There's a lot you can do in Texas, but fishing is definitely in the top 3, and no one knows it better than Captain Chris Phillips of Sabine Outdoors! If you're on the lookout for a productive day of fishing on Sabine Lake and surrounding waters, then Capt. Chris is the guide for you.

With almost 4 decades of fishing experience under his belt, you can bet that Chris knows a lot about all the best fish hideouts. Whether you're after healthy-sized Cobia, an impressive number of Speckled Trout, or trophy Redfish, your guide will know exactly where to take you. Then it's your time to come face to gills with your prey and reel it in.

Your fishing platform is 25' Contender with a 300 HP Yamaha engine and more than enough room to sit up to 6 anglers. You'll find quality fishing gear on board, and reliable navigational electronics will show you where to cast your line. The boat is well-suited for lake trips, as well as inshore and nearshore fishing.

Whatever you catch, Capt. Chris will clean and fillet it, so that you can enjoy it as soon as you come back from your exciting day on the water. It's up to you to buy a valid fishing license before you meet up with the captain, and prepare some food and drinks, you'll get snacky from all that reeling.

Kids will have a great time fishing with you and it's best if they're 4 and older, so that they can fully enjoy themselves. After that, all you have to do is have fun with Sabine Outdoors and catch some great fish!

    Great Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 16, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    I have fished with Captain Phillips several times now and he never disappoints. His tackle and boat are squared away and he is great with adults and kids alike. Captain Phillips is very knowledgeable about the area and works hard to put his clients on fish. This trip resulted in reds, sheepshead, and black drum. If you are from the golden triangle or happen to be in the area, I strongly recommend booking a trip with Captain Phillips!

    Lots of fish

    Half Day Trip (PM) on July 11, 2026 • 3 adults

    My wife, my son, and I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Chris at Sabine Outdoors on July 11th for a 5-hour afternoon trip that started at 2:30 PM. The bite started off pretty slow, but Captain Chris never gave up. He kept moving us to different locations until he found the fish—and when he did, the action was incredible. We limited out on speckled trout in no time and also landed several beautiful redfish. Captain Chris was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and professional. His experience on the water really showed, and he knew exactly where to find the fish. At the end of the trip, he cleaned all of our catch and even provided Ziploc bags so everything was ready to take home. If you're looking for an experienced captain who works hard to put you on fish and makes sure you have a great experience, I highly recommend booking your next trip with Captain Chris at Sabine Outdoors. He's one of the nicest and hardest-working captains I've ever had the pleasure of fishing with. We will definitely be back! James Johnson

    We had an amazing charter fishing trip with Captain Chris! He was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area.

    Great Fishing Trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on September 25, 2025 • 5 adults

    Four of my friends and I had the privilege of fishing with Captain Chris Phillips today and he did not disappoint. This was my second trip with Captain Phillips and he has been fantastic on both trips. He is knowledgeable about the area, polite, professional, equipment is squared away, and he is very accommodating to the various needs of his clients. Captain Phillips is one of the hardest working guides I have ever fished with and he puts you on fish. Today, we caught redfish, trout, and sheepshead as the primary species and came away with plenty of fish for everyone to take home. If you are looking for a guided fishing trip in the Port Arthur / Sabine Pass area then Captain Phillips should be your guide. I highly recommend that you give him a chance to give you a great inshore fishing experience. I will be booking future trips with Captain Phillips and cannot speak highly enough about his conduct as a guide and his ability to give his clients a great fishing experience! Josh

With both ample fishing and guiding experience, Captain Chris Phillips knows a thing or two about fishing in the Texas waters. He's been a passionate angler for over 40 years and he's been running trips for over 22 years. He loves being out there, showing his customers how to catch the biggest fish and nothing makes him happier than teaching little ones how to hook their first catch.
