Sabine lake 11-24-16
I took my kayak and my Louisiana fishing license to Lake Sabine . I have had good flounder fishing trips there in the past but it was not to be so last Friday . I put in about 8 am at the end of an out going tide. The rest of the day didn't have tidal movement to speak of and the water seemed dead . You know what I mean . You've been on the water before sunup and as the orb breaches the horizon you feel your surroundings come alive with water surface swirls and movement . Well , that never happened .I scratched out 2 small flounders and came in around 4 pm . I guess I looked pathetic as I dragged my 2 dink flounder to the truck because a guy came up to me and asked if I wanted a fish. Having no pride , I readily affirmed that I did . He and 3 others had fished the bayou mouths and he had landed a red on a gold spoon . I liked the old school gold spoon approach . Well , I guess I caught one fish more than they. I heard spotty reports at the ramp but one guy got a 10 fish limit at the jetties . Still , it was a beautiful day to fish .

Water temp is back up to 67>68 degrees.
Tuesday was the good day from talking to others.Comment

I think the poor tides as well as water temperature had some affect .Originally posted by Root Canal View PostGEORGE A. BRANARD, COLOR SERGEANT, CO. L, 1 ST TEXAS INFANTRY, HOOD'S TEXAS BRIGADE, C.S.A. : S.C.V.Comment

Haven't been over there since way before my surgery in 2015. I have moved my boat from Bayou Vista for the winter and plan on making a few trips later this year.Originally posted by plugger View Post

Wish I knew the answer to that question. My guess would be no because of theOriginally posted by plugger View Post
late start and only one Major water temperature drop in November.
Water temp was 72 yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon at Eagle Point.
It's 69 degrees right now. I know if I was off Thursday or Friday I would
be fishing at sunrise before the tide started going out.
You might get some hints from 610 radio in the mornng.Comment
