    Captain John put us in the right spots. Slower bite, with his experience he put us in the right spots to catch some fish. Thanks for the good time.

    Big Reds

    Day started a little slow but ended day in a honey hole. We were doubling and tripling up on big reds. Pure chaos to finish an adventure!

What's biting with First Cast Guide Service in Port O'Connor

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.
