Port Mansfield Fishing Overview
Port Mansfield is a prime destination for fishing enthusiasts seeking a serene and natural environment. This small town offers access to the crystal clear waters of Laguna Madre and the Gulf of Mexico, making it one of the most prolific fishing towns in the region. Inshore fishing yields species such as Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sheepshead, while offshore fishing offers the opportunity to catch big game such as Marlin, Tuna, Sailfish, Amberjack, Snapper, Grouper, and Mahi Mahi.
For families on vacation, half-day trips are recommended to explore the area without causing restlessness in children. For more serious anglers or those seeking offshore beasts, full-day trips are available. Specialized trips like Flounder gigging are also offered.
To comply with Texas state laws, all individuals aged 17 or over must possess a Texas fishing license, regardless of whether they are fishing on their own or on a fishing charter. Charters are readily available at the docks in Port Mansfield, as well as in nearby Arroyo City and Port Isabel.
Port Mansfield Inshore Fishing
The Lower Laguna Madre and the shallow grasses of the Intracoastal are a hotbed for inshore action that will provide tons of opportunities for redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and black drum. The current state record speckled trout was caught in the nearby Baffin Bay which is proof that giant fish frequent the area.
Starting in the Spring, the speckled trout bite is in full swing with flounder coming on strong in the warmer summer water. Heading into Fall, redfish get red hot while migrating for their annual spawn, and as the water cools off in the winter, sheepshead group up around structures and start biting. Whether you want to wade or drift, you'll see plenty of action in the pristine waters surrounding Port Mansfield.
Port Mansfield Offshore Fishing
Port Mansfield is one of the closest cities in Texas to deep water, meaning the distance and time, and time you need to spend getting to quality offshore action is much shorter than it might be further to the north. This means that if you want to take an overnight trip to the floaters you'll have hours more fishing time and much less running time. Head out and troll to target species including wahoo, cobia, kingfish, blackfin tuna, yellowfin tuna, marlin, and sailfish. If you would rather drop bait deep you can catch various grouper and snapper species near structures on the ocean floor.
