Traveling to Mansfield tomorrow, any help is appreciated! Hello there, I'm new here and don't get to do much saltwater fishing, but we are leaving early Thursday morning from Tyler,Tx to spend a few days in Port Mansfield.  We are going off shore during the...

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: 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...

The Fishery Bruce and Brandon, Bruce, you talked about the fact that TP&W keeps an eye on operations that consistently post pictures of limits, or near-limits, of fish on their websites, and that, going forward, regs for the various bay systems will be affected...

Re: The Fishery Wes I have read your post a numner of ties and still swilling it around to give you a good answer.  First, let me say, I completely agree with all of you points. As a guide, and this diatribe is mine only and does not reflect any official stance from...

Re: Tarpon in the Bay. That is awesome!Kudos to you..Would be a dream come true for me to get one in the bay.I haven't jumped a tarpon since 2002 and that was about a mile off the jetties. Took a Mirrorlure under a small log and made my Penn spinner smell like a...

South Padre Beach What is the best way to get to the beach at South Padre from Port Mansfield (by boat).  Both down by Port Isabel or anywhere close to Port Mansfield.

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...

Long Time No Hear What's happening down there–is it slow or is it really busy?  I have not saltwater fished since May!!!  Everything has been fairly rained/freshwatered to death on the upper coast the past week to 10 days.  Hope you are doing well. Wes
