Brandon — better known as Texas Gulf Fish Hunter — moved to Corpus Christi from the mountains of Appalachia and never looked back. Now he's one of the most recognizable fishing content creators on TikTok, going live from the Texas coast and sharing the kind of knowledge most fishermen keep to themselves: where the fish are, why they're there, and how to put yourself in the best position to catch them.
In this episode of the Corpus Christi Originals Podcast, we talk about how a random TikTok live turned into a massive fishing community, the science behind reading the water (barometric pressure, moon phases, water temp, and more), why he gives away information other people guard like a secret, his leaders at RNG Bait in Flower Bluff, the drone fishing ban, the desalination plant debate, and what it actually takes to catch fish consistently on the Texas Gulf Coast.
Plus rapid fire: live bait vs. artificials, best post-fishing burger in Corpus, and the best time of year to fish the coast.
