I went fishing off Fortuna Bay I wore 2 top and bottom thermal underwear beneath my pants and sweatshirt and my winter insulated coveralls cuz that's how COLD I felt it was along with the wind gust of about 20-30 MPH and temperature at about 22° . Good luck
