Seas are flat and the Tuna bite is great out of Port O`Connor Texas. We have caught 57 Blackfin Tuna in the last 6 charters behind Shrimp boats about 60 miles out. Cobia, Dolphin, Shark and King Mackerel are plentiful at the Shrimp boats. The Tuna are 15-25 pounds, fight like torpedoes and are great table fare. We are catching some nice Snapper also, a couple of 18 pounders yesterday. Fishing should stay great or maybe even get better from now to October. Let`s go fishing!

7/10/06

Offshore fishing out of Port O`Connor Texas continues to heat up. Limits of Red Snapper and Amberjack were caught Saturday along with Dorado, Barracuda, Shark and Blackfin Tuna. Seas were flat and blue. Lots of weed lines holding Dorado. We caught a 28 pound bull along with several nice females. Fishing should be great for the next several months. I have open dates. Let's go fishing!

Offshore was great this weekend out of Port O`Connor Texas. We took limits of Red Snapper and Amberjack. 40 and a 35 pound Amberjack. Anglers caught a couple nice Blackfin Tuna Friday and Saturday. It is great to see the Blackfin show up so early this year. Big Sharks and King Mackerel are a common catch also. Seas were about 2 feet or less all weekend. Let`s go fishing!

6/13/06

Offshore action is getting right out of Port O'Connor Texas. Seas are flat and the water is clear.
We limited on Snapper up to 10 pounds. Caught lots of Amberjack, but only one keeper about 35 pounds. We also caught Barracuda and a small Wahoo. Looks like the big AJs are just starting to show up. Several boats that came in had one good AJ. Lots of Ling out there too. We saw two, but they were too small. Another boat fishing near us caught about an 80 pound Wahoo fishing over The Betsy. We got there right after they caught it. King Mackerel were caught also. I heard some Dorado were seen. Looks like all the offshore fish are all here. Let's go fishing!

9/6/05

Offshore fishing out of Port O`Connor Texas is hot! We are limiting on Red Snapper up to 20 pounds and Amberjack up to 50 pounds nearly every charter. We are also catching Ling, Dorado, Sharks, King Mackerel and Bonito behind the Shrimp boats. Blackfin Tuna should be behind the Shrimp boats also any time now. I think as soon as the water cools some the Tuna will be here. I still have some weekdays left in August and dates available in September. Fishing should be great through October. Let`s go fishing! 888-990-6460

Red Snapper fishing opened to Federal waters April 21st. We limited on Snapper quickly, out of Port O`Connor Texas. The fishing party Thursday had a blast catching their limit of Amberjack also. The Amberjack were caught over a sunken rig about 45 miles out in 200 foot of water. A couple of the guys fought a 7 foot Hammerhead Shark for an hour before it finally broke the line. Looks like we are in for a great offshore season. Let`s go fishing!

Red Snapper fishing opens to Federal waters April 21st. I have a few spots that probably have not been fished since last October. I bet those fish will nearly jump in the boat. Amberjack are always around the wrecks about 40 miles out in 150 to 200 foot of water. King mackerel and Cobia should start showing up any time. Let`s go fishing!

8/2/04

Tuna, Tuna, Tuna. I fished 14 out of the last 17 days. We limited out on Snapper and Amberjack just about every trip. Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we caught Blackfin Tuna until the fish box was full. Friday we had 6 Tuna, 32 Snapper, 6 Amberjack about 10 Dorado and a few other fish, with 6 fisherman. Saturday we had 11 Tuna, 28 Snapper, 2 Amberjack, some Dorado and other fish, I can`t remember with 5 fisherman.. Yesterday we had 8 Tuna, 20 Snapper, 2 Cobia, 6 Dorado, 2 Amberjack and a Barracuda with 4 fisherman. I don't see how fishing could get any better. We have been filling the fish box every trip.

Things are looking great out here on the water. The weather has been great. The snapper are always good and this last trip we caught several good size Kingfish. We even caught a Dolphin weighing in at 35lbs. and just over 56" long. They're out there, let's see what you can catch!

7/6/04

Looks like the weather is finally going to cooperate. We are catching lots of Snapper and Amberjack. Blue water is about 15 miles out. We have not caught many King Mackerel, but we really have not pursued them. I heard the Kings are here in close. Dolphin should be in also, we saw lots of weeds last weekend. A little calm weather and there should be some good weedlines holding Dolphin.A fisherman caught a 15 pound Snapper Sunday.

