I fish sabine lake over 30 times a year and fish other ports along the Texas Coast to there isnt a trout shortage going on. Texas is dead set on having a trophy program for every fish are animal they have. I lived there for many years I know how they roll. And a few people want to compare habbitat from LA to Texas ok look at the size of Big Lake Compared to Galveston bay complex are the Luguna Madre complex they seem alot bigger to me then Big Lake. Texas doesnt have the habbitat bull!!! They dont have the proper mangement.

You hit the nail on the head right there with the trophy crap, but the Laguna and Galveston compared to Big Lake - yes it is much bigger, but the estuaries and marsh primarily east of the Atchafalaya is a huge fish nursery. Not knocking on TX, but Louisiana just has more fish-producing habitat than TX. Deer, well that can be debated That will be for October! Bass too, but who cares

I guarantee you that Laguna Madre or the Galveston bay complex doesn't have near the estuary we have here. It's probably bigger than our lake here, but our estuary is phenomenal. Our interior marshes make up our lake. It provides extensive habitat for multiple species of baitfish and shrimp. Just about every customer I take out is amazed with the bait in our lake. And 70% of our customers are Texas based. We literally have this 20 miles from north to south and 18 to 20 miles east to west. If you would like to see this bait, I'd be glad to show you.
