About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Collin and embark on a fishing escapade through the waters of Port O’Connor!

Whether it’s your first time on the water or you are a seasoned professional, this trip is for you. Captain Collin has 20+ years of experience fishing the waters of Port O’Connor and will lead you to where the fish bite. Expect to target Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, and Red Snapper (depending on the season).

For these 6-hour (half-day) and 9-hour (full day) trips, Captain Collin uses his 23’ Shoalwater center console boat which can accommodate 6 anglers. He will provide everything you need to have a productive day on the water, including all rods, reels, and tackle. He will also have bottled water on board as well as an ice chest for your day’s catch. All you need to bring is a valid Texas fishing license and any food and drinks of your choice (no glass).

Captain Collin also can accommodate wade fishing. You'll need your own waders and wading boots in the winter months, but feel free to stalk ‘em in skinny water in a bathing suit or shorts in the warmer spring and summer months. We recommend wading trips for anglers with more experience.

Have a blast with Captain Collin!

About Your Guide

Collin G.

Independent Guide 12 years of exp.

Captain Collin has been fishing and hunting the waters of Port O’Connor for over 20 years, and has been a full-time resident of POC since 2008. He started guiding in 2012 after friends and family recognized his gift and passion for the outdoors.

Captain Collin is a licensed guide, and is also a licensed ship captain with a degree from Texas A&M in Marine Science. You can rest assured your inshore or offshore trip will be safe and professional, and Captain Collin will be sure to point out other marine species you come across while chasing Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and more.

Captain Collin regularly fishes West Matagorda Bay, Espiritu Santo Bay, and San Antonio Bay. All rods, reels, bait & terminal tackle are provided, as well as all fuel, ice, bottled water, fish cleaning and bagging, and a cooler for your drinks and snacks. Be sure to give us a call regarding Captain Collin's military/law enforcement discounts!

Collin also guides fantastic duck hunts, so if wingshooting is more your speed, book a trip with him and come home with some delicious birds!
