Redfish
Port O'Connor offers some of the finest redfish angling on the Texas coast, largely due to its proximity to the vast Matagorda Bay system. This area provides a diverse range of habitats, from shallow grass flats to deeper channels and back lakes, all holding redfish. Spring and fall are prime times, as the reds move into the shallows to feed on shrimp and crabs. During the summer, look for them in deeper water near structure to escape the heat. A key tactic is to match your lure to the prevalent forage. If you see shrimp jumping, use a shrimp imitation under a popping cork. If mullet are abundant, try a topwater lure early in the morning or late in the evening. The ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) running through Port O'Connor is a reliable access point, but be mindful of boat traffic, especially on weekends. Also, pay attention to the tides; a falling tide can concentrate redfish around drains and cuts, creating excellent fishing opportunities.
