Can you catch redfish in the Neches or Sabine Rivers where they empty into Sabine Lake? Or are these kind of fish just in the lower part of the lake by Sabine Pass? I appreciate any help.

Reds are all over the Sabine system (North to South)and in the rivers mentioned. Run the LA bayous too and hit the points and cuts. Gulp under a cork works well, as do soft plastics. If you get in the marsh ponds, keep a spinnerbait handy, the reds hammer those too. Try baits with some chartreuse color, tail dye, jig head. Good luck.

Thanks for the help Shearwater!

Hey Shearwater I didn't see you on the lake Saturday! Caught some really nice specks on Corkys near Stewt's island. The bite stopped when that 20 mph northwest wind switched to the north at 30 mph. Would up with six fish over 20" in about 2 hours fishing. Not bad for the conditions.

I didn't see me there either. :-) Been tied up on a project - my boat is trying to 'buck out' of the garage... Glad to hear you are still having good success out there. Best of luck.

I have been fishing the coastline and bays mainly Kyak and wading on the paninsula but I now have a bass boat where is a good place to put in out there I have drove around out there but the storm has every thing so screwed up I cant find a suitable boat ramp any suggestions maybe I could follow one of you guy's out on a calm day and show me the lake

I started fishing Sabine out of a bass boat. I like the Park on Pleasure Island just N of the MLK bridge. See sign for Sharkys Bait and Grille, turn there. Also on the South end the LA launch across the causeway is open. North end try the launch under the Bridge next to Esthers in PA - http://www.estherscajunseafood.com/
Also try the River Rats Marina launch off of the river at Adams Bayou and Plant Road - it drops you in the river just upstream of the power lines and you can fish some of the protected stuff/bayous up there and also stick your nose into the lake. I carry both the TX and LA fishing licenses to be safe - the LA bayous are worth a shot. Check out Google earth maps and use the satellite feature and it will open your eyes. There are other launches but these are the only ones I have used. I am sure ithers will chime in. Also, the lake can get mean when it blows - so wear your PFDs and respect the conditions. Check out Dickie Colburns reports at www.sabinelake.blogs.com too. Good luck.

you no to be honest I am new to that area down there lived in beaumont for years but just recentlly started going down there I know pleasure island (and I hate to say this)just never knew I was at sabine lake granted havent taken my boat there yet but was there a couple weeks ago and caught only one small croaker

for some reason when I do the google of that area its to dark to see

You could try the Fresh/Salt water Barier..I dont have a boat but I see alot of people taking there boats there! Hope this helps and if you ever need a co-pilot I would be willing to tag along!

Hey Rick... I haven't forgot about you. Just waiting for the weather to turn around. Especially the wind... LOL. Hopefully it won't be long before we can start hitting it on a regular basis.

I went in there a few weeks ago went east on the river to the first creek on the left trolled way up in there was fishing for anything through everything under the sun at them live, dead and artificial but caught nothing not even a bump went back up to the dam and the same maybe need to go further towards (SE) the gulf but I always need a partner cant ever find anybody to hold the rope but I usually go out in the middle of the week

You say the word and Ill be ready! I work in the oilfield and were kinda slow right now so anytime in the week is fine with me.Not havin a boat is kinda killin me! Thank's again IKE!

well next week on wed. I have some friends coming in from Austin I am going to take them down to Sabine or just to McFadden yall are welcome if you would like to do some surf fishin with us I have a yak I pull the baits out with
P.S. I brew beer I will be bringing a keg
