Sabine strike out

Fished the North West end of Sabine Sunday morning with little to show for it. The bait was thick but the fish weren’t there. I managed one flounder on a corky, two blowups on a topwater, one missed flounder on a gulp jerk shad, and missed a redfish on a corky. The weather was nice, but the fishing could have been better. I guess that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching.

First time in sabine

On the way home from the IFA championship in Alabama we decided to stop and fish the north end of Sabine on the Texas side. After two days of punishment from the Fish Gods we caught a break and a ton of fish. The Red fish and Trout were stirring up the shrimp and the birds were getting the extras. The only word that could explain the day would be total chaos. At the end of the day we had two limits of Reds and two limits of Trout. Fish were caught on Gulp shrimp under a popping cork, topwaters, plastics, and corkys.
I could go on for days about how great the fishing was but I will let the pictures do the talking.

IFA REDFISH TOUR

The fishing was tough this weekend with the 20+ mph winds and two tide days, but I was able to catch one fish on Sunday (with the help of my fishing partner Travis) and luckily it was a 28" red. That one fish was enough to take the biggest red for the tournament (second time in a row) fifth place, and now I am tied in first place for Texas angler of the year.

The picture was taken in the pelican not the Hobie. I needed a confined space to keep this monster under control, and the Hobie has no confined space.

I couldn't have done it without a Berkley GULP jerk shad, my Hobie mirage outback, Shimano reel, Castaway rod, and a spool of Pline.
