WHITE BASS SEASON 2009
It is time to book your white bass trip for 2010 if you have not already done so. You will need roadrunners red head with chartruse body or red head with white body. 1/4 oz and 1/8 oz. 8 to 12 lbs test line unless you want to bring lots of roadrunners. 6lb test is great but you will break off easily.

$350 for guided trip for two people with package which includes lodging and breakfast. $300 just for fishing trip. Add $75 for each extra person. $150 deposit required (non refundable unless I cancel trip due to weather etc.).
Look forward to fishing with you next spring. I now have 3 boats running. We are already half booked for next season. Thanks to everyone that helps to make our business a success. I have moved many of the white bass pictures for 2009 to the fishing page. It makes the home page load up much faster. Thanks.

J. J. Caceria Dove Hunting
This is one afternoon hunt.
We will be organizing several trips in the near future. We can accompany your group or you can go on your own. We can help you with your flight, paper work, customs, immigration, security, flight connections, reservations for your hunt, etc. We don't charge you for our services. Check out JJ Caceria website www.jjcaceria.com.ar or email him at jjcaceria@jjcaceria.com.ar . The prices for the hunts are there. You pay the same whether you use our services or not. We will be going back to hunt ducks in August 2008 and dove in September 2008 if you would like to join our group just let us know. We arrived late on our first day due to airline delays, we went straight to the fields where we were greeted by our bird boys and two other people there to take care of us. After a great shoot we were taken to the lodge where we had excellent accommodations. Our bedrooms were furnished with two 3/4 beds and a bathroom with shower. The lodge is equipped with an open bar, or you can have cola, water, etc. A full time chef takes care of your meals. You are served on tables with fine china, crystal, and silver. Appetizers are provided while your meal is being prepared. The hunting is superb. You will kill more birds in a day than you will kill in your lifetime in the US. There are no limits. The guns are excellent Beretta 391 20 gauge. The ammunition is very good, I only had one misfire in 4 days. WE are going back, come go with us.

Sabine White Bass fishing show with Alan Warren aired recently. Check out his website at www.ChevySportsman.com
If you are fishing with Jane, bring your rod & reel spooled with 8 to 10 lb test line. Road runners in chartreuse, chartreuse with red head, and white with red head. Any configuration works, crappie thunder, curly tail, maribou, bubble belly, etc. I use 1/4 oz unless I am fishing really light tackle, then I use 1/8 oz. Bring rain gear just in case also waterproof footwear. When cold is predicted, dress warmly. Bring layers it may be 30 in the morning and 70 by lunch. Most of the time we will take a boat ride a few miles. Gets pretty cold on the water.

Our GOAL
River Ridge wants to provide you with a place that you will be proud to bring your family and friends. The best fishing in East Texas. Many years ago rivers got a bad rap because of the dumping of waste by big companies. Times have changed and we are proud to be located on the Sabine River where the water runs clean and the fish taste great. We hope you will check us out and maybe enjoy some of our paradise. Looking forward to seeing you soon. We are located about 45 minutes from the casions in Shreveport, La and Bossier City, La. After you catch your fish you might want to try your luck and eat a nice meal.
SABINE RIVER is the upper part of Toledo Bend Reservoir in East Texas. It is located 12 miles south of Carthage, Texas on Hwy 699 which is about 40 miles south of Longview, Texas and 60 miles west of Shreveport, La. Several species of bass , crappie, channel, blue and flathead catfish are all in abundance. Sabine River is ideal for year round fishing. River Ridge has been featured on "The Texas Angler" outdoor show for 3 years. The 6 lb line class world record white bass was caught by Keith Warren ("The Texas Angler") here in 1996. Also Ed Snyder, Editor of the Lakecaster Magazine caught the 2 lb line class world record white bass here. It is common to catch white bass that weigh over 3 lbs. Some weigh 4 lbs and better. The Sabine River State record white crappie was caught here February 26,2000.
Check out our upcoming events, conditions of river, what fish are biting, and pictures of the big catch. Also check out our camping facilities.
Catfish have been really biting good on trotlines and throw lines. The river looks real good. We keep the sand cleaned off our ramp as the water recedes after being up for a few days. When the water is half banks we recommend using any kind of boat, but if it is at low level then we recommend using a jonboat.
. You need to start making reservations now for sandbass season. We have rv hook-ups, cabins, and tenting area.
