Sabine 7/20 . . .
 

It started off alright with 5 reds, 2 slots, and then the fishing went nuts. The only problem was size. Of the 40+ trout caught only 1 TX keeper. probably had 15 LA keepers. Bait was everywhere, we just couldn't find the size. Will have to reload and go again. Fished LA side, TTF products . . .

sweet. sounds like a fun trip

You have to weed through the pickles to find the keepers. Thanks for the report.

Good job thanks for the report. I found the trout at Sabine on a TTF flats minnow in tx roach or a Hackberry Hustler in opening nite. When the bait is thick try topwater , she dogs and spook jr .
Hope this helps ,and good luck.

The trout were chasing what I think is Ballyhoo (they looked like small needle-nose gar about 5-7 inches long, green backs white bellies). About 10 minutes before the action died, my buddy was reeling his bait back fast and got 2 bites before landing our only keeper red. We may have stumbled on the right technique. Headed to Academy . . . Can anyone suggest another bait that matches the hatch?

we caught all our fish on small popping topwaters last sunday.. chrome with a blue back. baby chug bug or 2 1/2" pop-r.. looks just like the shad theyre feeding on. i also caught 2 fish on 2 casts with the F07s original rapala, but i put it down cause i wanted to see the strike! :rotfl:

Beats a day of work....nice trip.

Thanks! Will be there Sunday . . .

Small needlefish.

You may try Catch 2000's or even the trusty old Rattle Traps. I had good luck with the She Dog in black with Chartruse head . Just dont be afraid to try different things . I caught trout on three diff color plastics and two diff color topwaters and never moved from that spot.

Sabine is my home lake...love fishing the LA Shoreline!!!!


Big thanks for fishing a TTF product!!!!:cool:

I still like catching little trout than nothing at all, especially when you have some nice reds in the box!
