Great report. Thanks for posting. Sounds like you gave it all you had. Sorry about the new battle wounds. Hopefully they're not too bad.

We went to the back of hill lake on 6-mile, about 2miles back into Socogee looking for some clear water, into Murval a little ways, and a few other smaller feeders. Hit many sandbars and just about any place that looked like it might be holding a fish. 3 people in the boat, and we did not boat a single fish. My boat has several new battle scars from being back in the creeks, it was an adventure.

The best report we got was 6 fish in one boat, a first hand report of 4, and a whole lot of nothings. I'm pretty decent at finding those fish over a wide range of conditions and it was a humbling trip.

The water is now as high as I've aver attempted to fish it. Lots of debris blowing down the river. Whole trees in some cases, but lots of stuff to tear up a boat if you're not paying attention for just a few seconds. Current swift enough to get you in trouble if you're not experienced at navigating moving water.

If there was one good thing about it, we saw quite a bit of wildlife. With the river being up to and out of the banks you can see across land, not just the banks like anything significantly lower.

If you must go, then Jane's high water ramp is good, as was 2517 when we left. We used both.

Also be aware, the ants are piled up on driftwood and on trees. Not good to discover that by mistake. We saw several decent colonies of them over a few days.

I'm going to wait til the river comes down and make another attempt at it, hopefully within a couple weeks.

Short answer is yes and pretty much all the other normal run areas

We ran all over the river and hit every spot you mentioned last week (and some you didn't). Our group lucked into a big pile of whites on Wednesday of last week, but the rain blew them out by the next day. I personally only caught 10 fish last week and I fished as hard as I have ever fished the Sabine.

Are any of you guys using side imaging to try to find them?


The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?

I have SI on my boat, and couldn't pin down any concentrations the whole time I was there.

Both boats used side imaging and with the exception of Wednesday a week ago, couldn't mark any white bass concentrations.

Yep, its on big time and the spawn is imminent. Should stay terrific until the spawn and/or predicted rains in the next few days.

Went yesterday. Caught and released 14. Some in creeks and some on sandbars. River going down but still really muddy.

My son and I went Saturday evening and caught 10. We put in at the 2517 bridge and went up river. The fish we caught was up against some flooded brush. It sure wasn't the numbers I've caught in the past...
