1. Red Dot Pier

One of the most popular Corpus Christi fishing spots is Red Dot Pier, which is located on North Padre Island. Pier fishing is particularly popular because it combines easy access to the water, while also offering safety and convenience. With lots of space for people to fish, easy access to supply stores nearby, and good lighting for nighttime fishing, it is no surprise that this is considered one of the best spots around for fishing! Some of the most common fish to catch at this pier include Redfish, Tarpon, and Trout.

2. Cos Way Pier

Another of the Corpus Christi fishing spots that is located on North Padre Island is Cos Way Pier, which offers many of the same conveniences that are available at nearby Red Dot Pier. However, the types of fish that are most commonly caught at Cos Way Pier are Speckled Trout and Black Drum, as opposed to the Redfish, Tarpon, and Trout at Red Dot Pier. Fortunately, since these two locations are close together, you can easily visit them both!

3. Upper Laguna Madre
