While Christmas Day proved to be far soggier than expected, it has been the devastating drought that continues to be the lead story for Sabine Lake anglers. Unmatched salinity levels in both the Neches and Sabine Rivers have afforded die hard trout fishermen the opportunity to catch quality trout, redfish, and flounder when the open lake was under siege from a howling wind. In reviewing previous years, there is always a particular color or two, new lure or even a new technique that improves the catching aspect of fishing....

OUT WITH THE OLD - WELCOME THE NEW Here I sit at mid-morning Tuesday, facing a 5 p.m. deadline and no idea what I’ll write about. I had planned to make some predictions for the New Year but this time squeeze I’ve gotten myself in doesn’t allow for research and compiling.
