How's the saltwater fishing been?

[JWB]

where are the fish biting and what are they hitting on?

Pretty slow.  You can catch a few on live bait out in the pass and jetties.   Have heard reports of a few on the deeper reef, but I haven't tried it in a while.

I heard about good specs in Keith Lake but I don't know firsthand

This spring was one of the best in a long time in Sabine Lake. I had friends that were limiting on the LA shoreline fairly quickly. Then the rains hit............

The three big floods back to back to back slammed the lake. It took a while for the water to flood the lake but it finally pushed most of the saltwater out. That pushed the specks toward the jetties and maybe offshore. If you could find them there, you could do fairly well but it did not appear to be consistent. I went two weeks ago to the jetties and then the first rigs. We got nothing at the jetties and about 27 between 3 different rigs. I have had worse days. Back the very next day and we got 60 at the near rig alone. 

I fish a dock at night in the ship channel and by this time of the year we have been getting good stringers for a few years. I guess due to the freshwater, we have not even seen a fish under the lights until about three weeks ago. Now they are starting to show up. Not great but they are there finally. I am guessing that they are heading back up into the big lake now also. 

It just looks like those really historical floods slowed the fishing and pushed many or most of the fish out. It also appears that it is finally coming back to normal.

Yep, another week of rain won't help the waters.
