With easy access to prime nearshore waters, it's no wonder such a quaint bayside town has so many modern sportfishing boats. Nearshore trips often return with a mixed bag of snapper and grouper species, with opportunities for kingfish and amberjack. The best time to catch amberjack is when the waters are warming up in the spring while the summer months produce amazing snapper opportunities. Kingfish are both a trophy and a treat for these nearshore waters and are biting year round.
Port O'Connor Deep Sea Fishing

Port O'Connor Wahoo and Mahi-Mahi Fishing
These fish are a fantastic duo that provides a year round bite in offshore waters. Mah-Mahi is red hot in warm water temperatures during the summer months, while wahoo turns on with cooler waters in the winter months. With tuna, sailfish, and other bluewater species always lurking in these waters, you may end up hooked into a monster.
