First off, the water temperature is sitting at around 50 degrees, and the lake is 1.32 feet below pool level. There's no tidal report to worry about since Sam Rayburn is a freshwater lake, but you should be aware of the water level fluctuations.
Sunrise today is at about 7:20 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and late afternoon fishing.
Bass are scattered, so you'll need to cast spinnerbaits and crankbaits to locate active schools of fish. Targeting stumps in creek bends is your best bet for a good bite. The water is off-colored in the creeks and pockets, but this can actually work to your advantage when using the right lures.
Crappie and white bass are moving up the creek channels, making them accessible with jigs and minnows. For crappie, focus on deeper water around brush piles and creek channels. Catfish are also active, particularly in 15-26 feet of water, where cut bait and minnows are working well.
For largemouth bass, crankbaits and spinnerbaits are your go-to choices during the daytime. If you're fishing during the early morning or late evening, switch to topwater baits to capitalize on the low light conditions. Plastic worms, jigs, and Carolina rigs are also effective, especially around vegetation edges, deep ledges, and creek channels.
Some hot spots to consider include the lower part of the reservoir where the water is clearer, and game fish tend to hold around vegetation edges, flats, humps, and creek channels. In the upper third of the reservoir, look for timber, brush, laydowns, and creek channels as these areas provide good habitat for fish.
Overall, it's a fair day for fishing at Sam Rayburn, with plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of species. Just remember to drain your boat's water when leaving or approaching the lake to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.
