Re: How's the fishin in this areas You need to go out and get a good map or hire a captain I an sure you could find one in Port Mansfield.

Re: Shallow water Redfish recently took a trip to Port Mansfield and found the reds up in about 2 feet of water... all the Reds we caught were in the 20in to 25in range... all were taken on Red Killers in Red & White... Good Luck and they are mixed in where the mullet...

Re: Under the lights!!! csafisherThose green lights will work just about any where. If you don't want to go out to the PM jetties I would anchor along the ICW between PM and the Arroya. All that area is good for night fishing. Just be carefull that you do not...

Re: wading belts... Man: that's a hard one.  I prefer the Simms Dry Creek Bags, but I never keep fish so I don't need a stringer.  The Foreverlast belts are good and I think William and Oseph makes a good one that dad swears on.Good luck, man.

Re: Debris from Dolly Thanks for the heads up about the debris and the Game Wardens.  We try real hard to never give them an excuse to write a ticket.  Catch and release should be a whole lot more fun than the last few years where catching was the hard part.In 25...

Re: Getting Back to the water Chatter baits in the smaller size work well on the reds. Don't forget small top watrs. Spook jrs. Give me a call and I can discuss it in more detail. Too much to type for a two fingered typist.LaterBruce
