Coastal Fishing Forecast: Trout Blitz, Reds Biting, & Sabine Lake Hotspots

Howdy anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast fishing report for this beautiful Wednesday morning, June 4th, 2025. We're looking at warm waters across the Gulf Coast with temperatures holding steady around 80 degrees. Sunrise was about 6:20 AM, and you'll have until about 8:18 PM before sunset, giving you plenty of daylight hours on the water. Tide-wise, we had a low tide early this morning around 1:30 AM, followed by a high at 3:14 AM. You're looking at another low tide coming up around 9:45 AM and then a high tide at 5:09 PM, perfect for some afternoon fishing. The fishing action has been heating up with June's arrival! Trout fishing is absolutely on fire right now, especially in Redfish Bay where anglers are reporting great success using live shrimp and soft plastics along flats and channel edges. Some folks are even bringing in limits of trout using croaker in about 4 feet of water. Redfish have been biting well in knee to thigh-deep water. Your best bet is using cut mullet, shad, or live shrimp in sand pockets and along mangroves. The back lakes are holding good numbers of reds, though they've been a bit slow to bite with these high winds and tides we've been having. Black drum are hitting great on live or dead shrimp and fish bites, though some guides report they seem to be playing hide-and-seek in certain areas. For those heading to Sabine Lake, note it's running fresh and muddy. Focus your efforts in the Intracoastal Canal and Texaco Island basin in deeper water (8-40 feet) with live shrimp on a Carolina rig. Anglers are catching nice trout in about 30 feet of water there. The redfish are good on points and drops with live shrimp under a popping cork. Hot spots this week include the jetties at Sabine Channel early mornings before 8 AM for trout, and the rock piles there for limits of drum and some sheepshead. Flounder catches have been very nice in Sabine Channel using a Carolina rig on the bottom while targeting areas with sand and shell flats. San Antonio Bay is running fair with high winds and tides. The good news is June typically brings those light, mild northers that calm the surf. When the wind allows, there should be a good bite with live croaker and shrimp on the reefs. Don't forget your rain gear as we're dodging some thunderstorms this week, but between the weather windows, the fishing has been mighty fine. Thanks for tuning in to your Gulf Coast fishing report.
