Texas Salt Shorts Episode 2 – Port O’Connor This is a three day trip we took to Port O’Connor starting the day after Thanksgiving 2009. We caught four bull reds, several large gafftops and loads of pan size whiting. All reds were caught and released, we kept a enough gafftop and whiting to treat the family to a fish fry.

@HarlingenCardinals Like your name buddy, Great Team/City
@HarlingenCardinals cold steel make some very good knives
@texassaltshorts
Thank you sir!
@texassaltshorts, the Okuma Coronado series spinning reels have earned a place in my reel line up as well.
@rippac86, 10′ rod, spin cast reel, few hundred yards of 50lb+ braid is good for surf fishing the first, second and third cuts. For long hauls ( kayaked baits ) use a heavy action 8-10′ surf rod, open face, several hundred yards of 100lb braid. For shark use a 8′ steel leader with 12/0+ circle hooks wrapped in electric tape. You can drop some cash on these rigs, so do your research, before you spend too much
Avet, Abu Garcia, Penn, Shimano are a few good brands. You get what you pay for.
@HarlingenCardinals, Rampala has some good fillet knives relatively inexpensive. J. Marttini also makes some good knives.
Nice informative video. Any suggestions for a high quality, super sharp fillet knife?
i hope that oil don’t get to you all it is so beautiful there i bet the fishing is so sweet there !?
lol nice i wish i knew how to fish like that…
know what kind of surf rod pole/reel/rig i need to go cast out into the surf and fish there
we go down to bigshell all the time go 65 miles down to the port mansfield beach and you better have a 4wheel drive he isnt lieng gets deep
8:18 mmmmmmmmmm priceless…
btw we have such places in NY, unfortunately never been there (just bought my 4×4) and i’ve heard they were closed for a while after two guys drown during the high tight…
0:34 haha at this how to do it moment i thought you gonna put a rod there…. LOL
Great Video! I’ve never been as far South as Big Shell! Looks trecherous, but fun!! I enjoyed the tour!! 5*s
Good job!
This is an outstanding video. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Can’t wait to go back to high island this weekend to throw in the surf.
i caught about 30 whiteing on dead shrimp there last spring break. and about 10 of them were at least a pound and a half and 2 of them were more then 2 pounds.
FANTASTICO !!
Sounds good. Thanks for the suggestion!
you should try grillin it on the half shell right after the catch. im sure the way u did it was badass, just another suggestion.
Nice..
Great Video… I really enjoyed watching it. Great Education Video..
