Lake Sam Rayburn

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 8)

GOOD. Water stained; 74 degrees; 0.08 feet below pool. The lake is on the rise due to runoff. The water is off colored midlake. Bass are on points and deeper water with Carolina or Texas rigs. The frog bite is picking up bass in shallow lily pads and brush. The spawn is finally finishing up with a few still on beds. Crappie are primarily on brush with a few shallow spawners in cypress trees. Catfish are good in deeper water channels with cut bait, minnows and worms. Some catches of big blue catfish. White bass are schooling on points biting minnows, jigging spoons, and small crankbaits. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service. Lake is full pool with the water rising on average 1 foot every two days. There has been a large wave of fish, pushing shallow following bait. Target bass on grass, bushes and standing timber using topwater frogs, small swimbaits, and swim jigs. Offshore bite is still productive in 15-22 feet of water, but the fish are scattered at the moment due to changing water levels. Report by Captain Hank Harrison, Double H Precision Fishing.
