Port Mansfield, Texas, is a skinny-water paradise where anglers flock to take a crack at monster seatrout and fat redfish on the flats of Lower Laguna Madre. But the fishery that feeds this tiny port could be in trouble if the East Cut that offers Gulf access isn't dredged. To get involved or learn more about the efforts to dredge East Cut and Texas hatchery programs, visit ccatexas.org or Texas Parks & Wildlife. If you'd like to have your own flats adventure in the wild country that is South Texas, visit Get-A-Way Adventures Lodge or call (956) 944-4000 to book a stay with Bruce Shuler. You can expect top-shelf accommodations and world-class fishing with the guides featured in this story. The boats are docked right behind the pool out back, and each night Bruce and Shirley cook up everything from deep-fried venison to homemade enchiladas. - Joe Cermele
