Guide Review - Get-A-Way Adventures Lodge
The tiny village of Port Mansfield is legendary for the fishing access it provides to the Texas' Lower Laguna Madre bay system. Located on the water in Port Mansfield is one of Texas' finest saltwater fishing lodges - Get-A-Way Adventures Lodge.

Owned and operated by personable hosts Capt. Bruce and Shirley Shuler, Get-A-Way offers fishermen much more than just a 'place to lay their head' after a day on the water. Each room is comfortable and the main lodge house features a big screen television, pool table and ample dining space. In that dining space, guests are treated to some of the finest food to be found at a fishing lodge, thanks to Shirley and her staff.

Outside, spacious decks offer visitors an unobstructed view of Mansfield Harbor and the Lower Laguna. Guests also have access to a swimming pool and hot tub. Those who didn't get their fill of fishing during the daylight hours also have the option of fishing off the lighted dock at night.

Although Port Mansfield is somewhat logistically challenging - as it is, after all, literally at the end of the road - a visit there can also be very rewarding for fishermen. And, those looking to make the trek to this fishing village would be well-served to stay at Get-A-Way Adventures Lodge.
