    Texas Flats Fishing: Half-Day Port Mansfield Adventure

    Ready to hit the flats for some of the best fishing Port Mansfield has to offer? Jerry's Fishing Charters has you covered with our half-day morning trip that'll get you on the water and into the action. We're talking 5 hours of light tackle fishing for some of the most sought-after inshore species in Texas. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, our experienced captains know exactly where to find the fish and how to put you on them.

    What's the Deal?

    Picture this: You're gliding across gin-clear shallows as the sun peeks over the horizon, your rod at the ready. Our skilled guides have been prowling these waters for years, and they know every nook and cranny where the fish like to hang out. We'll be targeting a mixed bag of inshore favorites - Snook, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Redfish, and Speckled Trout. Each species offers its own unique challenge and fight, so you're in for a real treat. The boat can handle up to 6 anglers, making it perfect for a family outing or a day out with your fishing buddies.

    Flats Fishing 101

    If you've never fished the flats before, you're in for a treat. This isn't your grandpa's deep-sea fishing - we're talking shallow water action where finesse and stealth are key. We'll be using light tackle and spinning gear, which means you'll feel every nibble and pull. Sight-fishing is often the name of the game here. That's when you actually spot the fish before you cast, making for some heart-pounding moments as you watch a big red cruise up to your lure. Our guides will show you the ropes, from how to spot fish in the shallows to the best techniques for presenting your bait. Even if you're a pro, there's always something new to learn on the flats.

    Species You'll Want to Hook

    Snook: These hard-fighting fish are a top target for many anglers. They love to hang around structure and can put on quite a show when hooked. Snook have a distinctive black lateral line and an underbite that gives them a real attitude. They're most active in the warmer months and put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.

    Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you - these bruisers can grow to monster sizes and will test your tackle. They've got a sweet spot for crustaceans, so crab and shrimp imitations are your best bet. Black drum are around all year but really start to school up in the late winter and early spring.

    Sheepshead: These striped convicts are known for their chompers - they've got human-like teeth perfect for crushing crabs and barnacles. They're tricky to hook but tasty on the plate. Sheepshead fishing heats up in the cooler months when they move inshore to spawn.

    Redfish: The rock stars of the flats, redfish (or red drum) are known for their copper color and black spot near the tail. They love to cruise the shallows, often with their backs out of the water. Sight-casting to tailing reds is about as exciting as it gets. They're around all year but really turn on in the fall.

    Speckled Trout: These spotted beauties are a staple of Texas inshore fishing. They've got soft mouths, so a gentle touch is needed when fighting them. Specks love to hit topwater lures, making for some explosive surface action. You can catch them year-round, but the bigger ones often show up in the cooler months.

    Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

    Port Mansfield might not be as well-known as some other Texas fishing spots, but that's part of its charm. The waters here are less pressured, which means more fish and fewer boats to compete with. Our half-day trips are perfect for those who want to get a taste of what the area has to offer without committing to a full day. And let's be honest, 5 hours of fishing is plenty to get your fix and still have time for other activities (or a nap) in the afternoon.

    What to Bring on Your Trip

    We've got you covered on the fishing gear front, but there are a few things you'll want to bring along: - A valid Texas fishing license (we can't stress this enough - no license, no fishing) - Sunscreen (the Texas sun doesn't mess around) - A hat and polarized sunglasses (helps cut the glare and spot fish) - Weather-appropriate clothing (layers are your friend) - Snacks and drinks (we don't provide meals on this trip) - A camera (for those inevitable "big fish" stories) - And most importantly, a good attitude and readiness to have some fun

    Time to Book Your Spot

    So there you have it, folks. A morning on the water, world-class fishing, and memories that'll last a lifetime - all packed into a neat 5-hour package. Our trips fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to lock in your date.
