Port O'Connor sits at the heart of Texas coastal fishing, offering anglers access to Matagorda Bay's shallow flats and the deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The area's diverse structure includes oyster reefs, grass flats, and nearshore oil rigs that attract a variety of gamefish throughout the year. Captain Pat knows these waters intimately, from the productive back lakes to the offshore fishing grounds where larger species roam.
The fishing here changes with the seasons, but Port O'Connor consistently produces action for anglers willing to adapt their techniques. Spring and fall typically offer the most comfortable weather and active fish, while summer provides excellent early morning and evening fishing opportunities.
Port O'Connor's fishing success depends heavily on weather patterns, tides, and seasonal movements of baitfish. Captain Pat monitors these conditions daily, adjusting fishing locations and techniques accordingly. The area's shallow bays warm quickly in spring, attracting fish from deeper winter haunts, while fall brings excellent fishing as baitfish schools move through the area.
Wind direction plays a crucial role in fishing success here, with protected areas available regardless of conditions. The diverse habitat means we can target different species based on guest preferences and current conditions, from sight-casting in shallow water to bottom fishing over structure.
Our fishing charters depart from Port O'Connor's marina facilities, with easy access to both bay and Gulf waters.
