Fishing Report

I'm thrilled to share my latest fishing expedition in the serene waters of Port O'Connor. Today was a day filled with excitement, camaraderie, and of course, plenty of fish tales to tell. Setting out early in the morning, the anticipation was palpable as our boat sliced through the calm waters of the bay. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden hue over the horizon, promising a day of great catches. Our first spot was near the jetties, where the water churned with activity. It didn't take long before we felt the tug on our lines. The redfish were plentiful, putting up a spirited fight as we reeled them in one by one. Their vibrant scales shimmered in the morning light, a testament to the beauty of these waters. As the day progressed, we ventured further into the bay, exploring different fishing grounds and trying our luck at various techniques. From drifting along grassy flats to casting near oyster reefs, each location offered its own unique charm and bounty. One highlight of the day was hooking into a massive speckled trout. It was a battle of strength and skill, with the fish darting this way and that, testing the limits of my tackle. But with patience and determination, I finally landed the prized catch, a trophy-worthy specimen that will surely be the envy of my fishing buddies. Of course, no fishing trip would be complete without some friendly competition. We kept a tally of our catches throughout the day, each of us vying for the title of "master angler." The banter and laughter filled the air, creating memories that will last a lifetime. As the sun began to dip below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange, we reluctantly called it a day. But our hearts were full, knowing that we had experienced the magic of Port O'Connor once again. So to all fellow anglers out there, if you're seeking adventure and unforgettable fishing experiences, look no further than Port O'Connor. With its pristine waters, abundant marine life, and welcoming community, it's a paradise for anyone who loves the thrill of the chase and the tranquility of nature. Until next time, tight lines and happy fishing!

This was one of the best experiences my family had!! Top-of-the-line equipment and gear. Captain Dave was amazing. He did not waste time finding the best location for us. We got on the fish early and stayed on them all day. If you’re thinking about booking a fishing trip I highly recommend you book with Bay Bandits. I can’t say enough great things about our experience with him!

May 15, 2025

Dave was so AWESOME! To say that we had a great time would be an understatement, yesterday our trip was just fantastic - I can’t say enough good things about our Captain Dave & our trip! From the second we got to Froggies til the minute we got off the boat at 9pm…Worth every single penny! Dave is a professional in every sense of the word! He went out of the way to get us the fish we wanted to catch! He took us right to the spot where they were and caught them in no time… Dave knows what he’s doing, he has top notch equipment and he was great company! The boat was a a beauty and i was impressed with every so single part of this trip… and I have some pretty high standards, I’m not easily impressed. Dave you rock! This was my second time fishing ever, and I caught several sharks and a 40 in redfish. Dave helped me and explained everything to me. So I felt confident about what I was doing! My boyfriend broke his record and caught a 44 inch redfish! And a HUGE BULL SHARK. We had so much fun, can’t wait to go back! Don’t waste your time with anyone else. This is where it’s at!!! This was the most fun & relaxing fishing trip. Thanks again Dave, you made it a day that Matt & I will never forget!
