August 2006
I dont know why mother nature likes to play jokes on outdoorsmen/women but she does. It seems like everytime the lake starts shaping up for its regular summer pattern the bottom falls out and we get 5" of rain in one day. The fishing at the Sabine Pass Jetties is still great however. The best bait is on an incoming and slack tide. On one trip last week our party caught 30 trout in hour and a half. They hit plastics well but they hammered the catch 2000 in the glow color. They want the bait popped not jigged. The topwater bite is still good. Best color has beeen soild black top dog.

On the offshore scene the action has been steady. The ling are in pretty close. The triple tail fishing has also been steady. Find a good patch of weeds and you will find the triple tail. They can be finicky sometimes but the best baits seem to be live shrimp under a popping cork.

July 2006
The fishing at the Sabine Jetties has still been hot. The best bite has been on an incoming tide early in the morining. The best colors have been glow/chart plastics when the water is clear. When the wind kicks up and the water is off, the best color has been pumpkin seed/chart soft plastics. The topwater bite has been outstanding before sunrise until about 1 hour after sun up. The best color has been glow she dogs. On the beach front the bite has been good when the wind allows the green water to reach the beach. The best bite has been topwater in chrome/blue back top dogs.

June 2006
The fish have really showed up at the jetties. The wind has been laying in the morining allowing for some great fishing til late in the afternoon. The key is to fish the tides. The beach has also been hot early in the morining. Topwater seems to been the best bait in the surf. The best color has been Glow She Dogs. Once the bite in the surf slow you have a couple of options. You can fish the short rigs or go to the jetties. The short rigs has been hit or miss, but when its right its outstanding. Trout, TripleTail, Spanish Mackerel, Jacks, Redfish, Sharks and even Ling. We hooked about a 30lb Ling about 2 miles off the beach, so bring your heavy tackle with you. The best bait has been Glow/Chart bass assassins. Live bait has also been a killer, mullet and croakers beening the best baits.

May 2006
Fishing has been good when the wind lays. The fish are starting to show up at the Jetties. The best colors have been Pumpkin Seed/Chart with a 1/4 ounce jig head. The fish want the bait right on the bottom. We are also catching some fish on live bait. Live shrimp have been the best when we can get them but we are also catching some soild fish on mullet and shad. The lake has been hit and miss. One day the birds are working and the next they are not working at all. The best baits have been red/whits shrimp tails lures. Topwater is also taking it fair share of nice trout. The besr color has been white with a red head.

April 2006
The birds or still working in lake when you can get out there due to the wind. Shrimp tail jigs have been working great. Anything in a white or pink have been taking good numbers of keeper fish. When the conditions allow topwater has been the ticket for big soild keeper trout. Glow has been the hot color with some also being taken on chart/red head top dogs. The big fish have been on the outside edges of the birds. Keith Lake has really turned on as of late. The best bite has been on an incoming tide in the cut, bouncing jigs off the bottom. Depending on the water clarity the best baits have been glow/chart or cee biscuit in clear water or limetruse and red shad in muddy water.

March 2006
Fishing has been great in the lake when the wind is not blowing. Drift fishing in front of the bayous on the Louisanna shoreline has paid off the best. The best bite has been on an out going tide. The best colors have been red shad and morining glory, with 1/4 ounce jig head. When the wind has been to strong we are fishing the ship channel and the intercoastal waterways. The best bite has been on an incoming tide. The best colors have been cee biscuit fished with a 1/8 jig head. Flounder fishing has been hit or miss. One day you can go and catch 10 to 15 keepers and the next day you may only have 1 or 2 keepers. The best baits have been chart. split tail jigs tipped with shrimp.

February 2006
The trout and flounder fishing has improved. With the lack of rain that we have had has spread the fish over Sabine Lake. I found the best fishing has been on an outgoing tide. Fishing near the Louisanna shore has been the best bet for trout and flounder. Drift fishing has paid off with the best baits being Red shad or Morining Glory Bass Assassins. There has been some bird action on the north end of the lake, but it is hit and miss. With the water warming quickly this should push the flounder fishing up an couple of weeks. It should be a banner spring!

January 2006
The birds are still working just not as much as earlier in the fall. Redfish are steady in the North end of the lake when the wind allows you to fish up there. Best colors eem to be Redshad or morining glory. With the fronts coming in pretty regularly now the wind doesnt allow to many picture perfect days for fishing. Its cold one day and alomost hot the next. If you put in alittle time you will find some great winter fishing action.
