A Comprehensive Sabine Lake Guide For Fishing

By Peter Wilson


There are plenty of fishing spots in the southern United States, but only a few of them stand out. Most prime areas for angling are the tributaries that drain into the Gulf of Mexico. This article is a well documented Sabine Lake guide for anglers looking to explore the waterway.

In total, Sabine Lake is estimated to be about 90000 acres in size. It lies squarely on the border between Texas and Louisiana. As its water is salty, you should only expect to catch salt water fish. The lake was formed as a result of the conglomeration of the waters of the Sabine River and Neches River. It has a length of 14 miles and a width of 7 miles. Its tidal outlet empties the water into the Gulf of Mexico.

Being a large water body, it is home to a thriving ecosystem of plants and marine life. The climatic conditions of the nearby areas are largely influenced by the water body. It is a key fishing spot for anglers thanks to its significant population of fish species. Many love it for the all year long availability of amberjack, flounder, red snapper, dorado, speckle trout, red fish and trout just to name a few.

Live bait is the most common type of bait among newcomer fishermen. What they do not often know is artificial lures work just as well in Sabine Lake. One need not waste a ton of money buying pricey live bait such as shrimp.

There are numerous fishing groups that have years of experience fishing in the waterway. They operate captained vessels and give angling expeditions at a fee. The best part is that they provide all the gear that one needs for angling, so you need not purchase them along the way. The one thing you should be sure to do is to only board a vessel that is captained by an individual who is licensed by the Coast Guard.

Rates vary from group to group and are primarily dependent on how long you will be out there fishing. A typical full day fishing trip lasts eight hours and may cost between $550 and $600. Accommodation is available at the many establishments operating in the surrounding areas. You might want to ask your captain whether accommodation will be included in the pricing.

It is important to note that the captain always reserves the right to make cancellations based on arising factors. These include bad weather, equipment failure and other circumstances that may be beyond his control. You should get a full refund for any cancellation nonetheless.

The beauty of the Sabine is the fact that one is assured of a good catch any time of the year. There are anglers who visit in summer, winter, fall and spring. The only thing that may change in between the seasons is the fishing technique used.

As a typical fishing expedition lasts a couple of hours, you might want to pack something light to eat so as to keep your energy levels up. You should also wear a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen as well as carry a camera. An ice chest would also be essential for fish storage.
