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.

This is the first time I have fished with Chris. A buddy, myself and his girlfriend (third time…read morefishing) booked him for a half day trip using bait. As such we had to fish from the boat. Chris worked hard to put us on fish. Caught a few here and a few there but nothing fast and furious. Did make one "last stop" on the way in and finished off our limits. Overall it was a great day. Chris is really low key, and focused on his clients having a good time. I am not much of a bait fisherman so he was OK with me fishing artificials while the others three bait. Never got upset if someone lost a fish or did something wrong. I would definitely recommend him - especially for first time or novice anglers. Will book him again.

Fishing guide urinated off the side of the boat twice. He didn't have shrimp as bait because he was allergic. I would not recommend this charter. Pick another. Would have drove to Corpus Christi marina (40 mins away) if I'd known. Also faster getting back to Port Aransas. Took away from the day. Pick a better charter. More knowledgeable for the $650 price tag.

Unfortunately, I ended up having to cancel my trip with Coastal Charters. But I was very impressed…read morewith their service. They were very friendly and very accommodating. Their boats and pricing also seemed very reasonable compared to others. They also have one of the best cancel policies I found out of Port Arkansas. As long as you cancel two weeks before your trip, no questions asked full refund. While I may not be able to use them in the short term, their service will have me booking with them again in the future.

Went fishing with my husband, 2 sons and extended family for an 8hr trip in June. Red snapper…read moreseason. Had a blast almost everyone was hooking snappers left and right. We went to 3 different spots. I wish we could have switched to try some sharks but I think they were waiting to max out on snappers and there were a few people not catching anything so we never did. Overall we had a super fun trip. We went back last weekend with my husband, son, and daughter. No one else had signed up for the 8hr trip so we got bumped to the 4hr. We were a little disappointed but I guess you can't control those types of things. Headed out about an hour. As soon as we dropped our lines me and my son's gf hooked bonnethead sharks! After that my hubby, and daughter caught one each. We hooked some bait fish and my hubby hooked a Mangrove Snapper. Only my son didn't catch anything. We all still really enjoyed ourselves! We can't wait to plan another trip! Both trips, all the guys were super nice and helpful. Sometimes you have to wait a bit if everyone's catching at the same time, but they try to get to you as fast as possible to unhook your fish and rehook your line if it snapped. Thanks for making both trips extremely enjoyable!!! We'll be back!

At each location the captain( overweight dude w long ponytail) kept drifting and couldn't stay on top of the fish which I believe resulted in us not catching very many fish. At one point as I was lying down in the passenger area as we were heading back I saw the captain run down into the men's restroom twice leaving no one in the wheelhouse as the boat was running! That's what a milk jug is for! Gonna try Fisherman's Wharf next time. As you can see in the video provided the fish was very slim pickings due to the captains inability to stay on top of the fish! He kept drifting!

Cole Park is an excellent amenity to Corpus living!…read more It is located just South of McGee Beach where Shoreline Blvd turns into Ocean Dr. Most visitors and tourists ignore it because it is not the beach, but once you get familiar with the park, you'll see all it has to offer. And it is quite large and currently under redevelopment with more improvements I remember when lockdowns ended in 2020 and public amenities became accessible again. This was one of the first parks I started to frequent again. I often go downtown for dining and work events, and find myself going for walks here afterwards.
