Expert Port Mansfield Fishing with B.T.J Charters

Port Mansfield's Hidden Fishing Hotspot

Rise and shine, anglers! Get ready to hit the water at the crack of dawn for some of the best inshore fishing Port Mansfield has to offer. This 5-hour trip is your ticket to hooking into some of the Gulf Coast's most prized catches. We're talking about hefty Black Drum, hard-fighting Redfish, and those elusive Speckled Trout that'll test your skills. With room for up to three fishing buddies, you'll have the boat to yourself as we scout out the honey holes only us locals know about.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll push off from the dock at 7 AM sharp, so have your coffee in hand and be ready to go. The early bird gets the worm - or in this case, the fish! As we cruise out, you'll see why Port Mansfield is a hidden gem for Texas anglers. The waters here are teeming with life, and we know just where to find the action. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, our crew will make sure you're in the right spot at the right time. Just remember to grab your fishing license before you hop aboard - we want to keep everything above board and focused on the fish.

Rods, Reels, and Tactics

On this trip, we'll be using light to medium tackle that's perfect for inshore fishing. You might find yourself casting soft plastics around grass flats for trout, or maybe we'll set up with some cut bait to tempt those big Black Drum. If the Redfish are tailing in the shallows, we might even do some sight casting - there's nothing quite like watching a red crush your lure right before your eyes. We've got all the gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. Just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat, and we'll take care of the rest.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Black Drum are the bruisers of the bay, and they're a favorite target for good reason. These fish can grow to over 30 pounds, and when they decide to eat, hold on tight! They love hanging around structure and will put up a fight that'll have your arms burning. The best time to target them is usually in the cooler months, but we can find them year-round if we know where to look.

Speckled Trout, or "specks" as we call 'em, are the prize of many coastal anglers. These spotted beauties are known for their delicate taste and the challenge they present. They're most active in the early morning, which is why we're getting out there at dawn. Trout love to hang around grass beds and drop-offs, and once you hook into one, you'll see why they're such a blast to catch.

Redfish, now that's a fish that'll test your drag. These copper-colored fighters are a staple of Gulf Coast fishing. They can be found tailing in shallow water or hanging out near oyster beds. The "bull reds" can grow over 40 inches long, and when they hit your bait, you'll know it. Fall is prime time for reds, but we catch 'em all year in Port Mansfield.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Port Mansfield might not be as well-known as some other fishing spots along the coast, but that's part of its charm. The waters here are less pressured, which means more fish and fewer boats to compete with. Our morning trips are timed perfectly to hit that sweet spot when the fish are most active and the temperatures are still cool. Plus, with a private charter, you've got the flexibility to target whatever's biting best that day. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler or just enjoy the thrill of the catch, we've got you covered.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the fish we catch and the good times we have on the water, but the best way to experience it is to come out and see for yourself. At $500 for up to three people, this 5-hour trip is a steal for the quality of fishing you'll get. We've got prime dates filling up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to lock in your spot. Grab your fishing buddies, pack your sense of adventure, and let's make some memories on the water. Port Mansfield's fish are calling, and trust me, you don't want to miss this call.
