"If fishing lodges were rated by stars, Get-A-Way Adventures would be a five-star lodge, hands down.  Bruce, Shirley, and Brandon are the most professional, knowledgeable, and friendly staff I've ever fished with along the Texas Coast.  Book a trip - you won't be disappointed!

Doug Stange, Editor In Chief, In-Fisherman Publications and TV

"Getaway Adventures Lodge is one of the nicest adventure spots that I've experienced in over 25 years in the fishing industry. Great food and lodging. Absolutely walk-out-the-door handy access to the fishing. The Laguna Madre remains one of the most beautiful places on earth. Most of all, it's some of the best fishing up and down the Gulf Coast, especially when you can wade right in after the trout and reds."

Ken Schultz, Fishing Editor, ESPNOutdoors.com

"THE LAGUNA MADRE is an incredible area along the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Texas, and Port Mansfield is a great place to access much of it. Super fishing can be booked and enjoyed out of Capt. Shuler's facility right on the water in Port Mansfield Harbor. His Getaway Adventures Lodge is a fine, comfortable, and reasonably priced, family-style lodge, and his crew of guides is tops at stalking trout and reds, most of which is done in very thin water and by wading. The end result is great light-tackle excitement."

Mark Davis, Host: Big Water Adventures T.V. Show

"Get-A-Way Adventures is the gem of the Texas gulf coast.  The guides, the lodge, the food, and the fishing team up with the overall ambience of the waterfront to create an unforgettable experience. I travel all over the country fishing and hunting and I always make sure to head down to see Bruce and Shirley every year. Whether relaxing, fishing, or hunting, Get-A-Way adventures has what you're looking for."

Robert Sloan, Regional Editor, Saltwater Sportsman Magazine

"What you'll find at Getaway Adventures Lodge is a whole lot of mind numbing comfort mixed with down home humor, great cooking, and some the finest inshore and offshore fishing this side of paradise. As an outdoors writer for over 27 years I've visited some of the best lodges on earth. Getaway Adventures Lodge is at the top of my list for fun in the sun with a rod and reel. Hosts Bruce and Shirley have a way of making you feel like family at a home away from home."

Larry Ladowski, Mid-West Outdoors Magazine & TV

"Captain Shuler's Get-A-Way Adventures Lodge is a family-style operation that does things in a BIG way. From the home-cooked meals to the fabulous fishing variety of the Laguna Madre, their location and operation is first-rate. Getting the opportunity to wade for trout and flounder as well as off-shore fish for red-snapper, kings and more is definitely one of the highlights of my fishing career!"

Mark McDonald, Editor Texas Sporting Journal

"The fishery is spectacular, with tailing redfish in the flats no more than five minutes from the dock -- maybe two minutes. Offshore action on the big blue is readily available, too. Your guides are well-equipped, knowledgeable, conservation-minded and jolly companions on the water.
The Get-Away itself is set up and operated beautifully. Not many lodges have such large decks and common areas, combined with separate sleeping quarters. Guests may toast the sunset together, then retire to their own rooms to enjoy their privacy. If I had a lodge, this is how I would do it.
There may be a finer fishing lodge on the Texas coast; but I'm still searching for it . . ."

"First class does not adequately describe the lodging and hospitality I experience when staying at the Getaway Adventures Lodge. I have been coming for five years now; and, I, along with everyone who has joined me, feels like they are an extension of the Shuler family. The food is great, the fellowship is great and sitting on the deck overlooking the bay as the sun goes down is priceless. If you like to see wildlife, take a drive through town and see herds of whitetails and Rio Grande turkeys. Oh, and the fishing is pretty good, too. There is a reason the lodge is always full."

“Traveling across the United States and visiting many other countries in my work I have had the enjoyment of staying in many lodges and accommodations of outfitters. From a safari tent in Africa, a high camp in Wyoming, or a small fishing village in a coastal area, all have had some good and, a few, some “not so good” qualities.”
“I must admit here Texas is very special to me and I believe once a Texan always a Texan. I am a Texan. My favorite place on the Texas Gulf Coast Is the Shuler’s GETAWAY ADVENTURES LODGE located in Port Mansfield. The combination of the fishing, food, and furnishings make for a very comfortable and pleasant visit, BUT it’s the Shuler’s themselves that are the excellence factors at GET-AWAY-LODGE. Capt. Bruce and his fishing guides on the water, and Shirley in the lodge seeing to the contentment of their guests are matchless.”
“I guess the word “GUESTS” sums up GETAWAY ADVENTURES LODGE. I have observed first hand that visitors are not treated as customers they are truly GUESTS.”

Richard Ray, Dallas TV Anchor & News Executive

"The lodge, the fishing, the view and the impromptu tour of town after dark when dozens of deer were moving to the water were a wonderful experience! We'd love to go back."

 The minute that I leave Get Away Adventures Lodge I’m dreaming about going back. Incredible inshore and offshore sport fishing opportunities abound in this beautiful region of the Texas Gulf Coast, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than on a trip to Capt. Bruce & Shirley Shuler’s seaside resort. Get Away Adventures is all that a great fishing vacation destination should be. The lodge is clean and modern with all the comforts of home. You’ll enjoy great food and a friendly, helpful staff that makes you feel like family. On the water, Capt. Bruce and his great guides take you to the very best fishing spots. You can wade the flats and go toe to toe with big redfish at your level or wear out your arms on line stripping king mackerel in the deep blue water. These are just a few of the many thrill rides available to anglers. Get Away Adventures is an experience of a lifetime. Good luck!
