Mansfield is a great place to fish. If your throwing lures I, recomend norton sand eels in tequila or pink. If your wading in the flats at sunup throw top waters. Skitter walk top dog or heddon ghost. Anything bright and shiny.

Nice Thanks for the input what did you catch there? I heard pretty much most of the fish are there like reds makrel flounder all trouts and whiting and they are all a little bigger than what we get here in galveston.

Have you ever done the drive up the beach? what should i expect?

I hear after a storm comes through that when your driving down the beach sometimes you can find some pretty cool stuff washed up on the shore line

I never have done the drive up the beach but you are correct about big fish. Although there were some big trout caught this weekend with all the beautiful water in the surf.

Mike are you going to fish that tournament this weekend port mansfield. I fished 4 years in a row great tourny.
