More fishing than catching for me on Sabine!

I postponed every trip this week, but still burned a lot of gas and covered a lot of water determined to figure out something on Sabine.  I am aware of the fact that the fish have to feed sometime, but I still haven't figured out where or when it is happening.   The water is badly off-colored, but we are struggling with more than the lack of confidence associated with fishing in the mud. Due to a howling wind everyday and the ongoing pipeline work, I have done very little catching. 

I initially hoped that it was going on in the evenings (we seldom fish late afternoons), but outside of a handful of terns working over small trout on the south end, we found little else.  Yesterday we ran the entire east shoreline, all of the bayous, and the  game reserve and caught only a few small reds and a couple of flounder.  The water clarity was a little better than the lake, but not a whole lot better.

Because it gets more expensive each day to hunt fish, there are few boats on the water. With very few folks excited about wasting gas, there are not many dependable resources to help minimize some of the running. I saw no more than 4 or 5 boats on the lake the past few days and they were huddled in East Pass and Black's.

If I have failed to call you back to re-schedule, I apologize and have not forgotten about you.  I will start filling in some tentative dates tonight to assure you a date, but you don't want to fish on Sabine with me right now.  We are still getting in most of our trips and doing well on Big lake if that is an acceptable option for you.
