Espiritu Santo Bay - Calhoun, TX Fishing Report on 26th Nov, 2025 - 1

It’s not fair to assume that our Sunday was better than yours, but you’d be hard pressed to convince me otherwise. Aside from a few missed eats from excited trout sets on early morning gurglers, we couldn’t keep the fish off our flies today. Tailing schools from sun up til 2pm when we had our fill of the heat and turned the boat back north to head home.

Espiritu Santo Bay - Calhoun, TX Fishing Report on 26th Nov, 2025 - 2

Yesterday was one of the best days I’ve had since starting my fishing career. Corey had never fly fished before. We started the day with casting lessons here at the compound and ended with a nice little schooly red to hand. Throw in a boat tour of Matagorda island and the day was set. Look forward to getting Corey on the boat again and being a part of his fly fishing journey.

Espiritu Santo Bay - Calhoun, TX Fishing Report on 17th Jun, 2025

Redfish action in Port O’Connor is heating up as summer settles in. Anglers are seeing consistent bites along the grassy shorelines, marsh cuts, and deeper flats, especially during early morning and late afternoon tides. Live and cut bait are producing solid results, but those tossing gold spoons or paddle tail soft plastics are also finding success—especially in slightly stained water. Most of the slot reds are coming in between 22 to 27 inches, with a few upper-slot bruisers mixed in. The back lakes and bays near Pringle and South Pass are holding fish, especially on moving water. Sight casting opportunities have been excellent on calmer days with clear water and light winds. Whether you’re wading the shallows or drifting over grass flats, now’s a great time to chase redfish in Port O’Connor.
