CAPTAIN CHARLIE FARRELL’S
PORT MANSFIELD FISHING REPORT
FEB. 26, 2005
Strong north winds (25 mph) coupled with stained water led us to a day of fishing areas around the East Cut. With a strong outgoing tide we were able to find a few trout, reds and flounder along drop offs in 3 to 4 feet of water. Though a slow retrieve generated the most action the bite was actually pretty aggressive. TRKs in Red and White along with the new Laguna Melon color produced best for trout and reds. A 5 pound flounder was landed on a White and Chartreuse TTKII Jr. This bait has worked well for all species but it’s really evident the flounder like it. Topwaters were thrown briefly without success. Spring fishing presents many challenges with passing frontal systems. Sometimes you can’t just sit back and wait for that perfect day.
Good Fishing,
Capt. Charlie Farrell
