 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!

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:
