U can catch reds and flounder at all of them. "Blue Crab" and "North Line" especially. Im not sure if Hog Island still closed.

I drove by there Sunday morning and saw about 5 or 6 people fishing. Gates on both sides were open.

I hope the people [fishermen / castnetters] keep it clean.

It opened last summer (?) and was closed back down because the people left such a big mess on the piers.

Great report. Were you fishing from the docks or from a boat?

[redroaster]

Can you still head west from the ship canal and go to the "no fishing" sign and cast towards the weir and smoke em??

I was there today, and the game wardens came and ran everybody off!

Said it was closed from October to March. Just wanted to let everyone know. Damn shame too--been catching some fish there.

I got this from the wildife and fisheries website on sabine refuge:

Hog island gully is closed from the ship canal to the weir. Ldwf agents advised me this weekend. Closed till march 15th. Sad thing is we were raping the reds-every cast. Ldwf guys were nice, just asked us to leave , come back 3-15-11.
