Port Mansfield is one of the most popular fishing destinations on the Texas Gulf Coast, located on the Laguna Madre, opposite Port Mansfield Channel in northeastern Willacy County, Texas. Once an isolated and obscure fish camp known as Red Fish Landing, today Port Mansfield is recognized as one of the ten top fishing locations in the United States.

Port Mansfield offers fishermen access to the Laguna Madre, Padre Island and the Gulf of Mexico. Boaters and fishermen enjoy the uncrowded and unpolluted environment of Port Mansfield and South Texas.


Each July the Port Mansfield Chamber of Commerce sponsors a Fishing Tournament attracting anglers from all over the State of Texas to compete. The fishermen compete for prizes and trophies for both Offshore Fish, such as marlin and sailfish and for Inshore / Bay Fish, such as trout and red fish. Come to Port Mansfield, Texas, and experience the fishing trip of a lifetime!

Brief History of Port Mansfield

PORT MANSFIELD, TEXAS...... Port Mansfield is a port and fishing community on the Laguna Madre opposite Port Mansfield Channel in northeastern Willacy County, Texas. At one time in early Texas history, Port Mansfield was an isolated fishing camp known as Red Fish Landing. The port was opened in 1950 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to be used as a harbor between Corpus Christi and Brownsville. It was named for United States Representative Joseph J. Mansfield, who introduced the Mansfield Bill authorizing the extension of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande.

In 1957, when the first pass was cut through Padre Island, the little settlement had a few residences, some port buildings, a motel and one store, and a few fishing cabins. The final Port Mansfield Channel was completed across Padre Island in 1962. The ensuing tidal exchange between the Gulf of Mexico and the Laguna Madre produced an abundant population of redfish, brown shrimp, and flounder, and greatly expanded the sport and commercial fish economy of Port Mansfield.

In 1966 its population was reported as 525; from 1968 to 1990 it was reported as 731. Port Mansfield in the early 1990s had mail service through the community post office at Raymondville. In 1991 a major development was proposed for Padre Island directly across the Laguna Madre from Port Mansfield. In 2000 the population dropped to 415.....Read more here at:

Fishing with the Pettys
Captains Janie and Freddy Petty, Fishing out of Laguna Vista, Texas, have been guiding saltwater fishing trips on the shallows of the Lower Laguna Madre for over 25 years. Being born and raised right here in the lower Rio Grande Valley, we both have a deep love and respect for the bay that has become the center of our life's work. Freddy spent most of his youth tagging along with the "old timers" while learning more about this bay than anyone I know. I grew up fishing with my father in the surf and offshore. We each captain an 18' scooter made especially for stalking trout and redfish in the amazingly clear skinny water we call home.
