We are now staying at a nice RV Park in Port Mansfield, TX. The park is full of deer so Jim has started feeding them. One guy in the park gave Jim a bag of animal crackers to feed the deer. It turns out that the deer love them. All the stores sell deer corn because it is not illegal in Texas to feed deer. Its kind of sad that you can have deer feeders and then shoot the deer that you have lured in during deer season. There are hundreds of deer that hang around Port Mansfield. They are in everyones yards and they are fairly tame. They are also very small so not much meat on them.
There are several boat launches in town that dump you into the Laguna Madre. Everyone that is staying in this town fishes. The Laguna is over 10 miles wide and several hundred miles long following the coast down all the way to Brownsville. The Padre Islands separate the Laguna from the Gulf. You can get to the Gulf through the Port Mansfield cut. They actually dug a channel (cut) through Padre Island in order to get out to the Gulf. The Laguna is only 1 to 5 feet deep so you need a fairly flat bottomed boat to fish it.
