No big fish for us today.

The water was a little dirtier on Big lake today than it was yesterday.  There was no problem with the water temperature as it was right around 60 degrees everywhere we fished.  The area we fished yesterday was really beat up today and the wind was blowing right in our face. We never turned over the first big trout all day long.  We caught most of our trout in the afternoon for some reason.  Prior to that, it was two small trout and a bunch of rat reds.

Once again, the tide was ripping out all day long like someone pulled the plug.  Not surprisingly, much of West Cove was badly off-colored today, but that area usually clears up quickly.  For that matter, the water in the northeast corner was still pretty clear since it was protected from the wind.

We caught our trout and redfish on a Mirrolure jerkbait and Sea Shads in red shad and Texas Roach.  We did not see any gulls working over fish today which was a little unusual even with the stiff north wind.  All of our fish came out of four feet of water or less.

I talked with two very good Sabine Lake fishermen at the grocery store tonight and they were disgusted as they had been catching trout even when it was pretty darn muddy.  They intended to wade, but saw no reason to even get out of their boat.  They drifted two flats on the La. shoreline and caught one small rat red in four hours.  If it will clear up just a little bit we can catch fish, but it is soooo dirty right now!
