Join Captain Pat for an unforgettable 4-hour nighttime flounder gigging adventure in Port O'Connor, Texas, designed for groups of up to 5 anglers. Flounder gigging enthusiasts often agree that even a quiet night on the water can be more rewarding than a slow day fishing with rod and reel. This traditional yet thrilling way of fishing involves using boat-mounted lights to illuminate the shallow bay floor, revealing the distinctive silhouette or glowing red eyes of flounder beneath the surface. Anglers then use a forked spear, known as a flounder gig, to expertly catch their prize. Experience this unique and entertaining style of fishing that promises hours of fun.
