Port O'Connor Cast & Blast: Ultimate Outdoor Combo

Port O'Connor: Cast & Blast Adventure Awaits

Get ready for a full day of non-stop action in Port O'Connor with our guided Cast & Blast trip. We're talking prime duck hunting at dawn followed by red-hot inshore fishing - all packed into one killer 9-hour adventure. This is the real deal for hunters and anglers looking to double down on outdoor thrills. Our experienced guides know these waters like the back of their hand, putting you right where you need to be for both birds and fish. Whether you're shouldering your shotgun in the early morning mist or feeling that telltale tug on your line, this trip delivers the goods from start to finish.

Inside the Hunt

We kick things off early, meeting at the dock at 5:00 AM sharp. You'll want to bring your A-game and your own gear - we're talking shotgun, ammo (Federal Black Cloud is the go-to), and waders. Leave the bright colors at home; we're trying to blend in, not stand out. Our guides will set you up in prime spots, with expert decoy placement to bring the birds right in. You'll be in the thick of it as flights of teal, redheads, and pintails come swooping in. The morning air will be alive with wingbeats and calls - it's the kind of rush that keeps hunters coming back year after year.

What to Expect on the Water

Once we've bagged our limit (or given it our best shot), we'll switch gears and hit the water for some serious inshore fishing. No need to lug your own tackle - we've got you covered with all the gear you'll need to hook into some hefty specks and reds. Our guides know all the honey holes where the fish are stacked up, and they'll put you on the action. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, you'll have plenty of chances to feel that rod bend and reel scream. Just remember, the fish aren't guaranteed, but the fun sure is.

Hunter Highlights

"Captain Stephen is top-notch! He knows the water like the back of his hand and had us on redheads and pintails right at sunrise—we limited out within the hour. The rest of the day was spent fishing, and thanks to his knowledge of active spots, we hauled in plenty of specks and reds. Beyond the catch, he was constantly attentive, helping with rigs, adjusting setups, and making sure every detail was handled. His focus on safety, fun, and success turned the trip into an unforgettable experience. Without a doubt, I'll be booking with Captain Stephen again!" - Jeremy

Target Game Breakdown

Blue-winged Teal: These speedy little ducks are often the first to arrive in the fall, zipping through the air like feathered bullets. They're a favorite among hunters for their challenging flight patterns and tasty meat. Typically weighing in at just over a pound, what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and excitement. Early season is your best bet for these birds, so book your trip in September or October for peak action.

Redhead: With their distinctive rusty-red heads and sleek gray bodies, redheads are a sight to behold. These diving ducks are known for their large flocks and impressive speed, often reaching up to 50 mph. They're a bit bigger than teal, usually 2-3 pounds, and offer a satisfying hunt. Redheads typically show up in force during mid to late fall, making November and December prime time for targeting these beauties.

Northern Pintail: Elegant and swift, pintails are often called the "greyhounds of the air" due to their sleek build and impressive flying abilities. Drakes are easily identified by their long, pointed tail feathers. These ducks are prized for their wary nature, making for an exciting and challenging hunt. You'll have the best luck with pintails from October through January, as they move through on their migration.

Gadwall: Often overlooked but never underappreciated by seasoned hunters, gadwalls are the sneaky stars of many a hunt. These medium-sized ducks might not have the flashy plumage of some other species, but what they lack in looks they make up for in numbers and taste. Gadwalls are late migrants, so your chances of bagging these birds increase as the season progresses, peaking in December and January.
