Saltwater fishing is my passion. I grew up in Kingsville, Texas fishing Baffin Bay as a child. I now live in Victoria and love to fish in the bays around Seadrift and Port O'Connor.

    Great trip!

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata (Mattina) • 2 adulti

    Had the best time with Captain Jon! I messaged him before hand to make sure I booked the right trip for the kind of fish we wanted to target and he messaged me back quickly to confirm the best trip. He worked his butt off to get us fish! We limited out on Red Fish (which is what we wanted to target), and got some drum and a few trout. Would highly recommend using Jon he did a fantastic job getting us on fish and moving when they would stop biting! He baited and cast our rods where he thought the fish would be! We will be booking more trips in the future!

    Good Fishing in Poor Weather

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata (Mattina) • 2 adulti

    What a day! High tide, windy and raining at times; we started trying to catch trout but water was to murky, so Captain Jon moved us around to locate the fish as we first got our limit on black drum, then went after redfish. We took home nice filets from these 16 fish. We released several other black and red drums that were too small or over the quota along with a few hardhead catfish. Captain Jon did an outstanding job of maneuvering us around to get the fish and a great trip!

    I came into town the night before and Captain Jon was able to not only accommodate me on short notice, but put me on the fish! Great guy with tons of knowledge, easy going and an all around good time!

    The Captain was great! He put us on fish right from the beginning. When things got slow at one spot, we moved on to the next. The Captain did a great job.

    Half Day evening trip with Captain Jon Mahan

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata (PM) • 2 adulti

    Well I really do not know how to describe our trip accurately. I have fished literally my entire life. We are fairly new to saltwater fishing so I booked three trips for my sons 19th birthday and each cancelled on us for various reasons. Captain Jon Mahan accepted a last minute booking and it was absolutely incredible. The first hour was good fishing. My son and I caught all the fish that we wanted to keep. The location we were fishing got a little crowded so Captain Jon moved us around a few times each time catching fish. Captain Jon then moved to another location that makes this hard to explain. For two solid hours we hooked into large Reds on every cast! We literally would cast and start counting. Before we could get to 10 the line would start running. We lost count very quickly on the number of Reds that we were catching. In the process catching 3 over slot! The thing that impressed me the most about the captain was his willingness to explain everything to us as we went. Why we moved, why we were casting where he told us to, how the fish schooled and how he suggested to bait our lines. When we had a question he answered. Needless to say we will defiantly be using his services in the future.

    Risposta del Capitano

    Gary, Thank you so much for your very kind review. I’m so glad you & your son had a great time! I enjoy fishing even on tough days, but days like this are what it’s all about! It literally was a fish on every cast…SO MUCH FUN! It was fun to watch the excitement you & your son had. Also, I appreciate your kind words about my explanations of location, casting, fish schooling, etc. I very much enjoy providing fishing information & techniques to my customers so they can learn in addition to catching fish. I hope we can do it again soon! ~ Capt Jon Mahan

Limits of Redfish Today

ott 11, 2026 • Port O'Connor
Today I had the opportunity to fish with Dennis and Theresa from the Houston area. This was an awesome trip. The redfish were so thick and feeding heavily with a falling tide that large shrimp could be seen jumping all over the place. The redfish were literally in a feeding frenzy gorging themselves as these crustaceans were being flushed out of the estuary. It did not take long for this couple to get a two man limit of redfish after the same thing they were feeding on was placed in from of them on a hook and leader. Dennis and Theresa will be enjoying several blackened redfish or redfish on the half-shell meals this week. Thank you for the trip, folks. I had just as much fun as you did! Capt. Jon

Double Limits on Live Shrimp

ott 10, 2026 • Port O'Connor
Today we fished the Chasco Tournament and were the only boat that I heard of that produced limits of both specked trout and redfish. All these fish were caught on live shrimp. Live shrimp is what these fish are naturally feeding on this time of year so it makes sense to use that as bait. The fall tides, a new moon and hurricane activity in the gulf have created near perfect conditions for catching trout and redfish around Port O' Connor, Texas. This successful trip would not have happened without the hard work, motivation and perseverance of these three awesome clients! Hats off to a job well done. Capt. Jon

Black Drum and Redfish Action

ott 9, 2026 • Port O'Connor
More delicious black drum and redfish hit the cleaning table today for my clients. Live shrimp was the ticket for this successful trip. I will personally filet the most common species (trout, redfish, drum & flounder) you catch and bag your catch up in ziplock bags at no additional charge. However, if you want to go catch sheepshead during the season I use a professional service to clean these wonderful eating fish because they can be tricky. The extra charge is $3 per fish. That is what I am charged. I do not make anything on sheepshead cleaning, I just want it to be done right for my clients so they can enjoy these tasty creatures free of all bones. Capt. Jon

I had the opportunity to fish with this wonderful family and they had the absolute greatest time reeling in all these big keeper redfish and wonderful eating black drum. The look on this young lady's face watching her reel in this giant redfish is the reason why I do what I do for a living! Capt. Jon

Nice Redfish and Black Drum Catch

set 26, 2026 • Port O'Connor
Caught some good eating sized black drum and a couple of nice redfish with some very happy repeat clients. They wanted wanted some drum filets to eat! Black drum is one of the best eating fish in the bay in my opinion as long at they are the small ones 14" - 17". Live shrimp worked best. Capt. Jon
