Simon Holt and David Creel made the trip back down to Sabine lake this week end. It was almost a year ago they fished with me, the weather was about 30 degrees cooler then. We set out for the lake about 6:20 am. with the wind already building from the South. The fog was heavy in places but we made good time. When we arrived at the lake the Gulls were wheeling and diving all over the North end of the lake, it was hard to make up our minds on which flock to work. We were disappointed that most of the trout were just under sized so we moved around until we found some solid fish further South. There were a lot of rat reds mixed in with the trout and a few slot sized ones also. The bigger Reds hit a Hoganar. The trout ate glow/ chrt. Shad tails and the longer 5 inch version also. Not as many fish on the larger plastic but fewer throw backs. The waves were brutal but the Gulls didn't mind as they worked up until around 11:00am. Simon managed to put a nice 16 inch Flounder in the boat while we were catching trout. He caught it on a Pumpkin seed/Chart assassin. I guess he had a Sabine slam"Red fish, Speckled trout, Flounder" technically but the Red he caught wasn't keeper sized, Oh well maybe next time.After the bird bite quit we drifted the same areas with out much success. We moved up in shallow and found a few more trout scattered in 2 to 3 foot of water. We ended the day with 11 trout up to 3 lb. and one 25 inch Red along with the single 16 inch Flounder. We caught probably another 20 trout but they were just shy of the 15 inch limit. We were thankful that the front held off until we got our day done but boy that South wind was killer! As a matter of fact I'm still wobbling on solid ground, I haven't got my land legs back yet. Had a good time and some laughs with David and Simon today, hope we can fish again next year. Tight lines, Mike
