Sabine Lake fishing is great we are still catching limits of trout to 4 lbs under the birds in the middle of the lake and on the south end. The brown shrimp have started moving out to the gulf the best bite on out going tide. I have been fishing the birds early in the morning and then shell flats and mussel flats with glow/ chart plastics with 1/4 oz jigs. and topwater she dogs picking up speckled trout and red fish mixed in and flounder. On the Louisiana shoreline the sabine channel is picking up for speckled trout on incoming tides. We have trout to 7 lbs when the wind will lays and the water is clear. The sabine pass jetties is a hit or and miss; the winds and the rain has not let us fish the jetties a lot this month. We are catching good trout off the jetties rocks when we can get out to fish them. Best bait is topwater early and when the sun comes up go to glow/chart with 1/4 jigs.

Sabine Lake fishing is great under the birds. We have had the birds working all month long catching trout to 4 lbs on glow/chart plastics tipped with fish bite shrimps. The fishing is the best in the middle of the lake on the south end when the wind lays the shrimp are coming up and the trout are feeding on them. Also the ribbon fish are showing up and the bigger trout are running them. The Louisiana shore line is still great for flounder. The first 2 weeks of the month the bite has slowed down as the water is warming up. The sabine pass ship channel is producing some speckled trout to 6 lbs when the wind is not too strong. The sabine jetties is great fishing for bigger trout to 7 lbs - we have had limits when the wind lays; best bait is top water early and then glow/chart 1/4 jig. Red fishing is picking up at the Sabine Jetties with limits of redfish to 20 lbs.
