Probably one of the most underrated parks in South Texas…read more How do I know it's underrated? Well, it wasn't even on Yelp! But seriously, I love coming here on a sunny day. You will find mainly locals, parasailers, and fishermen here, which makes it more appealing. It is mostly unencumbered by any touristy overflow from across the bridge. It is a truly beautiful nature preserve.

Had an amazing time at Red Dot Pier with my son this past weekend!!!…read more When we got to Red Dot , I had a borrowed fishing rod that turned out to be broken. My son had been looking forward to go fishing, and the guy at register (should have gotten his name!), was incredible!! He got his "Babe" to get his personal fishing rod from his truck so my son could still fish (she was awesome also, she answered all my son's questions about fish at the pier). My son Levi had such a wonderful time!!! He caught three fish and had help each time from the guy at register to help him take the fish off of rod. My son was so proud of his catch and even shared how to fish for scissor fish with other kids on pier. The staff absolutely made my sons' fishing experience positive and fun. We are going back next week. My son got a cool shirt at Red Dot Pier that he treasures. Red Dot Pier is very clean and bright. I would also add that everyone on pier was friendly. Thank you staff at Red Dot Pier for being so wonderful. God bless you.

Anytime you are in Corpus Christi, chartering a fishing trip has to be on your to do list, and…read moreusing Czar Fishing Company is an absolute MUST! I had met Taylor, the guide, the night prior to my fishing trip. He is extremely personable, down to earth, and hilarious. So, I show up to Billings' Bait and Tackle Shop and meet up with Taylor. He puts his boat into the water, gathers up all the materials we need for our trip, and within fifteen minutes we are on the boat and heading out to our first location. As he is baiting my hook with a live piggy perch, he is explaining to me where I needed to cast my line. And no kidding, within a minute, I already had a bite and I was reeling in a red fish! Talk about having so much excitement, I couldn't contain myself. Once I get the red fish close enough to the boat, Taylor uses his net to get it into the boat. For the few hours that we were out on the water, every single location we went to, the fish were instantly biting as soon as we cast out our lines. My arms were sore, my fingers ached, and I got sun burned (even though I had sunscreen on), but I had the most amazing time out on the water with Taylor catching all the fish that we did. If I could have, I would have stayed out on the water for a lot longer than we did. It's obvious that Taylor knows exactly what he is doing and where we needed to go to ensure that I would catch fish. While other guides were out around where we were, they weren't catching the same amount of fish that Taylor and I were. Every single spot we went to (we went to about five different locations), the fish were biting. They were biting so fast I could barely keep up with reeling them all in. I caught trout, red fish, catfish, and lost a skip jack, but I didn't even care! Still excited from catching all the other fish that I did! And, if you're someone who doesn't want to get dirty, you don't have to do anything but reel the fish in! Seriously, one of the best times I have had in a long time was doing this chartered fishing trip with Taylor! I even got to sit at the top with the Captain (Taylor)! Also, I would recommend that you wear long sleeved shirts, bring a hat and sunglasses, any snacks and water....but to be honest, you're going to be way too busy catching fish to want to stop and eat, but I did drink a lot of water because it was hot! Promise you won't be disappointed chartering with Czar Fishing Company. If I am ever back in Corpus Christi, booking a trip with Taylor will definitely be on the top of my "things to do" list!
