Whether you want to wade or drift, you'll see plenty of action in the pristine waters surrounding Port Mansfield.

When you're fishing with Captain Ronnie, you'll be aiming for the "Texas Triple" or the "Texas Slam"—both names for when you catch a Flounder, a Redfish, and a Speckled Trout in one day! You can also expect to hook Black Drum and Sheepshead, both of which share habitat with Redfish. Generally, you'll be fishing shrimp on popping corks, which really attract big surface bites. Be ready, because you never know which bite is going to be your personal record! Captain Ronnie runs his trips from a 24' Dargle Scout, a perfect boat for this environment. She's powered by a brand-new 250-HP Suzuki, so you'll have no problem getting out to where the fish are. She also sports a PowerPole for easy maneuvering in shallow water. Ronnie provides everything you need for a great trip, so just bring some sunscreen, a cooler with some snacks and drinks, and your Texas saltwater fishing license and you'll be good to go! Read More
