Fishing in Port O'Connor

Port O'Connor, Texas, delivers world-class fishing adventures across its legendary bay systems and Gulf waters. Anglers flock here for unmatched inshore action targeting coveted species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder in Matagorda Bay's pristine shallows. These nutrient-rich shallows also hold trophy Black Drum and Sheepshead year-round, while summer brings thrilling Tarpon runs through Pass Cavallo—the Gulf's only natural deep-water pass on the Texas coast.

Beyond the bays, offshore charters unlock battles with pelagic giants. Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna, and Mahi Mahi patrol deeper waters alongside structure-loving Snapper and Grouper. The area's unique geography—nestled between Matagorda Bay and Espiritu Santo Bay—offers versatile fishing environments, from wade-friendly flats to swift tidal channels swarming with Jack Crevalle and Sharks.

Whether pursuing record-sized "Gator" Speckled Trout inshore or wrestling Amberjack and Wahoo offshore, Port O'Connor's diverse ecosystems cater to all styles. Families enjoy half-day excursions, while serious anglers chase Sailfish at the continental shelf. With prime access to barrier islands and the Gulf, every trip promises Texas-sized action against Gulf Coast backdrops.

Port O'Connor Fishing Seasons

January

The start of the year is as solid as it gets in these parts. Whether it’s Specks, Redfish, or Black Drum, you can get a lot of work done with a skilled guide.

February

February is usually reserved for Speckled Trout fishing. They’ll be big, numerous, and generally unfazed by the windy conditions on the water.

March

As the temperatures slowly start to rise, we welcome spring fishing in Port O’Connor with open arms. Specks and Sheepshead are the flavors of the day, with some Jacks thrown into the mix as well.

April

The weather in April can be unpredictable, but that shouldn’t interfere with fishing too much. Redfish and Speckled Trout remain the main targets for inshore anglers.

May

This time of year usually means viable offshore fishing. Amberjack will be all over the deep waters, along with Kingfish and increasing numbers of Mahi Mahi.

June

June tends to mark the start of the federal Red Snapper season, meaning everybody will be trying to land as many of the bottom feeders as they possibly can!

July

It’s a great time to be fishing pretty much anywhere! Whether it’s inshore for Redfish or nearshore and offshore for Snapper, Kingfish, and Mahi Mahi, your work’s cut out for you.

August

It’s hot outside, but there’s also plenty of fish to catch. Mahi Mahi and Kingfish rule the offshore, while Specks reign in more shallow waters.

September

September is a great time to try your hand at Tuna fishing. Blackfins and Yellowfins will keep you very busy if you play your cards right.

October

The Redfish bite is so hot this time of year that the local jokingly call it “Red October.” Join the hunt in the inshore waters and hook some Bull Reds.

November

If going after Blue Marlin in the deep blue sounds like something up your alley, go for it! Alternatively, it’s a great time for some Flounder gigging.

December

Winter has set in and the inshore waters are very clear, making it a perfect time to do some sight casting inshore. A special treat for the fly anglers out there!

As expected it was busy being July 4th weekend, and the wind was real tough to cast where you wanted to, but our guide was great and got us in some calmer spots to get the job done.

Most of the time I have fished Port O’Conner I got my limit on redfish or trout; not so this time as redfish was slow and we failed to get our limit on trout for July 1st and July 2nd, but still had a good time.

4.7/5

David W.

Decide if you want to fish artificial for trout and reds or if live bait is more your style. There are big fish to catch and release also. Just look for the guide that suites what you want and not be disappointed.

Jerome G.

Stay calm, I know you have a big expectations because maybe you paid a lot. Give the Capt a chance to work his magic, because everyday is not the same, they have to adjust to everything that the day is giving at the moment. Once they figure it out, promise you'll have a blast!

Try out a charter service. Charter captains have a lot of great knowledge and you’re putting money back into a great community that welcomes you everytime. And grab some lunch on the way out!

Make sure to contact your captain before you book a trip. Ask questions about what fish are biting and explain what type of fish you are wanting to focus on. This helps your guide know what bait and tackle to take.

I highly recommend coming here around this time of year. You always here “ we went out but didn’t catch anything”. Well that wasn’t the case here. We caught fish the entire time we were here and got to take back enough food for a large fish fry. We will definitely be back.
