Guided Wade & Drift Fishing
Port O’Connor, TX

Artificial Lures.  Shallow Water. 

The bay is waiting.

Cool, salty air.  A quiet shoreline.  That moment before the first cast, when anything can happen.

​

Every day on the water is a new puzzle, and the first cast is the first piece.  Some days are easy.  Some days aren't.  That's fishing.

How I Fish

Conditions Come First

Wind, tide, water and positioning shape every decision once we're out there.  When there's flexibility, we'll pick the best window, morning or afternoon.

Lures Only

When I'm wading or drifting, it's artificial lures, 12 months a year.  Reading water, presentation and adjustments are where consistency comes from.

Simple Done Right

No ego.  No overcomplication.  Just putting you in the best position to succeed.

Meet Your Guide

I'm Captain Kim Goulden, a licensed fishing guide running trips out of Port O'Connor and Port Mansfield, Texas.  I've built my reputation one trip at a time, on these bays, with lures in hand.

​

I fish artificial lures year-round because I love the puzzle of it, and I'd love to help you learn it or simply get better.