6/17/04

Offshore fishing out of Port O`Connor Texas has been a little rough, but once we get out there the fishing has been good. We caught Red Snapper, Cobia, Dolphin King Mackerel and shark this weekend. The largest fish was a 42 pound King Mackerel. He put up a great fight, it was about all this angler wanted. Blue water is about 25 miles out. I am sure as soon as we get in a summer time weather pattern, the fishing will be great. I still have some Sundays open and plenty weekdays open.We fished Tuesday. The gulf was 2 to 3 ft. waves. It was great, we could travel 30 mph everywhere we went. We limited on Snapper, Amberjack, caught 2 Cobia, 2 Dolphin and a 125 pound Blacktip Shark. Make your reservations now.

5/5/04

First Red Snapper trip of the season last Tuesday was great. We limited out on Snapper up to 20 pounds by 10:00. We also caught a 25 pound Ling, 35 pound Jack Crevelle, several Amberjack, just under-size and 3 Barracuda. We also limited out on Atlantic Sharpnose Shark. Total we brought back 34 fish. The fishing is great, all we need is favorable weather. Come catch some Snapper.

Winter is maintenance time for the offshore fisherman. I am replacing my motors this year with twin 2004 Suzuki 200 four-strokes. These motors have a six year warranty, promising many years of reliable service.

Red Snapper fishing opens up to Federal Waters last week of April. I have about a dozen new submerged structure fishing spots obtained from an Offshore surveyor friend of mine. I can hardly wait to fish them.  Last year one new spot produced over 450 keeper Red Snapper, the largest being a 26 pounder.

11/17/03

Blackfin Tuna are abundant behind the Shrimp boats in about 200 feet of water. Sand trout and Shark can be caught at close wells in state waters. Good weather days for offshore fishing are limited this time of year, but the fishing can be great.

9/23/03

Offshore fishing out of Port O`Connor is still good. Red Snapper season closes at the end of October, so do not miss your last chance to stock your freezer with some great Snapper fillets. Amberjack are on the wrecks out about 45 miles out, and we are finding an occasional Blackfin Tuna and dolphin behind the Shrimp boats 40 to 50 miles out. Big Blacktip sharks are cruising behind the Shrimpers in close.

7/30/03

Offshore fishing in Port O`Connor is hotter than ever after Claudette. King Mackerel and big Blacktip sharks behind the Shrimp boats in close. Red Snapper Dolphin and Cobia about 30 miles out. Bonito and Blackfin Tuna behind the Shrimp boats 40 to 70 miles out. Amberjack and big Snapper over wrecks 40 to 50 miles out. Pick your pleasure and let`s go get`em!
Last weekends charters caught some of each. Highlights were, 45 pound Cobia, 24 inch Dolphin, 80 pound Blacktip Shark, 20 pound Blackfin Tuna, and a 24 pound Red Snapper.

7/1/03

Offshore fishing out of Port O`Connor is red hot. We have been limited out on Red Snapper and Amberjack nearly every trip. Dolphin are showing up on the weed lines. King Mackerel action has been good also. Amberjack are moving into deeper water around the wrecks 40 to 50 miles out. Offshore waters will be open for Shrimping July 15th. That means hot and heavy action behind the shrimp boats. We caught a Blackfin Tuna last week. They should be around the Shrimp boats. Blue water is about 25 miles out. I still have days open during the week and some weekends in the fall.

05/27/03

This Memorial day weekend, offshore out of Port O`Connor, was one to remember. We fished Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
12 fisherman took 60 Red Snapper up to 17 pounds, 12 Amberjack up to 31 pounds, 4 Cobia up to 51 pounds, 16 King Mackerel up to 25 pounds and a couple of Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks. We caught all our fish within 30 miles. Action was non-stop every day. The water is clear, but no blue water. We have not seen any Dorado, but I am sure they will show up soon

05/04/03

Big Blactip Shark behind Shrimp boats in close, and Red Snapper around the wells about 20 miles out, is the story offshore in Port O`Connor. Friday we limited on Blacktips up to 100 pounds and Snapper up to 15 pounds. Friday`s trip brought in at least 400 pounds of fish, and we were back at the dock at 3:00.
