Re: Any News on Dredging? HybridgrillsNothing has happened regarding the Jetties, but the Navigation District is currently dredging the mouth of the harbor. My understanding is if they feel they can attack the jetty issues that will be on the list of things to do....

January 31, 2007 — Cold Wind + Cold Rain = Big Trout Alright, admittedly, I am a stuck up skinny water fly fisherman who would prefer to chase sheephead on fly in ankle deep water than mess around with deep water trout in freezing (for a south Texas boy)...

July 19, 2005 — Hurricanes!!!!!!!! Sorry for the delay in posting our weekly report. We have been a tad bit busy getting ready for a visit from Emily! As I write this report all projections have the storm going into Northern Mexico south of us. We are to get 70...

Re: Wading at Night Tailchasr22 I would suggest not to night wade on a Holiday weekend or for that matter any weekend.  We have ALOT of night fisherman who fish all night and run all over the bay without lights or proper safety equipment. Poor Game Wardens have their...

Freshwater Reports? Brandon, What do you think about having a section for freshwater flyfishing reports?  I have two from this summer and was thinking your fly clients might enjoy exchanging freshwater reports. Wes

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...

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: Really Old Man I have this saying about birtthdays….How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were???  I think a lot of us fisherman unconciously think that way,,,that is what keeps us young.  Bruce really hope you had  a great day!  As fall...

Re: Traveling to Mansfield tomorrow, any help is appreciated! I was told that the reds would not really come up under the lights, but I would love to get into some trout.  I appreciate everyone's help and can't wait to see some of the beautiful country...

Re: Traveling to Mansfield tomorrow, any help is appreciated! I agree with putawaywet's reply, in fishing “the lights,” smaller, lighter lures have usually worked better for me–that's why flies work well.  Another effective lure is the...

Re: 1st time 🙁 [color=red]some other questions? [/color][color=red]-whens the best time to wade? morning ? noon? night? [/color] YES! ;D  Learn your solunar Tables and tides for this answer…I will forward you a multi-piece article I wrote a few years ago...

Re: First Timer Goes to Port Mansfield I can't say where the fish are right now because I haven't been down in nearly a year but a couple of tips would be-Start off learning north of the harbor mouth. This gives you a massive area of deep and shallow water...

Guess I’ll be the first to bring it up. Looks more and more like a final landfall in Mexico. Fine with me.I rode out Allen and will not do it again. Mentally drained me.I'm sure you guys are watching closely and know whether or not you need to bail.Be safe...

Re: Pop Gets Wake Up Call! Again thanks folks for your comments. I have been on the water everyday and am feeling fine. Just not to happy EATING cardboard and paper in lieu of Momma Getaway's cooking.Later

Re: TARPON TARPON EVERYWHERE! I look forward to seeing the pics–what size are these “herrings”?

Re: Long Time No Hear Webmaster has been bedridden for the last three days.  Look for a long overdue fishing report in the next couple of days and new photos as well.  Hope September is not your next slatwater outing  😛

hows the bite……. going to be down for a few days staying out in Arroyo city and was wondering how the bite was and if the fish are still real scattered cause of all the traffic!?

Re: Flatstalker boats I have also thought about getting one.  My understanding is that a 2 person model will be offered in the future, it may already be available.  I would only get one with a trolling motor–paddlng long distance in this craft seems impractical...
