My son, Ryan, tried the water of Port O'Conner last weekend and sent this report.

Jack was 45".  Was a heavy load!

All these fish (reds and shark) were caught on 7" Shad we caught in a cast net.

I caught this jack the evening we arrived, while the shad were alive.  We hooked the shad through the skull using circle hooks on steel leaders (about 3ft long).

We anchored in a 30ft deep pass/bayou.  Within 1-2 mins of releasing line, we had this fish on. Fought him for around 15-20mins (same time as the shark the following morning).
We saved the rest of the shad (on ice) and used them at the jetties the next morning to catch the Reds and the Shark.
