The Sabine King

[trahrob1]

Over the past two years, I am noticing the fishing pressure increasing on Sabine Lake. I grew up in Johnson Bayou and have fished this lake all my life. I have guided for the last 15 years on this lake. Sabine has always been in my opinion the best lake around but it will humble you also. You either slam or bust. For as redfish its a no brainer, a limit of them are no problem. Whats crazy, is that i live now 15 minutes, from calcasieu due to the hurricanes, but i choose NOT TO GUIDE THERE. I am true to my own waters. So why hire guides from Calcasiue to fish Sabine? Hire originals. Just food for thought for the day.

Ive never fished but only know of 2-3 La. guides that do, how many realy do?

WE have atleast 15 guides on Sabine.

Its all W's fault

I grew up fishing out of Johnsons Bayou. Sabine is still my favorite place to fish. You are correct, the Sabine can change day to day. Water clairity and salinity fluctuate more that other coastal lakes. A guide who only fish the Sabine gives you a much better chance of finding fish.

I try to fish the sabine every year for a week, durring eairly summer. Sometimes I get lucky and one of my old holes is holding fish or I just happen upon a school. Most of the time I have to put in some work to figure out what the pattern is.

Because a lot of customers find a guide they like and stick with them, sometimes multiple trips a year. A lot of these customers aren't to worried about how much they catch they just out to have a good time. And when guides from big lake run all they way to Sabine their customers don't even know their going till that morning and probably don't even know Sabine lake exist. Plus the lodges on big lake are a lot closer to the casinos.

First, you never hear about Sabine guides. Second it's not easy to get to Johnson Bayou. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but that's the two things that pops into my head.

Well you will never have to worry about this running to Sabine with customers...if I cant catch them on my lake it is just not going to happen


People hire a guide to fish Big Lake not Sabine so I will stay in Big Lake but have no problem with other guides running to Sabine to fish, just dont make post like you caught them in Big Lake (that does piss me off)

[Superspook]

I also fish sabine only and agree with the capt that guides should for the most part stay on there home waters but there have been times that guys like ****ie colburn and adam jaynes fished alot on big lake.

I just hope sabine does not see the same problems that big lake does now like over crowding and and insane amount of guides. Chances are it will not because of the access and lodging issues but you never know.

I know, logical though, right?? To me, It makes as much scents as insinuating that BL guides have no right to run over to Sabine... And I would never really support keeping TX folks off the site.

We have more Texas people fishing our lake than there own

Why do they drive from Houston and pass up Sabine to fish Big Lake??






O wait.... Our "Lake was Named Trophy Lake " = reason for our 15 trout limit
