Made a run to Baton Rouge yesterday and purchased my Louisiana guide license. I made it back in time to wet a hook and see whats going on in the evening. The Red fish had full bellies from the morning bite but I did catch 3 Speckled trout in 14 foot of water on the Sabine river.
The Glow/Chrt. DOA shad tails are still catching fish on the deeper breaks in the river.
The Red fish bite is still strong but they seem to bite better before 1:00pm.
I tried a glow/chrt clouser on an Orvis depth charge sinking line but I only got one strike and didn't stick the fish.
Any way at least I had time to fish for a couple of hours and got fish on my hands.
I have open dates left in December and I'm legal to fish in Louisiana now so give me a shout if you want to get in on the fantastic red fish bite that's still going on in the river
Tight lines, Mike
