I'm planning on moving to Corpus this summer. I need help with some decent places I can go wade fishing without a kayak or boat. Any help would be appreciated. Also recommendations on wade fishing setups. Thank you so much!!!

Packery channel, Packery jetties, Port A jetties, surf...

There is/was a thread on here with boat-less fishing spots...

Anywhere along Laguna Shores Road. That's where I started all my fishing when I was first came to Texas. Still fish there, but now that I have a boat I don't have to get wet anymore

I'd say the obvious answer is to get a boat.
Canoe, kayak....something.
Paddle upwind, drift back to your launch point.
Just kidding, that never works. The wind will shift and you'll have to paddle back to your vehicle.
Zia's suggestion is spot-on, though.
A drift through the area with DOA or Vudu shrimp will usually result in a limit of trout. Start dark and early and you can have the added excitement of the topwater bite.

Finding a place to wade fish will be one of your easiest problems to solve. Of coarse the ease of getting to those locations will largely depend on where you live, so you might think about your choice of locations when you get to CC. All of the bays are accessable by wading, as is the surf, so picking your pillow location will make things easier. Good luck, and enjoy!

Thank you so much for all the replies. Donnie I would love to go surf fishing with you. I really appreciate the offer. Zia could you message a few more details on Laguna Shores like places to park etc. Thanks again. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.

Wow
Some good stuff here to assist another angler.
I wish I had know of this site six years ago when we made our first trip south
I came to NPI with no tackle and never had fished in salt water. No expert now but success rate is improving.
Atta boy to all who are posting tips.
I also will monitor as an opportunity for an improvement in my fishing

I surf fish 99% of the time now but here is a link that has helped me for wading and shore fishing spots in the past.

I also fish the surf most of the time. You will learn to read the surf and pick out washouts between the guts. Those are fish highways. Other great places to fish without a boat are: Packery jetties, Packery Park, Bob Hall Pier, Bird Island boat launch area. There is a trail around it and you can walk north to some great wading spots. I've caught limits of trout and reds there. In the winter, you can fish the channels in Padre Isles where there are no homes.
