Once shrimp makes it to the marsh all the fish will concentrate on reefs and channel bc that's where all the bait holds there's always a 2 week transition from bird fishing to reefs it's starting to happen now... The night boat just started limiting out on reefs past. 5 days ....the 25 or bust theory is dumb Sabine lake is same as big lake and the fish size isn't struggling neither is numbers ive made 7 trips over there this yr and limited out 6 out of 7 the difference is weirs... I think biggest factor is weirs restricting bait flow 2nd would be pressure and 3rd would be the 3 northerners in may that delayed shrimp coming in just my opinion but as far as too many fish in lake I'm not buying that every1 would be catching... I've talked to biologist and they said on there net surveys they haven't seen size decrease and agree that there is a cycle this spring was best big trout yr in a few years...

Agree. 100%. I couldn't have gone that in debt but seems like that's exact truth. This first yr I caught fish where they weren't supposed to be by logs. Like clampy said we used to pull up shut down and lay hamma. Same spot same time same conditions 3 fish here 5 there. I think since bait is restricted trout are patrolling more than staying put and ambushing. There's only been 2-4x this yr we've caught 15-20 in same spot.
