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...

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...

New Member Hello, I am a new member and new to fishing Port Mansfield.  I will be down there this weekend and would like some suggestion as to where to fish.  I will be in a boat and need some guidance as to where to stay away from.  I look forward to bringing some...

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...

Thanks for the great weekend Hey Bruce, Shirley, and Brandon.  On behalf of the Texas Flyfishers, thanks for the great weekend down at your lodge.  Weather was a little funky, but it ended up being one of the best fishing weekends I've ever experienced.  From the...

Re: New Fly Record Red Snapper-Pending Certification It was an IGFA legal catch but it would have been 16lb tippet and I didn't think it would be close to the IGFA record….turns out it's only 8lbs or something I think. There's always next time....

Re: New Fly Record Red Snapper-Pending Certification Good for you IGFA Legal?  Stan Nabozny had the record with me that still stands as the IGFA 12 pound tippet record.  We broke the ciurrent dolphin red=cord this weekend…but filletted it before certifying  ::)...

New Fly Record Red Snapper-Pending Certification Pending approval by the state the new, fly caught, record Red Snapper will be 11lbs 11oz caught by myself last Monday morning out of Port Mansfield. The bigger fish were suspending off the structure so the Lowrance 111...

Re: New Member How did your trip go? Any fish? 🙂

Re: Floating Grass Reel DealGrass is always a problem here. If you throw top waters I suggest you change hooks to single, will not make you miss any bites. The one nice thing you can say about our wind it tends to wind row the grass. When it does just cast down the...
