Spring along the Coastal Bend is one of the best-kept secrets in Texas fishing. From mid-April through June, the bays and flats surrounding Corpus Christi and Portland come alive with speckled trout, redfish, flounder, and black drum — and anglers who know the area are already staking their claim. If you’re looking for an RV park near Corpus Christi that puts you right in the middle of the action, Portland RV Park at 601 US-181 in Portland, TX is your ideal spring fishing base camp. With full hookups, all utilities included, bay-adjacent views, and a new city fishing pier just down the street, there’s no better place to park your rig and wet a line this season.
April and May mark the peak of spring fishing season across the Corpus Christi Bay system, Aransas Bay, and the Laguna Madre. Water temperatures rise into the ideal range for speckled trout and redfish to move into the shallows, making wade fishing and kayak fishing especially productive. The area’s extensive grass flats, jetties, and bay shorelines offer world-class inshore fishing just minutes from Portland RV Park.
This spring is especially exciting for Coastal Bend anglers. The Fishing for Wishes Tournament is set for April 18, 2026 at the Aransas Pass Civic Center — a short drive from Portland. The 2026 Saltwater Fishing Tournament in Corpus Christi runs April 24–25, drawing competitive anglers from across Texas. Whether you’re here to compete or just to enjoy the bite, spring 2026 is shaping up to be a banner season on the Texas coast.
For RV travelers and extended-stay guests, having a reliable, affordable RV park near Corpus Christi means you can stay for the full run of the season — not just a weekend. Portland RV Park’s monthly rates and all-inclusive utilities make it easy to settle in, fish hard, and not worry about surprise bills at checkout.

For anglers who want to fish at sunrise without a long commute, it doesn’t get more convenient than this.
The park operates on a quiet, no-frills model that suits serious anglers perfectly. No resort noise, no crowded pool decks — just a clean, stable pad, full hookups, and easy access to the water.

One of the biggest advantages of staying at Portland RV Park during spring fishing season is the sheer variety of fishing access within a short drive. Here’s a look at the top spots anglers are hitting this spring:

A local favorite for families and serious anglers alike, Indian Point Pier extends into Corpus Christi Bay and offers consistent action for a variety of inshore species. It’s a short drive from the park and a great option for early morning or evening sessions.
The expansive grass flats of Corpus Christi Bay are world-renowned for wade fishing and kayak fishing. Spring brings speckled trout and redfish into the shallows in force. Launch points are accessible within minutes of Portland RV Park via US-181.

For those willing to make the drive down to Port Aransas or South Padre, the Laguna Madre offers some of the clearest, most productive shallow-water fishing in the state. Spring is prime time for sight-casting to tailing redfish in the back bays.
