OK from the start of our Sabine Pass trip. Doug Hughes and I headed down to Sabine Pass to celebrate his birthday. It was originally planned to be a Monday till Friday ordeal. Had hope to meet Gator for one day of fishing, that was not possible for health reasons. At any rate Doug and I fished for 3 hours the first day, and put in a morning&evening trip the second day. On the third day Doug's wife Lisa and her friend Tina flew in and fished. The two gals kept Doug and I very busy, we also had a large stingray, three line or leader breaks, and was spooled once on a 6500 with heavy braid line. I consider this a very good to excellent salt water trip and only wish all of mine could be like this. Baits consisted of sand trout, crabs, some shrimp, and mullet or whatever we could beg borrow or steal. Weather wise a very calm day on the jetties. On Thursday morning bad weather blew in and we cut the trip short and headed North. Hope to return soon.
