Trophy Fish Caught

Recent excursions in Port O’Connor, TX have yielded impressive results for those hunting trophy fish. We are seeing a significant surge in heavy-shouldered Redfish and oversized Spotted Seatrout hitting topwaters and soft plastics in the primary lakes. In addition to these local staples, our reports often feature sightings and catches of unique species like Tripletail and Black Drum. By tracking real-time conditions, we help you time your trip to coincide with peak activity, giving you the best chance to land a fish of a lifetime.

Family-Friendly Fishing Adventures

At Back Bay Guide Service, we specialize in family-friendly fishing that balances productivity with a relaxed, educational atmosphere. We understand that a successful trip with kids requires more than just catching fish; it requires a focus on safety, patience, and engagement. Our 24-foot bay boat is equipped with all necessary safety gear, and Captain Lynn provides expert instruction to help young anglers develop their skills. These adventures are designed to be fun and easy-going, ensuring that every member of the family leaves with a smile and a great story.

Fishing Year-Round in Port O'Connor

One of the greatest advantages of the Texas Gulf Coast is the ability to enjoy fishing year-round. While spring and summer offer explosive topwater action for Trout, the cooler months provide some of the best "bull" Redfish opportunities in the region. We adapt our techniques and locations based on the seasonal migration of baitfish and water temperatures, ensuring our services remain reliable regardless of the month. Whether you are looking for a summer escape or a winter wading session, there is always a target species waiting. Book your private charter today to take advantage of the current bite!
