You folks in East Texas, I know you love Lake of The Pines, Caddo, The Sabine and Sam Rayburn and so do I. Cane pole fishin for brim and catfish, flopinâem in some corn meal fryâem up. Man thatâs livin. However, pullin in 8 to 10 lb Red Snapper, it almost sounds like a really fishy story.. You get your boat close to an old rig, drop your bait in the water youâll be pullinâem in as fast as you can rebait that hook. Itâll last 45 minutes or so and you move to another place. It starts all over again. Pompano, sand trout ( not one of my favorites ) flounder and kayaking around in The Laguna Madre for Redfish. The Texas Trifecta. For me itâs Snapper, Redfish and the salt water ribeye flounder I throw the trout back. Yes fishin is that good.
