Spotted Seatrout
Port Mansfield offers some of Texas's finest Spotted Seatrout action, largely thanks to its location along the Lower Laguna Madre. This hypersaline bay system provides a unique environment that supports a robust seatrout population. The best times are spring and fall, when the trout are actively feeding in the shallower grass flats. Look for slicks and nervous water, indicators of feeding fish. During summer, target deeper edges and channels to avoid the heat. A local tip: wade fishing the flats near the East Cut can be highly productive. Also, keep a close eye on water clarity; seatrout prefer cleaner water, so adjust your location accordingly. Remember to match your lure presentation to the prevalent forage—shrimp imitations are almost always a safe bet. The seatrout in this area are known for their size, so be prepared for some exciting battles!
