Sabine NWR

Planning to go down to Sabine NWR Sunday and try to get after some redfish/trout. I'm relatively familiar with the area from duck hunting it some this past year, but as an Ohio transplant looking to see if anyone has any helpful tips and tricks

Hadn’t fished the area since I was young but make sure the refuge is open right now. I remember the refuge was pretty fresh back in the day, caught a lot of freshwater fish(20 years ago ). The OB members from the area should have some info though. You’ll be right by big lake and that’s prob your best bet for reds and specs.

I wouldn’t go into the west Sabine Marsh looking for trout or reds. Launch at west cove and head to the first cut on the south bank. You will still be in the refuge but have more opportunities fish wise. It’s probably 3/4 mile to that cut from the launch.

Yep.

Appreciate it. Are you talking the one with the old dilapidated dock at the mouth? In the 1 other time I tried to fish west cove I thought that was private so I avoided it

Same cut, area is on refuge and you can access for fishing/crabbing. Would take some leg quarters and string for crab lines while tied up.
Bucket of live shrimp (Spicers) with a bubbler should fool the Cajun slam; reds, flounder & trout.

KemoSabe,
Have you ever heard of anyone running into a trespassing issue using that canal?

Nope, I don’t fish it because don’t want to buy the permit.

Guides are required to purchase a $250 permit to fish the reserve.
