Port O'Connor Blast & Cast Trips

Duck Hunting in the Morning. Fishing in the Afternoon.

Why settle for one when you can do both? A Blast & Cast trip combines two of the best things about Port O'Connor: coastal duck hunting and fishing the bays.

Start the day in the marsh with Captain Stephen, then switch gears and get out on the water with a fishing rod in hand. It's the best of both worlds for hunters who love to fish.

The Hunt. Then the Fishing.

The Hunt

Head out early, get the decoys set, and spend the morning watching the coastal marsh come to life. Depending on the season and conditions, you may encounter redheads, pintails, and other waterfowl.

The Fishing

After the hunt, trade the shotgun for a fishing rod and head into the bays. Redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and other inshore species may be on the menu depending on the conditions.

Who's a Blast & Cast Trip For?

These trips are a great fit for groups of friends, experienced outdoorsmen, and anyone who wants to make the most of a trip to Port O'Connor during duck season.

It's also a solid option for visitors coming from out of town who want to enjoy both fishing and hunting while they're here.

What to Bring

  • Your shotgun and legal ammunition
  • Hunting licenses and permits
  • Appropriate clothing and equipment for the hunt

Fishing equipment arrangements depend on the selected trip. We'll go over the day's plan and any additional requirements before you arrive.
