Offshore Fishing Trips

Deep Sea Adventure When the Gulf Cooperates

Ready to venture beyond the bays and into deeper blue water? Backlash Charters offers occasional offshore trips out of Corpus Christi, available only when weather and sea conditions align. These trips are perfect for anglers seeking an adrenaline-filled day targeting kingfish, sharks, and other offshore giants.


Unlike our daily inshore charters, these offshore excursions are booked selectively to ensure your safety and maximize your chances of success. When the Gulf is calm and the fish are biting, we’ll head out and put you in the action.

What to Expect on an Offshore Trip

Conditions-Based Scheduling

Offshore trips are not offered daily — they depend on:



  • Wind speed and wave height
  • Tidal shifts and barometric pressure
  • Seasonal fish migration and activity


Captain Grant reviews marine forecasts daily and will advise on the best days to book an offshore excursion. These trips are announced and accepted only when it’s safe, productive, and enjoyable to fish beyond the bays.

Departure & Trip Length

  • Trip Length: Typically 6 to 8 hours
  • Departure Time: 6:00 AM
  • Return: Around 2:00 PM
  • Group Size: 2–4 anglers recommended


We’ll travel into the Gulf to fish deeper reefs, rigs, or open water lines depending on the day’s plan and the species targeted.

Offshore Species You Might Catch

These trips focus on larger, hard-fighting offshore species found nearshore and beyond:


  • Kingfish (King Mackerel) – Fast, aggressive, and exciting to catch
  • Sharks – Blacktip, spinner, and other in-season varieties
  • Jack Crevalle – Powerful fighters that test your gear and strength
  • Spanish Mackerel – Seasonal and fun on light tackle
  • Cobia or Snapper (in season) – Available during limited windows


We use a mix of trolling, live bait drift fishing, and jigging to match the target species and sea state.
