Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.

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!

Most amazing fishing experience
Full Day Trip on August 23, 20253 adults
We had an absolutely amazing trip with Captain Tim Strakos from Reel Salty Charters in Port O’Connor! From start to finish, Captain Tim made the experience fun, professional, and memorable. We caught a variety of fish including Red Drum, Kingfish, and Sheepshead, and he knew all the right spots to put us on the action. Not only did we have a blast reeling in some great catches, but the entire day was filled with laughs, learning, and unforgettable memories on the water. Captain Tim’s knowledge of the area and dedication to making sure we had a great time really stood out. If you’re looking for a charter in Port O’Connor, look no further than Reel Salty Charters—you won’t be disappointed. We’ll definitely be booking again!

We had so much fun and made wonderful family memories. Capt. Tim was so patient and kind with us especially with our over inquisitive 8 year old son. 😜 He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and caught a variety of different fish.

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.
