Sabine Lake Charters is all about fishing the stunning waters of Port Arthur. With Captain Aaron and Sidney Shetley at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, and Speckled Trout inhabit these waters, depending on the season. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your vessel for the day is a 23' Skeeter center console with capacity for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials and the most up to date equipment available. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

SO MUCH FUN!!!
Full Day Trip on October 3, 2026 • 4 adults

This is a huge lake. A person could spend all day and not get one bite. You need someone like Captain Sidney to take you to the hot spots. I went with 3 of my cousins. We are already looking at the calendar to plan our next trip with Captain Sidney.

    Our fishing trip was time well spent. Our family time is special. It was nice to have a Captain that values family time and treats you like you are his family as well. We can’t wait to get back on the water with Sabine Lake Charters!
