Spend the day with Big Dog Status Outfitters getting to know the waters around Port Mansfield like never before.

Here you'll have access to inshore and backcountry waters, including a few honeyholes that only the locals can clue you in on.

Capt. J.R. specializes in flounder gigging, and that's what you can expect on the day of your trip. You can also do a bit of spinning, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, drifting, and maybe more your guide wants to show you. Capt. J.R. will provide gigs for you and your group, just come prepared to take aim!

Top targets include Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Black Drum, Snook, Redfish, and more with any luck.

Fish that are legal to harvest are yours to take home. Capt. J.R. can even clean your catch for you so it's easy to cook. That's dinner, right there! Capt. J.R. will guide you through the local waters aboard a 24' Center console that can carry up to 6 passengers.

Everyone in your group should buy a local fishing license ahead of time. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply. You're encouraged to dress in layers and the proper footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock, rain or shine.

This is a kid-friendly experience, so feel free to bring the whole family along and pack any snacks or extra clothing they need. Remember to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you'll have to bring your own.

Big Dog Status Outfitters is ready to take you out on the water. Time to make it happen!
