Fishing Sabine Lake

Fished today with Big Mike aka (Speedy) and his coworker from US pipeline. Today we fished in Calcasieu Lake. We fished live shad in the ship channel and caught about a dozen or so trout.  We didn’t catch but about 30 shad for bait to fish with. Betwen the ladyfish, hardheads, and slinging them off the hook ,when casting ,they didn’t last very long.  I know we would of have caught alot more fish with more shad available because I watched a boat 100 yards from me stroke them!! They had plenty of bait.  We finally caught more shad, but by the time we found them, the bite died. Also you had to be in that sweet spot. Even though we got the short end of the deal on trout, Speddy got his wish. He caught a big redfish.  It was a fun day to fish somewhere different. Hope we get to do it again guys.
