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...

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: 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  ::)...

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....

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...

Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes — October 2, 2007 I am really sorry for the long delay.  To say I have been busier than a one clawed blue crab would be an understatement.  I guess the last report was about a month ago and a few thousand fish and song birds have volunteered...

Re: Wondering how it is down there Hey Cap, Thanks for the reply. Sunday I won't be on the computer but will be on the water. We get down ther saturday evening. We are gonna be in the blue & white house  by the ramp. You are welcome to come by for a cold one...

Re: Wondering how it is down there To be honest, I would say fair to not so fair.  However, with that said, there are still a number of big bulls (40+inch) out by the jetties.  if you hit it right, game on, if not,  ??? There can be a few long days out there.  I will...

Wondering how it is down there I'm gonna be down in Mansfield for our annual firefighter trip and am wondering how the fishing is down that way. The TPW site says just fair but what do ya'll have to say?

Personal best Went out of Aransas saturday on a friends boat. Set a personal record and a new goal.After nearly no fishing this year I believe this made up for it. [img]http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd288/putawaywettexas/070922fishing006Large.jpg[/img]...

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...
