June 15-17 BASS Open will stop on the Sabine River in Orange, Tx next year in 2017 for a 3 day tournament...

Good stuff. Plan to sign up for all three again on the co angler side.

Will be a dink fest!!

I do like the other 2 lakes on the schedule so after fishing the Opens as a Co this year may do it again next year!

Orange must be really shelling out some cash to get these tournaments. With the new 12" limit it's going to be a total dink fest. I wish TPWD would start putting some more in to getting the system better. What I don't like is guys running to say Taylor's and cleaning small areas out. Those fish never make it back and it can literally kill a whole area because there isn't ant stocking.

Yeah,wish I was confident enough to cut my day in half by running for 4 hours each day.

I'd imagine it stabilizes from year to year as fish make small pushes to new water.

I grew up on Taylor's and Hillebrandt Bayou. That fishery has never really changed except the tidal surge from the last hurricane that hurt the fishing a few years. It has productive areas you just have to know where the unproductive water is which is a lot.

It has a lot of unproductive water and a lot of good spots change from year to year but there are some that always hold fish. The last hurricane put a real hurt on it and they did stock a few bass afterward but not enough I don't think. They did stock a bunch of bream one time but it was supposedly during a big red run and they wouldn't open the gates to let the reds back out and they pretty much demolished all of that. There has been a lot of construction which has the water color muddy most of the time. Just a lot of factors working against it it seems. Not to mention the dump right beside it, sure there's no chemicals getting thru. On the bright side, the Sabine is getting some fish.

Basschamps will showcase this fine fishery. 20lbs will get you paid

Dink fest is right up my alley!

O yea??? Dink fest you say????

Please.....and I mean pretty please......come down here thinking its a dink fest!!!!

I will gladly take your money....

Some of the local tournaments are putting up some big numbers (9-15lbs) 3 fish limits mind you....

But like I said come on down....

(Please note this is in all good fun....not meaning to offend anyone in any way ,shape, or form)

But I am really looking forward to next years schedule.

Should be entertaining.....lots of bass will come to the scales. I grew up on the Sabine and you can always catch fish but sometimes it is tough to catch the bigger bass. But I mainly fish the actual Sabine river and don't venture East or West. Sometimes I fish in Louisiana around the old 90 area or Big Bayou.

30 lbs to win. 20 to get a check would be my prediction

for bass champs 2 days

it will be tougher in june for the open so I would say 13lbs a day could win that

Some of us can't wait!
