Port Mansfield 8/26-27 NO PICS–It has been such a slow year I haven't bothered to carry a camera.I finally had a trip worth posting–it has been a tough year for me in PM. We got out early Sun morning and started off fishing in 2' of water and had...

Re: Sept 17, Monday of TFF of Houston trip Brandon, Still wanting to know what the 1/2 day options are on Monday, Sept 17.  I can bring my kayaks if there is a way for someone to drop us off, pick us up and get us back to the lodge by 1-2 for Rod to make his flight in...

Re: 1st time 🙁 Rey, this time of year you can hook fish just about anywhere. two…three…four… five ..feet of water etc. Summer time is a great time to fish. mornings can be very productive just like late afternoon and evenings. On a recent wading trip...

Re: 1st time 🙁 Rey, I think your fishing too deep. In the morning try a foot or two of water. After 9:00 am or so start going a little deeper. The reds love mud as do drum and stingrays :o. If its trout your looking for try the cleaner water.  Don't spend too...

Re: New to Wading Rey, try using Gulp shrimptails. These puppies are as good as live shrimp. Start with “new penny” on a 1/8 oz. jighead. Just throw that thing out there and bring it in slowly but keep the line tight. Give me a ring so we can hook -up on a...

Great Season — August 29, 2007 It is a cold and dreary day.  The kiddies have returned to school. Fewer boats on the water during the week.  The days are noticeably getting shorter.  Tarpon seemed to be pointing more south now rather than heading north.  In...

Re: West Shoreline Pretty clean going north.  Running the east facing sout spoils still has a few hiding obstructions.

West Shoreline I was wondering about the west shoreline debris after the huricane. We came down right after the huricane last August and there were many posts sticking out of the water. Thanks, Ricky.
