Port Mansfield Fishing Report

Mar 27, 2024
GOOD. 71 degrees. Fishing slowed a bit, possibly because of coming off the full moon, bluebird days and high barometric pressure. Under these conditions we still managed to catch some good quality fish. We were able to get a reaction out of big redfish and trout by throwing Mansfield Knockers despite the less than ideal conditions. Some action on junior Wigalos by dusting the bottom of the water column. High boat traffic also made fishing challenging. Water temperatures were holding in the mid 70s, so we will soon be wet wading. Spring is here so expect windy days and when you deal with high winds consider the Kwigglers 4 inch paddle tails. Most fish are still holding in potholes in about 2 feet of water.lllk tReport by Captain Wayne Davis, Hook Down Charters. The weather has been fair, with rising temperatures. Our winds and tides have been high, which is usual for this time of year. Redfish and speckled trout have been biting on baits up shallow in about knee to thigh deep water around scattered grass and potholes. Straight tails, Soft-Dines and Corky’s are still producing good quality speckled trout and redfish. Stay safe out on the water, keep what you need and release the rest. As always tight lines! New regulations for trout went into effect this week; three fish daily bag limit per angler, a minimum size of 15 inches and a maximum size limit of 20 inches, one oversized trout greater than 30 inches allowed as part of daily bag limit. Report by Captain Reanna DeLaCruz, Captain Reanna’s Baffin Bay Adventures.
