Port O'Connor's location along the middle Texas coast provides access to some of the state's most productive fishing waters. The area features extensive shallow bay systems, grass flats, oyster reefs, and deeper channels that create ideal habitat for a variety of gamefish species. Water temperatures remain relatively stable throughout much of the year, supporting active fish populations even during cooler months.
The fishing here is heavily influenced by tidal movements, wind direction, and seasonal baitfish migrations. Spring and fall typically offer the most consistent action as fish move through the area during their seasonal patterns. Summer fishing can be excellent early and late in the day, while winter often provides some of the year's best opportunities for larger fish in deeper water. Understanding these patterns and adjusting techniques accordingly is key to consistent success in these waters.
Our fishing charters depart from Port O'Connor's marina facilities, where you'll meet Captain Pat Lester and receive a brief orientation about the day's fishing plan.
