Port Mansfield Fishing Report
October 14-16, 2004

Thurs., Oct. 14: Had to get on the water early in order to get a couple hours fishing in before the first cold front of the season blew into the Port. Did a quick stop along the West shoreline for a few keeper trout and reds on red and white TTks. We then headed south to West Bay to find the birds hard at work. TTKII Jrs. in white and chartreuse worked well for near limits of trout before the strong north wind forced us back to the harbor. We returned late in the afternoon for some great flounder fishing in the East Cut.

Fri., Oct. 15: With the passage of the front the winds had laid and the temperature dropped to the low 50’s. We started southeast of town and found a steady redfish bite on bone Spook Jrs and Pearl Skittlewalks. We worked our way south to the Green Island area and found trout in knee deep water. Light colored topwaters continued to work the best. Several of the trout were over 20 inches.

Sat., Oct. 16: Fished offshore aboard the Gone South. Off shore fishing continues to be excellent with limits of 4 to 9 pound snapper, a few sharks, grouper and kingfish. The trophy for the day was a 62 pound kingfish caught by Randall Morgan from Midland, TX. See photos on the home page link to Gone South Charters.


Good Fishing,
