Winter time trout fishing for me has been terrible! Sabine lake has been messed up with all the fresh water which has made trout fishing difficult. After 9 trips to Sabine and frozen point and East bay I ne'er caught the first fish, it was hard on me. Well with the northern winds we had I decided to get rid of the skunk and find a marsh drain for some reds.
I fished TB and nothing in the channels or even the flats but then I made my way back and see a tail. I hang into one and 5-6 more scatter. I proceeded to land 8 reds that were all schooled up pushing bait along the shoreline, I had 2 that were 27 7/8" 1-29" 1-31" and the rest were 25-26"
I think that it was a good way to get rid of the black cloud over my head!
Finally!!

OH! the mud picture was the imprint of where a flounder was laying before moving off the flats, i thought it was pretty cool
Re: Finally!!
Nice. I plan to go somewhere Saturday. What was the water clarity in the main channel and the backwater? My son flew over TB Sunday morning and said it looked muddy.

Re: Finally!!
Yea it wasn't the greatest when I went, the backwater on the flats was more clear than the channel
