Reel Salty Charters
Book your next trip with Reel Salty Charters and find out what you’re missing in Port O’Connor. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Timothy is prepared to put you on fish.
species like Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Speckled Trout, and more are in the cards if conditions are right. On these trips, it’s common to drift and bottom fish using light tackle. Capt. Timothy can also take you Flounder gigging.
The fish caught are yours to keep, so long as they meet regulations. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. How’s that for fresh seafood?
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to stay fueled throughout your trip!
You’ll be casting lines from a 25’ Tran Sport center console with space for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.
You will need to buy 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 never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Reel Salty Charters!

What a day on the water!
Reel Salty Charters! What can I say but Captain Tim Strakos is Da Man! He was well prepared, he had everything I didn’t need to bring what I brought but I know for the next trip I plan. He was very well informed about not only the water but the fish, where they would be and at what time, he went out and pre fished all the areas the day before to ensure we would hookup almost every time we dropped the line, I wanted to use my 8 weight fly rod and he had not 1 but 2 spot picked out just for me, you can’t ask for any more special treatment then that. The boat ride was good regardless of the wind and chops Captain Tim put safety first at all time and as an old retired disabled veterans we really appreciated that. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to go fishing in Port O’Connor,Tx. Thank You Captain Tim

Captain Tim is a true professional that will put you on fish. We booked last minute and the communication was fast and easy. We were catching fish immediately and before long Captain Tim put us on a Tarpon. 10/10 wouldn’t change a single thing about our day on the bay.

Fishing with Timothy
Tim was fantastic. We caught fish in every spot he took us to,(despite the crazy wind and super busy waters). Before we got off the boat we were already talking to him about our next trip out with him. I highly recommend this charter to anyone.

Absolutely amazing
The captain was super nice and very knowledgeable. We caught some massive reds and drums during our trip and he even took us to catch sharks just because I mentioned it was on my list as a new fisherman. Overall absolutely amazing time and I'm 100% positive if you have never been on a fishing boat or just want to have a great time catching some monster fish definitely worth it.

Best Valentines Gift
We planned to go on Valentines weekend but noticed the weather was 20 degrees warmer the weekend before. Tim was very knowledgeable about the terrain, took us to multiple areas for the fish we were targeting. He was well prepared and a gracious host. We limited out on Reds and have wonderful memories to talk about for years. We can’t thank him enough. Book him. You won’t regret it.
