Offshore Sabine, TX
I am relocating to TX from the East coast (with my boat) and looking for some info. on the bluewater fishing south of Sabine Pass/Port Arthur area. How far do you have to go for mahi, blackfin/yellowfin tuna and wahoo? What species can you catch closer to shore (20-40 miles)?
Thanks in advance.

Plenty of time here in Kuwait to surf the web until I get back to Galveston.
So I have learned that YFT have been sited by divers @ Stetson bank. Report was July of 99
Kev.
"Over night, we moved approximately 40 miles towards shore to our next site, Stetson Bank."
Dive 5: 76 feet, 34 minutes
This was a much better site. The bottom depth ranged from 60 to 66 feet. There is a wall drop off that plunges to 400 feet. Much different bottom compistion. Large rocky upcroppings hide a larger number of crustaceans (shrip, crab and lobsters). Also, much larger number of big fish (5-6 barracuda, jacks, yellow fin tuna, and a few grouper). A couple of dive pairs encountered a good size tuna.
