4/20/2007
Been working graveyards this week from 7:00pm to 7:30am during our plant outage.
Worked in the yard on the bulkhead and almost have it finished. The weather was right when I got home this morning so I ran out to the North end of Sabine Lake for a few hours before I had to get some sleep. I was greeted by a few Speckled trout and one flounder from 9:00am to 11:00am. I caught 6 Specks with the biggest going 21" down to 16" along with one U/S Speck.
I also picked up the flounder drifting soft plastic along the bottom.
Every Speck I caught came from under a D.O.A popping cork with a D.O.A Key lime shad tail/jig combination. The jig was 24" under the cork. The water was 5 foot deep and 68 F with an incoming tide. The water was in a lot better shape than I expected.
I tried shallower but never got bit.
Looks like the conditions are becoming favorable to a good bite this season.
Tight lines, Mike
