    Great trip with Jerry

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    We had a great time with Jerry. Really good and fun personality. My father has wanted to fish the Laguna Madre for years. Goal was to fish speckled trout and redfish. Jerry put us on the speckled trout from the first stop. slowed down there and he put us on them again. We all got our limits. Very good equipment, comfortable boat, and worked hard to keep us fishing. My father added Jerry was very friendly and great service. I highly recommend Jerry for your fishing charters from Port Mansfield.

    Nice weather, but no keepers!

    3 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    Jacob, the guide, has been fishing all his life, so he took us to some of his favorite spots, but the fish weren't cooperating! We caught 3 trout and 1 gaftop which were all undersized! The boat was clean and ran well. We bought croakers before we went out and brought our own drinks and snacks. Everybody enjoyed their time on the bay and when I hear, "Hey, baby que paso, thought I was your only vato..." I'll be reminded of reeling in fish out on the Port Mansfield bay!! 😆

    Response from Captain

    hi Robin im sorry yiu didnt have the best time with us a lot od the times the fish wont coaporate eary in the morning and since we only had 3 hours to fish on a short trip, we probably almost had them., se probably needed a bit more time to get you on some fish, but we will make it happen next time💪 again my apologies

What's biting with Jerry’s Fishing Charters – 32' in Port Mansfield

This time of year is a good time to do some Flounder fishing if you're up for it. The best way to do so is to look for them close to the flats to the south of town.
