On these waters
You learn a lot about a place after spending 30 years fishing it. The bays, flats, shorelines, tides, and seasonal patterns around Port O'Connor all have their own ways of keeping an angler on his toes.
Captain Stephen Boriskie has spent decades getting to know this stretch of the middle Texas coast. Today, he puts that experience to work helping guests enjoy the fishing and hunting that make Port O'Connor special.
Every Day Starts with the Conditions
Local Knowledge You Can Put to Work
Port O'Connor has a little bit of everything: shallow flats, grass beds, shell, sandy bottom, muddy back bays, and deeper water. Different conditions call for different approaches, and there's no substitute for knowing how to fish them.
Whether you're throwing artificial lures, fishing with live bait, or wading a shoreline, Captain Stephen brings years of experience to the decisions that shape your day.
Fishing for Beginners & Experienced Anglers
Some guests have been fishing the Texas coast their whole lives. Others are stepping onto a fishing boat for the first time.
Stephen welcomes both. The idea is to choose the right trip for your group, enjoy the time on the water, and give everyone a chance to experience what this area has to offer.
Duck Hunting, Blast & Cast & Blast & Blast Trips
More Than Fishing
When duck season arrives, the marshes offer another way to enjoy the Texas coast. Captain Stephen also guides waterfowl hunts, Blast & Cast trips combining a morning hunt with afternoon fishing, and Blast & Blast trips featuring two hunts in one day.
It's a chance to experience more of Port O'Connor with someone who knows the local area.
Quality Lodging Through First Mate Vacation Rentals
Your Trip Doesn't Have to End at the Dock
POC Guides also connects guests with First Mate Vacation Rentals, a locally managed vacation rental business with 46 properties.
Instead of booking a fishing trip and then hunting all over town for accommodations, you can find both through the POC Guides website.
