Red October has been good. The back bays and jetties have been producing big boxes of fish. Big schools of slot reds are ganging up at the jetties making for some crazy mornings. On the other hand, Flounder gigging has been challenging. Water conditions have been tough, with low tide and crazy high tides and cloudy water, but we are still producing good numbers of fish. No two nights are the same!

Redfish still have been taking the spotlight.
Sand, grass, mud or shell it doesn't matter. Water temps are dropping at night and these fish are eating like crazy.

Lots of redfish still in our muddier lakes. We're still catching them 90+ degree, 2-3 ft water. Cracked crab and mullet is the bait of choice.

Summer has officially started in Port O’ Connor. There are 3 major bay systems in Port O’Connor, west matagorda bay, Espiritu Bay, and San Antonio Bay. Each one has its own characteristics and each present a challenge on finding good fish. Espiritu Bay has been producing solid trout on top water baits in the early morning and plastics such as down south lures. The trout have moved from the mud from the back lakes and sloughs to the sand of the south shore lines and sand bars, as the day gets warmer they move from the flats to the deeper...

Summer has officially started in Port O’ Connor. There are 3 major bay systems in Port O’Connor, west matagorda bay, Espiritu Bay, and San Antonio Bay. Each one has its own characteristics and each present a challenge on finding good fish. Espiritu Bay has been producing solid trout on top water baits in the early morning and plastics such as down south lures. The trout have moved from the mud from the back lakes and sloughs to the sand of the south shore lines and sand bars, as the day gets warmer they move from the flats to the deeper guts and then back to the flats as the evening arrives and the bait moves back onto the flats. The redfish have also been producing very well this summer and can be caught on top water and plastics as well.
West matagorda bay has been on fire as of late and the trout have been in an abundance on the sandbars and flats. The bull reds have been epic this year in deeper waters from bird island all the way into the jetties early in the morning and have been caught on jigs.
San Antonio Bay has been a little slower on producing fish but they are starting to turn on too. Each bay has oyster reefs, sand, and grass pockets which all present a different challenge on how to fish and be successful on getting a limit of trout and reds.
As the we get into July and august the fish are going to move into deeper water to stay cool so we always have to be aware of water temperature and tidal movement. Also the months of July and august are great for going to the surf because we hardly get any wind in those months which keeps the surf calm and there are some big trout and reds that hang out on the gulf side of the barrier islands.

Rockport has been steady with good trout holding in the deeper water in late morning. Red fish are still hit or miss. Still having best results on wade trips.
Lower Laguana: nice trout being caught on croaker and artificial up and down the king ranch shore line. Best bite is early morning. Once the winds pick up, bite is dying off quickly.

    Very much enjoyed the trip. Caught several reds and 4 were keepers. Learned an great deal from Capt Travis about fishing in these waters. It was information I can use on my next trip out. Thanks Travis.

    Tommy is a great guide. He has decades of experience. He has a jet boat to get to the shallows to find the big fish. Second trip with Tommy and hope to have more!

    Capt Jody is a hard working guide. It wasn't the easiest day fishing wise with the trout not really biting. Jody worked until we found them.

    Our fishing experience with Travis was a great one! Travis was very knowledgeable about the waters, the best fishing spots, and what it took to make our trip successful. He was friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the entire experience. We had a wonderful time. We caught 13 black drum and one big red drum. We would definitely recommend Travis to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced fishing guide. We look forward to fishing with him again!!!! FISH ON!!!

    Hell of a guide. Not just the fishing knowledge or the amount of dedication he put into getting us on the fish, but the shear gratitude and easy to get along with attitude this guy has that can break the ice for any customers that are anywhere from shy and nervous to very talkative and conversational. This is the example of what you want and need for a fishing guide.

    What a great experience we had fishing with Ben! He was super quick to respond, friendly, and punctual. My wife, son and myself had so much fun catching our limit of trout. I would HIGHLY recommend spending some time with Captain Ben. Just a real good guy who knows where to catch some fish! Will definitely book with him again.

    First time boat fishing for half our crew, and we all had fun. Even though the fish were barely biting today, Captain Toby moved to several spots in every effort to get us all to hook a fish.
