Salty Peters Guide Service operates out of Port O'Connor and offers fishing trips within the area year round. Captain Jon has been fishing the Port O'Connor/Seadrift area (West Matagorda, Espiritu Santo, and San Antonio Bays) for over 20 years. During the trip, Capt. Jon educates anglers as to why the fish are in that location and where they are headed. You will be treated to knowledge of the history of the area. You can either wade or fish from the boat.

You will leave from a private dock.

Your trip will take place on a 26' Mowdy catamaran that accommodates up to 4 guest with a T-top which is perfect for shade in the Texas summers. This bay boat is perfect for exploring the back bays and/or shorelines.

Trips include fish cleaning.

It's easy to get ready for a trip with Salty Peters Guide Service. Secure your place on the boat on time and join the action.

Its fishing not catching!!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on May 9, 20262 adults
We had a great time. The fishing was slow, but theres nothing anyone couldve done about that I really appreciated the fact that Captain John put his fishing knowledge to work doing everything he could to get us on fish. we ended up catching two black drum, one of them being a keeper and a bunch of hardheads. We will definitely book again!!

Knows the water!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on April 4, 20263 adults
Jon works the water year round and knows the current fish patterns. He obviously has spent time marking great spots and can give appropriate technical guidance. He seemlessly interacted with everyone in our group, from a 16 year old girl to the adults. We enjoyed catching fish with him and hope to book another trip in the future.
Reported catch:
Speckled Trout
Redfish
Black Drum

Wonderful experience!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on February 21, 20262 adults
Captain Peters was wonderful! He was a wealth of information regarding all things fishing. My husband has more experience fishing than I do, and he was quick to offer support and help when needed, and sit back and let the fishing happen when not. He was very friendly and personable. Would definitely recommend and will be using again!

GREAT day of fishing
5 Hour Trip (AM) on April 30, 20262 adults
Captain Jon was awesome. He put us on fish right away and we continued catching 'em throughout the entire trip. If the bite slowed down, he didn't hesitate to quickly move to a new location where we could more expect action. We'll be fishing with him again as soon as we can!
