Fishing Sabine Pass

Sabine Pass to Freeport: Galveston Bay, the Galveston jetties and long Gulf piers. Big, productive bay systems with lots of shore access.

What's biting now (Fall): Bull redfish run through the passes and jetties, and flounder migrate to the Gulf. Speckled trout feed hard on the bays.

Commonly caught in this area: Speckled trout, redfish, flounder, black drum, sheepshead and Spanish mackerel.

Also caught here: croaker, hardhead catfish, jack crevalle, tripletail, blacktip shark.

Inlets funnel bait in and out with every tide, and predators wait at the edges. Fish the last part of the incoming and first part of the outgoing tide, and watch the current - inlets can be dangerous for small boats.

Best baits here6 fish

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
