Second To None Charters is located in Port O’Connor and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Joshua will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Redfish, Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, King Mackerel, Trout, Sharks, and Snapper, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, jigging, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 21’ Yamaha 210 Fish Sport boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet, an ice-box, and a wireless trolling motor.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. The boat will be supplied with drinks for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Second To None Charters.

Half Day Trip – Private (AM)

Father & Son fishing trip

VERIFIED

On our first saltwater fishing excursion, Captain Josh provided exceptional guidance. My four-year-old son thoroughly enjoyed the experience, engaging in numerous inquiries with Captain Josh, who diligently addressed each one, even those that repeated themselves. We promptly booked our next trip on the same day. Captain Josh’s professionalism and friendly demeanor made the experience truly memorable. For anyone seeking a fishing excursion, I highly recommend booking with Captain Josh, as he offers an unparalleled service.

Aww.. thank you so much! I love a good review but fishing was horrible once the wind picked up lol, although it didn't take long.... raised many kid... and they are the reason why we do this (mostly). Enjoyed the short trip with you all regardless of the fishing!

6 Hour Trip Am - Private

Awesome Trip

VERIFIED

Despite being a brisk morning, the wind and waves were no trouble. Captain Josh’s Yamaha FSH kept us dry as a desert with high walls that kept all the wake splashing out. He took us to a great spot, taught us some good technique and explained fish behavior. We had a fun day with good action from red and black drum. You could fish the gulf coast your whole life and still learn a ton of new things from charter captains, and Captain Josh was very exceptional in his field. The trolling motor, a Minn Kota Terrova, was a beast and had us positioned with ease for hours. If you’re reading my review and are having trouble deciding on a charter (that was me too), try Second to None Charters. It was worth it and we’ll be reaching back out to Captain Josh Estes next time we’re in Port O’Connor.

Special 6 hour trip for Scott Mcneel

Great time catching Reds

VERIFIED

Captain Josh did a great job putting us on some reds despite tough conditions. We were one of the few boats that came home with dinner, and wow, delicious table fare, among the best we’ve had. We took our catch to Hurricane Junction - fresh wild blackened red fish, amazing! The sanctuary was beautiful too. Unique style of fishing, shallow water. Cool experience!
