We specialize in navigating the vibrant backcountry and expansive flats that make this region a legendary destination for anglers. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a first-timer, our goal is to provide an immersive outdoor experience that highlights the very best of the local ecosystem.
Our excursions are centered in the heart of Port O’Connor, TX, where the diverse habitat supports a massive variety of prized game fish. Depending on the season, we target hard-fighting Redfish, trophy Spotted Seatrout, elusive Tripletail, and Flounder. We utilize a range of effective techniques tailored to the conditions, including light tackle drifting and bottom fishing, ensuring you have the best possible chance of landing a memorable catch.
We take great pride in hosting family-friendly fishing trips that create lasting memories for all generations. Captain Lynn is passionate about introducing young anglers to the sport in a safe, educational, and engaging environment. Our 24-foot bay boat is perfectly equipped to handle up to four passengers comfortably, providing a stable platform for kids and adults alike to enjoy a day on the water.
For those who prefer a more intimate connection with the environment, we also offer specialized wading fishing opportunities. Stepping out of the boat and into the shallow flats allows you to stealthily pursue fish in areas larger vessels can't reach. To ensure a seamless day of adventure, we provide all the necessary rods, reels, and lures, though we always recommend bringing your favorite polarized sunglasses, sunblock, and snacks to keep your energy up.

Fishing in March can be unpredictable, and this trip proved just that. Strong winds and several days of rain had left the waters challenging, but Capt. Smith was confident the conditions would improve—and he was right! We soon located a solid group of redfish, perfect for putting our rods to the test. You truly couldn’t ask for a better guide on the water.
