Re: Inshore Fishing South of the Border 2 words... La Pesca!  I had an awesome time with Hotel owner Jorge Medina in this great fishing hole that sits right on the river. The locals make the best ceviche Ive ever eaten. The inshore/offshore fishing is awesome. Contact...

Re: Inshore Fishing South of the Border LeshYes there are some areas down there which are so remote no netting. On our recent trip down Brandon and I saw a bay with very limited access. That remoteness has saved it from over fishing. A group of us are making an...

Inshore Fishing South of the Border I have often wondered about the bays south of the Rio Grande. On one hand, I imagine miles of unspoiled and under fished water teaming with game fish. Or, on the other hand, an unregulated and therefore over fished bay system. Have...

Re: Waders Just out of curiousity what waders do you all use?I tried the Magellan thinsulated waders and they seemed to work just fine though I wish they were breathable..What do you think are the best...

White Wing Heaven at the Hacienda San Juan Here is an attempt to make you envious.  Actually, it’s no attempt at all; I warn you now you’ll be envious, maybe even jealous, definitely curious.  However, I also want to extend it out there you’re also invited.To paint...

It Continues -- March 27, 2009 I know I sound like a broken record but! The fishing continues on an outstanding level not seen in the pass 3 years. While Capt. Brandon and I were in Mexico Capts’ Ted, Pete, Mitch and Dwain have carried on with daily catches of 25’...

Re: SHORT UPDATE 3/23/09 Big Fish Kudos to Capt. Bruce for pointing folks in the right direction. 8)I live in San Antonio but I grew up in the Valley. We used to wade fish Port Mansfield from the Arroyo to the cut and have always done pretty good. Though I must say...

Re: Waders Simms and Simms only.  I will never wear anything else.

North of Here Wondered if anyone has any tips for catching a big trout in the Rockport area. I would of course rather be fishing in the lower LM, but you take what you're given. I will be there in mid April - was thinking Pelican Island might be a good bet. Much...

Re: Shark!!! Adam,Where are the northern shoreline were you?  I have seen a number of Bulls north and south of the cut on the flats and a few down around Bennies very near the ICW.  However, I have not seen many on the west shoreline.  Did you get a species identity? ...

Shark!!! I was wade fishing the northern shoreline today when I noticed a fin sticking out of the water in about 3 ft of water.Turned out to be a big ole' shark maybe about 5 ft. It came in too close for comfort so I high tailed it outta there.Tried to see if it...

Fishing along a shoreline Would this be a good time to fish along the shorlines due to all this high winds that are howling through P.M.? Would fishing along the shorlines as well help me with throwing some topwaters and be effective on catching some fish? If not...

Re: Wind this weekend ;D Thanx guys I knew that I'd still catch but the two drift anchor idea is a good one... Well I'm not to gifted with bait casts so i don't think i have to worry about getting tangled up. thanx for the tips!  ::)

Re: Wind this weekend Just hope you dont get spooled when u cast with all that wind howling haha.. i had the exact same question Top Water Girl... except I;m not going to PM.... always wondered if the fish were as eager to eat in 25 plus mph winds as they are in 8 mpw...

Re: Wind this weekend I'd say your chances are as good as when there isn't as much wind. I personally think Port Mansfield is always windy and though you might have a rough ride going out you should still be able to get on some fish. Drifting with two drift...
