There are sharks everywhere along the Texas coast, but they do move around. I have caught a lot of sharks at the north Mansfield jetty including blacktips, bull sharks, spinner sharks, bonnetheads, and hammerheads. They can be inside the jetty, on the outside of the jetty, or running the beach. You can also find them around any structure as far out as you want to go, especially if snapper are around. Since sandbar sharks have been protected, they have become a nuisance in many areas. Good luck and let us know how you do. There are some big ones out there.

i'll be in port mansfield for a few days in early august coming up. with a boat. It'll be my first time to fish that part of the coast, any recommendations on what i should look for in terms of spots? will be taking kids out hopefully to catch something, reds, drum, whatever. My initial thought was to just fish along the edges of the cut, maybe into some of those side inlets on the south end of the cut. not sure though, would appreciate any advice or pointers in the right direction.
