About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Brandon and learn why Port O’Connor provides some of the most prolific fishing experiences in Texas.

On these 5-hour (half-day) and 8-hour (full day) adventures, Captain Brandon will help you chase Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, and Sheepshead, some of POC’s best fish species. Captain Brandon will let you choose how you want to fish. You can choose between jigging, drifting, or bottom fishing. If you choose to wade fish, make sure you bring waders and wading boots.

For these trips, Captain Brandon uses a 21’ Shoalwater flats boat which can accommodate up to 4 anglers. His boat is equipped with a GPS and a fishfinder - two perfect additions to help reel in those trophy-sized fish.

Make sure to bring a valid Texas Fishing License, a hat, sunscreen, and any food and drinks of your choice (no glass). Captain Brandon will provide all rods, reels, and tackle. You can purchase live bait and fish cleaning for an additional price.

Learn to fish new techniques and create lasting memories on the water while reeling in your personal best with Captain Brandon!
