Big Dog Status Outfitters LLC specializes in fishing the waters around Port Mansfield and invites you along for a trip to remember.

Here, you won’t be far from inshore and backcountry waters, including a few honeyholes that only the locals can clue you in on. Expect to target Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, and Black Drum on light tackle. The guided trips consist primarily of drifting or wade fishing using bait or lures. Half-day and full-day trips are available. You’ll enjoy a fun day on the bay.

Fish within size and bag limits are yours to keep. Capt. J.R. will even clean your catch for you, so it’s hassle-free when you get home. Capt. J.R. will guide you through the local waters aboard a 24’ Center console that holds up to 6 passengers. Lodging is available upon request. Be sure to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group beforehand.

Ready to have the whole family unplug? Then you’ll be glad to know that kids are more than welcome. Everyone 17 and older must have a valid saltwater fishing license. Everyone 14 years of age and younger must wear a life jacket. It’s never a bad idea to bring snacks, drinks, sunblock, and sunglasses.

Port Mansfield has a fish with your name on it – let Big Dog Status Outfitters LLC help you catch it!

Very friendly and conversational. Worked diligently to put us on fish. Caught them on bait and artificials, he was spot on in choosing which to use for my son and I. He would have been good to spend time on the water with even if we hadn’t caught 40+ fish.
