Sabine River 7/23
 

Made a Trip to Sabine river Last saturday. We managed to catch around 40 bass. Most were in 11-13" range. We did have a 5 fish stringer of about 11.5lbs. Most of our better fish were found on laydowns that were in deeper water. We were using Tx rigged V & M JBugs with 1/2oz Tungsten weights. All fish were released to be caught on another day!!!!! :cheers:

Nice! Sabine seems to be a little more productive than the calc!

I dunno about that... 17.64lbs won Tourney saturday

Awesome !

I just saw that!!! I fished that mornin for a lil bit but the traffic was horrible! Those guys musta ran way north for those monster's!

Yeah they run way up by marsh bayou area

Very nice, man.
Great report. It's cool that you released 'em to fight another day. Thanks.

Where is Marsh Bayou? West or east fork?

way up north of Hecker... where all the sand bars start...

Those JBugs look huge compared to what I've been throwing.
Your fish look huge compared to what I've been catching.
Coincidence? I'll bet not. :)

T-Boo Go to Cajun Tackle and grab a pack of JBugs... they arent very big.... thats what kept me from trying them forever until I finally got some in my hands... They are smaller than a baby brush hog...

BassYakR you use a straight shank hook for texas rigging? I was listening or watching somebody the other day talk about using straight shank on their texas rig vs an offset hook.

Straight shank flipping hook w/ snell not is the way to go. For FLIPPING. I don't trust my snell tying abilities yet. Good job Nate. Do those J-Bugs smell like soured milk to you too??

Yeah buddy... I prefer it bc when you use one with a snell knot and u pull on the line and the eye of the hook hits the pegged weight it drives the point of the hook up into the fishes mouth... I seem to have better hookups this way. Now when im using smaller baits like a speed craw i dont use them bc they dont stay on the keepers very well.

Dude they STINK! but Honestly the fish loved em... Im sold on em

I've been using the Owner Twistlok hooks and my hook-up ratio is much better. Plus they keep the bait from getting tore up as often. Many more fish per bait.

I like to use those on my swimbaits
