Fishing Sabine Lake

Archive for the ‘Redfish’ Category

The fishing action in Sabine Lake is getting better each day.  This past Saturday was all the proof we needed to figure out the speckled trout are doing there thing. We easily limited out on speckled trout with a few nice size slot redfish thrown in with our limit. The trout were caught along the surf using live finger mullet with a few taken on topwaters and plastic. The North end of Sabine Lake is producing lots of schooling redfish and trout action under the birds. Find the schools of ladyfish busting on shad in the lake and the trout are not far behind. Book your trips now for some nonstop action!!

Heres just a few more photos and past catches on trips to let everyone know that you can still catch fish in the heat of the summer! If anyone is interested in booking trips from now untill November catching limits of trout and redfish will be a common occurence. Book now and lets go have some fun and catch some fish!!

This past couple of weeks has been very consistent on Sabine Lake.  The south end of the lake is holding lots of slot redfish. The redfish are under the birds that are picking on ribbon fish. There is also some very big trout mixed in. The ship channel,jetties,and surf fishing is also producing solid catches of redfish and trout. Live bait is doing well with finger mullet and shad being the best choice. Fish the drop offs in the channel in a about 4-8ft depth over scattered reefs. This past Saturday was the annual United Way Williams Fishing Tournament. Alot of redfish,flounder,and trout were weighed in. What a great turn out they had!  Congratulations to all who fished and supported an outstanding charity. Tight lines to all!!

Whenever the winds do decide to lay down and mother nature blesses us with light North winds the beach bite really turns on. Most trout on the beach have been averaging 2-4 pounds with a few going up to the 7pound range.  The key to locating these trout is to  watch the surface area along the beach and look for busting fish. There is alot of bait moving along the surf but if you pay close attention to the certain pods of bait showering, the trout are there. Also there is some solid redfish along the beaches to. We were fortunate enough during the full  moon to catch a redfish 27 inch right at ten pounds, What a pig and a  great tournament red. Book your trips now! Dates are available in August!!

Trout and redfish bit again today with easy limits caught! Actually had a redfish and trout on the same topwater bait. Topwaters still seem to our  weapon of choice! Book your trips soon. Dates in August or filling fast!!

Fished this Saturday with Kris Krause and David Carter and easily caught our limit of trout along with a few nice reds! The bite on Sabine Lake is happening pretty much anywhere you like to fish. There are fish in the lake,jetties,rigs,and beach front. So whomever loves to fish artifical or live bait its happening. This weekend we decided to stick with topwaters and have some fun. The trout and redfish were killing bone chrome she dogs. So its your choice right now on what to throw.  Book your trips now. The  bite is on!!

Fished this afternoon on Sabine Lake and easily caught  nice limits of redfish. The combination of the right moon phase and finally an outgoing tide has got the redfish in a feeding frezy late afternoons. Live finger mullet seem to be the best bait to use carolina rigged. Fish the mouths of the bayous from 5:00 p.m. till dark and hang on to your rod.  Trout action is also picking up especially along the jetties and beach front. As long as these winds begin to lay these fish will bite!

Fished today with the Campos.  Well let me tell you everytime the  Campos come down they always seem to bring the luck  with them and catch their limits. Well today we did  it again. We had 71 trout 4 or 5 sand trout and 3  redfish by 10:30 am.   The bird action was the ticket once again today. The size of the fish are also improving. We had some trout in 3-5 pound range under the birds! If you are on small fish leave that  group untill you can locate bigger fish. A general rule of thumb is that bigger fish travel together and smaller ones stay together in those schools. Sometimes fish will be mixed but here latley there are some schools of really nice size trout mixed with redfish.  Hope to see  the Campos once again because I know we will wear them out. Im beginning to think they are my lucky charm!
