Local Species Insights: Redfish

Redfish thrive in Port O'Connor's shallow bays and grass flats, where they feed aggressively on crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish. These copper-colored fighters are known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights, making them a favorite target for inshore anglers. During fall months, redfish school up in larger numbers and become more predictable, often found tailing in skinny water or cruising along drop-offs. Captain Stephen targets them using live bait and artificial lures, adjusting techniques based on water clarity and tide movement for consistent success.

Local Species Insights: Black Drum

Black drum frequent Port O'Connor's deeper channels and oyster reefs, where their powerful jaws crush shellfish and crustaceans with ease. These bottom-dwelling fighters are known for their bulldogging runs and steady pressure, providing a different style of fight compared to redfish and trout. They respond well to fresh bait presented near structure, and their year-round presence makes them reliable targets when other species are less active. Captain Stephen's knowledge of productive drum spots ensures anglers experience the thrill of hooking into these powerful inshore bruisers.
