Fishing DOWNTOWN for Mangrove Snapper (Corpus Christi, Tx)

[@DavidSmith-sb2yz]

I always catch odd things. Cutlassfish, eel, crab, stripes cup.

[@richiet2222]

Stripes cup 😂

[@ramirovallejoiii324]

Was out there yesterday morning and they were hitting left and right. Good fishing fellas 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Glad you got on some! Thanks for watching 🙌

[@randysmith2866]

Admire your patience in getting them out of the rocks! I remember catching many of the at the SPI jetties on the channel side many years ago. We used a float to keep us out of the rocks since many of these mangroves like to hold up there.

[@randomuser1596]

Best spot for Mangroves ive found is the back of Janes L Head facing those rocks. Ive caught several 13 plus inches.

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Solid ones! My gf caught a 15 the other morning same spot 🔥

[@rammone5241]

I love these mangroves videos, great job. I got that same reel, light and fast action , works good around.

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Great reel thanks for watching!

[@GGAnglers]

Nice fishing man! Looks like ima start using finger mullet for Mangroves!!🔥🔥💪

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Finger mullet is the way to go 🔥

[@fisherman52a]

Use a small bait net to help keep the shrimp alive longer

[@user-ru1jz9cq2y]

Used to catch some huge gafftop there back in the day

[@brandonmolina711]

Great video bro! Love the view🔥🔥

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Was such a nice morning bro! Nobody else around either 🔥

[@75gremlen]

Nice vid..didn't know they had them downtown lol...now I know where to go..ty for the nice vid badass

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Appreciate ya good luck!

[@jerrilynn5780]

Watch for those rattle snakes when fishing out there! There are some big ones!

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Dang! Thanks for the heads up

[@christophervela5447]

Never seen rattle snakes out on jetties

[@moolieboy]

@@christophervela5447 That's where the rats are, that's where the snakes are. Stay outta the dunes too. There's three different species of rattlesnakes in the padre dunes.

[@snapper7396]

Finger mullet and small perch best mangrove bait! Also when sun high use cut mullet

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Agreed!

[@TheRussLee]

Nice. I'll have to go down there and check it out

[@billyin4c514]

Great action man!

[@felixlinan8560]

Nothing like a good day of fishing 🎣. 💪💯👍🙏

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Yes sir!

[@Bilbo_dankinz]

Ive been enjoying the videos alot! Im down here for work for a few months and appreciate the help to get setup. Are all these areas active now (December) as they are in summer?

[@EVERYDAYBEACHLIFE]

Another great video brother!

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

[@maifishinglife]

Nice video! Enjoyed this one

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@richb8303]

How deep is the water on the bay side of the sea wall? Nice video.

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Not sure exactly how deep I was letting my lure sink 5-6 seconds before working it in the trout video I made out there

[@christophervela5447]

Ey you're doing really great man
Good energy keep it up 🤘

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Always appreciate the kind words Chris!

[@christophervela5447]

@Eric_Castillo_Fishing also adding the narrative of it's a good place to bring a gf or family...more families could benefit from fishing together man 👍

[@seanmedcalf8609]

Great video man great tasting fish I’ve fished down there in a boat and caught some huge mangroves a little further down from there tight lines sir

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Thank you!

[@seanmedcalf8609]

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

[@blancaacatlblanco9973]

Hi I’m sorry where exactly is it at trying to go there

[@TheGirlInYellowRainCoat]

Hey! Christopher Vela told me about this video of you catching mangrove snapper and we went there yesterday and today we caught our PBs mangrove snapper! Thanks man! #TheGirlInYellowRainCoat

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Congrats!🔥

[@christophervela5447]

​@Eric_Castillo_Fishing ey we freakin did awesome man I caught about a 16incher 😂❤😮
So freaking fun
Thank you so much
Without this content, we would've never tried this spot. It made our trip worth it. Day 1 we went to the beach and dropped bait with the drone .....I almost caught my pb grass fish 😅. About 100lb one.
Day 2 well yep

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

@@christophervela5447 glad y’all were able to get on em! Congrats on the PB’s💪

[@johnpd2131]

Cool video. I'm curious why if you're using 30 lb line you would need a 30 lb leader. Wouldn't it work just as well to tie the hook directly on your main line, or does the leader serve some purpose?

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Anytime fishing the jetty you want to use mono or Fluoro leader bc of the rocks. Braided line cuts instantly when a fish gets you into the rocks, the leader is much more flexible and as you saw in the vid allowed me to free several fish that had me stuck.

[@johnpd2131]

@@Eric_Castillo_Fishing thank you so much for the explanation. I had no idea that braided would get easily cut in the rocks!

[@SaltyDwyane]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ryantran5660]

Where at

[@randomuser1596]

On the rockwall behind the T head

[@bradfox4632]

Thanks for the nice video! I had no idea they were even in our bay. For what it is worth, please dispatch or bleed your fish right away. Letting them suffocate is not good for the meat or the fish. Secondly, please only keep 10 inches or longer and only take what you can eat right away. Frozen snapper is just not worth it. Just my two cents. Please keep making videos, I really enjoy local spots.

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

I should’ve bled them, definitely will next time! We ate all of em right away, made great fish tacos 🔥 next video is another great local spot!

[@tonyfc8809]

question from a rookie fisherman: If I drive down to corpus from San Antonio what species of fish are worth keeping on ice for the trip back and to be put in the freezer?

[@xpressfishing1985]

I’d say 12” minimum. A 10” mangrove barely has any meat

[@John.Hoang91]

Can you tell me the address?

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Bayfront jetty

[@bignsexie1]

grill the whole fish

[@charlesachinelli3857]

No tape measure. Wth

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

😂

[@gsppuffer]

Good shit will be down 18-22

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Good luck to y’all!

[@HollywoodHal47]

Too small!

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Thanks!
