June 2006
The fish have really showed up at the jetties. The wind has been laying in
the morning allowing for some great fishing till late in the afternoon. The
key is to fish the tides. The beach has also been hot early in the morning.
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 solid 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 best 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 solid 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 Louisiana shoreline has paid off the
best. The best bite has been on an out going tide. The best colors have been
red shad and morning 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 Louisiana shore has been
the best bet for trout and flounder. Drift fishing has paid off with the best
baits being Red shad or Morning 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 seem to be Redshad or morning glory. With the fronts
coming in pretty regularly now the wind doesn't allow to many picture perfect
days for fishing. Its cold one day and almost hot the next. If you put in
a little time you will find some great winter fishing action.
