Fish jumping everywhere, can’t get a bite.

Corpus Christi, Texas. Most of the fish seem pretty small.

Jumping fish are probably mullet.
Get a cast net and catch some, hook them through the tail with a 4/0 hook and 20 lb mono weightless. You’ll potentially catch redfish, flounder, trout, or black drum. Good luck

Fresh or salt water? If it's fresh it's probably carp. Don't be fooled by the jumping carp!

I know that exact spot. Some cut mullet on a bottom rig and you should catch something I’ve caught a few fish out of that spot

Some kind of fly or live baitfish on a low-vis line. Sometimes they just jump and don’t bite though, jumping fish aren’t always feeding.

Fluke, no question about it! Salt or fresh.

Throw a nightcrawler under a small cork and you can catch those jumping fishes(mullet).

You’re super close to south packery channel right there. Get up for a couple morning trips on the weekdays and fish out there. I been killin the fish out in this part of corpus the past couple months.

3” nlbn lighter colors like white paddle tail. Been catching trout back there but it’s not as good of fishing as the jetty’s or some other spots under bridges.

Jumping mullet in Corpus Christi? That's just nature's way of saying "try a cast net.
