Doug Taber and his sons booked a trip for Tuesday morning a week ahead of time . At the time the forecast called for light winds and a 20% chance of rain. The day they drove in from Dallas the forecast went to 60% with heavy Tstorms and lightning. For once the weather man got it right. 6:00Am saw really bad storms invade our area. We called it off until 8:00Am as the cells were moving towards Houston. We still stayed close to home most of the day in case the cells redeveloped. Apparently the fish didn't like the storms either as we struggled all day. We did catch a few under sized fish but it was mostly casting practice the majority of the day. I made a complete circle around Sabine lake and never saw any signs of feeding activity. The only sign was when we 1st hit the lake at 8:20Am with gulls working the east pass area. As soon as we got with in casting distance the birds and fish disappeared, we didn't get a single strike!

The end of the day ended with 2 nice slot sized Red fish taken on a popping cork and Texas roach shad tail. The saying is " A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work", well if your a guide this doesn't apply but it goes with the territory. Some days you win some days you loose, that's why they call it fishing!

The bite will improve no doubt as the conditions improve.

Tight lines, Mike
