ice? Wheres the cheapest ice in or around Pt. Mansfield???Thanks.Coming from San Antonio..

boat…. looking to get into the boating world in the next year and have been hearing great things about Mosca boats! I was leaning towards an Explorer but fished off a Mosca this passed weekend and the ride was great….got really skinny and had alot of deck...

hows the bite……. going to be down for a few days staying out in Arroyo city and was wondering how the bite was and if the fish are still real scattered cause of all the traffic!?

Long Time No Hear What's happening down there–is it slow or is it really busy?  I have not saltwater fished since May!!!  Everything has been fairly rained/freshwatered to death on the upper coast the past week to 10 days.  Hope you are doing well. Wes

Re: ice? Good Question. Actually McDonalds in Raymondville has the cheapest ice…problem is; how do you keep it over a long weekend?

Re: boat…. Have not heard any reports onthe Mosca's…however I am looking into turning over my boat next year.  It would be a great starter boat and would not kill your budget…keep that in mind as we move forward.

Re: Long Time No Hear Webmaster has been bedridden for the last three days.  Look for a long overdue fishing report in the next couple of days and new photos as well.  Hope September is not your next slatwater outing  😛

Freshwater Reports? Brandon, What do you think about having a section for freshwater flyfishing reports?  I have two from this summer and was thinking your fly clients might enjoy exchanging freshwater reports. Wes

Re: Wading at Night When we were kids we would jump the fence at the condos on the south corner late at night and catch flounder and trout under the lights. Jack Carpenter would always run us off. Then we decided we could wade from the lot next door over to the...

baffin bay…. had a great experience in baffin bay last week landing my PR trout at 26 1/2 inches. My  buddy next to me landed a 28 1/2 weighing 8 pounds! both released to see another day….got weathered out within an hour of fishing!  even though it was a...

Re: baffin bay…. Danny, (Right?) Thanks for the report, man.  And I agree, ain't nothing like the LLM Reds…got into quite a few of them today! Keep the reports coming…but let us know how deep and what you were using…nothing like a big girl...

You Know Sergio!? — June 11, 2007 The past week was a shortish, longish week.  Greatish, poorish fishing.  Consistently inconsistent yet inconsistently consistent.  In a nutshell, the week was a mixed bag of fishing conditions and weather conditions.  Trout...

Re: baffin bay…. andur right on….Danny!that one day i was using a she-pup chrome and black…..my buddy was using a bone colored super-spook jr!  we were bout 10 yards off the bank cause the water dropped to about six feet in a couple of steps!

Tarpon in the Bay. While fishing with Charlie Buchen (Tail Chasers) on 6/14, We landed a nice little Tarpon about 30lbs. It was really a shock to hook into one while wade fishing the bay and even more of a shock to land him on 10lb. line and a 1/4oz jig. . No pictures...

Re: Tarpon in the Bay. That is awesome!Kudos to you..Would be a dream come true for me to get one in the bay.I haven't jumped a tarpon since 2002 and that was about a mile off the jetties. Took a Mirrorlure under a small log and made my Penn spinner smell like a...

Wading at Night I am coming down on the weekend before July 4th and since the moon will almost be full I was hoping to get some ideas of where to go night wading in Port Mansfield.  I have done it in other bay systems like baffin but have only night fished in the East...

Flatstalker boats Hello all – Has anyone used one of the Flatstalker boats? www.flatstalker.com Seems like a pretty good deal. Any thoughts? David

Re: Tarpon in the Bay. Well Jeff has a better pic. that I have.. Maybe it will happen again some day.. Thanks for the reply.D.T.

Re: Wading at Night Tailchasr22 I would suggest not to night wade on a Holiday weekend or for that matter any weekend.  We have ALOT of night fisherman who fish all night and run all over the bay without lights or proper safety equipment. Poor Game Wardens have their...

New tournament regs.. Just saw that the bay division is now divided into two sections, natural and artificial. Makes sense I suppose, although I never could get shrimp during tournament anyway.Also no billfish brought to the dock. I am fine with that. When I was a kid...
