Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Great day with Capt Lynn Smith
6 Hour Trip on March 29, 20253 adults

Fishing in March can be unpredictable. This time was no exception. Wind had blown hard and we had lots of rain for several days before our scheduled trip. Capt. Smith thought the weather would settle and that he would find some fish, and he was right! We found a nice group of reds to test our rods. You couldn't ask for a better fishing guide.

Capt. Lynn Smith
Response from Captain

Thanks Ted you were great to fish with. I hope that we can do it again sometime soon in the future. It was truly a pleasure.

Capt. Lynn has been fishing Port O'Connor since 1968, but his fishing knowledge goes even further, since he was a little kid. He started his professional career as a fishing guide in 1994, and has since created a portfolio of satisfied customers.
