Rob Lord had sampled fishing on the flats of Bessie Heights marsh last month. This time he wanted to check out the fishing of Sabine lake. Rob brought his wife Jamie along this time for the half day trip. The bite for me had been later in the day so I had Rob and Jamie meet me at the dock at 10:00am. As we shut down the big motor and glided to a stop the lake was starting to get slick. It wasn't long before Jamie had a fish on using a D.O.A. popping cork and soft plastic, unfortunately it came off before we got the net under it. It wasn't long before we had a few fish in the boat.Since the tide was a little bit different today we opted to move out into the mid lake area to look for signs of fish. As we came to a stop further out I could hear the tell tell sounds of trout slurping shrimp on the surface. We trolled within casting distance and the action was on. There seemed to not be as many fish holding in one school as the days before so we picked up and moved again fishing the same pattern for most of the time. As the tide got closer to the right point I moved back to our original starting point and soon we were hooked up with solid trout with a few Red fish mixed in. Later that day we got a call of some big Red fish working about 2 miles from our location so we headed that way. Upon our arrival two boats came running between us and the shore line where the big Reds had been smashing Mullet and artificial baits, "She dogs". We waited for the area to settle back down but it was no use. We never caught the first Red fish at this location. The good news was we added to our catch of solid keeper trout. We did catch a few U/S specks in the area but Rob caught the largest trout of the trip on a She Dog there. We finished the short trip with Ten solid Trout and One healthy Slot sized Red. We caught most of our fish on Glow/ Chrt. Assassins fished under a rattle popping cork. The second best bait was a Gold cast master spoon then the She Dog still held it's own.
