 Motorhome Magazine Open Roads Forum: Port Lavaca or Port O Connor Tx.
Having to think back many a year but as I remember, just before you get to Port O'Connor there is a turn off and is signed "Charley's Fish Camp." Used to be a good spot to fish and there were guides available, especially in town.
Port O'Connor is also located on the Intracoastal Canal whereas Port O'Conner is located at the north end of the bay system.
However, the bay at Port Lavaca is very shallow and when the north wind blows the water gets very shallow and the fishing is not as good as other times.
