The fishing on the north end of Sabine Lake has been fantastic. We are catching limits by 10:30 on trout up to 7lbs. Live bait has been taking most of the fish with shad taking the majority of them. They are also hitting mullet and croaker as well. The best bite has been on an incoming tide. We are fishing the drop offs and the edge of the flats. The bigger fish have been on the drop offs in about 11 ft of water. The south end of the lake in the ship channel has also produced well. The water is green and clear. The best bite has been on an incoming also. The best bait has been glow/chart stanley wedge tail shrimp with a 3/8 jig fished over shell. The short rigs have produced when the wind allows. Purple/Chart have taken most of the fish.

Fishing on Sabine is red hot. The fronts are slowing down and the weather is settling down. The water is clearing up on the south end and the fishing is fantastic. The best bite has been when the tide first starts going out. The best bait has been pumpkin seed/chart tail. The red fishing is really hot right now. The best bait for them has been Gulp! 4" swim minnow pearl white. This bait has also been taking lots of flounder to 4 pounds. If you can get out there when the wind lays downs the water clears up quick. Working the banks in the ship channel has produce most of the fish. The best bite has been in 6-9ft of water with a 3/8 jig. The jetties have been hit or miss due to the wind. Look for them to turn on when the wind lays.

With the wind blowing and the water being muddy, fishing has been tough. The best bite has been for redfish in the marsh and along the shoreline. Pumpkin seed Gulp! swimming minnow have taken the majority of the fish. I had a party out last week and caught a couple on topwater also. The smaller the topwater the better. Bone was the best color. The trout bite has been hit or miss at best. Caught a couple of keepers in Keith Lake cut, and went back the next day and didnt get a bite. The reef is producing some trout but the wind and the muddy water have turned the lake in to a nightmare. Flounder fishing is turing on. Had a party out and end up with 6 Texas keepers and numerous throw backs. As soon a the wind and the water settle out fishing should turn. I look for the bite to be RED HOT for redfish at the jetties as soon a the weather allows.
