Re: Port Mansfield 8/26-27 You are not crazy, TX Chicken.  Redfish makes some of the absolute best  ceviche.  The consistency of the meat makes it great for this.  Also, one time I was in New Orleans (before Katrina) and had brunch at the Commander's Pallace (of...

Re: Boat type for Port Mansfield shhs97I have to agree with the kid. Only issue I have is Mako would better handle the “Y” if the wind is blowing, it can get testy at the “Y” ( intersection of ICW and East Cut) If you know how to exit the...

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: Port Mansfield 8/26-27 Great report Tex We have had a number of bulls in the bay early this year.  We have had a few 40+ and a lot of oversized…good job But I have to ask the question–Ceviche made from red fish?  Are you cooking it or just letting the...

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: Boat type for Port Mansfield Without being accused of being the tree hugger I actually am, well in this case the seagrass cuddler, I would recommend using the shallower drafting boat of the two.  If you are unfamiliar with the waters of Port Mansfield, buy a Hot...

Boat type for Port Mansfield We are going to Port Mansfield next week and wondering which boat to bring. We have a 17ft Mako and a 15ft aluminum marsh fishing rig. We have used the little aluminum boat for saltwater fishing before in South Louisiana. Basically not...

Re: New to Mission Welcome to the best fishing destination in the world!–literally Kayaking is a very popular option rather than simply walking in.  Academy has some very reasonably priced kayaks in the 300 to 500 dollar range. However, if you want to...

Re: Flounder Migration Flounder pounder… Great name by the way! We typically do not target those of the flat persuasion; however, I would say any deep water drops, such as the edges of the ICW (inter coastal waterway) or the east cut.  Throw shrimp, or gulp and...

Bruised Shoulders to Follow — September 4, 2007 Man, I have to shake the water out of my hair to get near the keyboard.  We have been absolutely inundated with rainstorms this summer.  The bay has received a number of ‘flushing’ rain events and with a healthy...

New to Mission I recently moved here from Dallas, and was hoping to try doing some wade fishing, I really have no idea where to start. I don't have a boat, and would like to try wading in an area where I can get to with a pickup. Any assistance would be greatly...

Flounder Migration Brandon, Thanks for actualyl talking about the “flatfish” in your fishing report.  What else can you tell us about where, when and how to find more flounder

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