About
The Mansfield Club
The Port Mansfield area is famous for its skinny water, tailing reds and schools of hungry trout. In fact, there is no other place on the Texas coast with flats fishing that can compare.
Our Club is located in the city of Port Mansfield, Texas on the Lower Laguna Madre, a long, shallow, hypersaline bay system. This bay system is protected by the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge to the South, and the King Ranch to the North and Padre Island National Seashore to the East. The entire Lower Laguna Madre is approximately 60 miles long and 4 to 6 miles wide, with an average water depth of 3 feet (“skinny water”).
The Laguna is filled with many grass and crystal clear sand flats that hold a variety of inshore species – redfish, speckled trout, snook and flounder. This bay system also offers incredible waterfowl hunting with many year-round and wintering waterfowl.
For heavy tackle enthusiasts, the East Cut which connects the Gulf of Mexico with the Lower Laguna Madre, affords us one of the shortest routes to deep blue water for a variety of sport fishing species – sailfish, marlin, kings and snapper, together with tarpon which run along the beach. Notable hotspots in the Lower Laguna Madre such as Three Islands, the Saucer, and the East Cut are all well known to anglers in the State. Although well known, because Port Mansfield is somewhat remote, you won’t find the maddening crowds that plague the State’s other fisheries.
Here in the midst of this natural bounty you will find The Mansfield Club, a private family fishing and hunting club established to serve the needs of the outdoors-oriented family. This Club was founded by passionate conservationists that also helped found the Coastal Conservation Association of Texas. The Club is one of the oldest continually operated clubs on the Texas coast. Our members and their families love the outdoors and fishing and hunting on the Lower Laguna Madre.
Membership is by invitation only.
