We made a big effort to be up very early one morning so we could go fishing at the South Pier in Port Mansfield Texas and try to have a shot at catching some early morning speckled trout. @Eduardo “Oso” would be giving his effort toward using his new bait caster setup. Setting up the drag on the new reel and getting it dialed in will take some time and experience. Avoiding the birds nest is something I still try to deal with after over four decades of fishing so it was no surprise that Eduardo is learning all about it.
Let me just say that this morning was special because it was one of the very first times that we are actually on the water before day break on a long distance trip. The sunrise definitely set the bar for what we want to see in the future.
After trying our luck that morning at the pier we tried a couple of more spots including a bulkhead that we plan to revisit on our next trip.
Port Mansfield really does have a lot to offer and we know we only got a glimpse of it on this day.
