Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your April 4, 2025, fishing report for Lake Sam Rayburn, the pride of East Texas. Conditions are shaping up nicely for a productive day on the water.
Today’s weather is mild with partly cloudy skies, a high of 77°F, and light winds, providing prime fishing conditions. Sunrise this morning was at 6:46 AM, and sunset will be at 7:44 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to reel in your catches. Water temperature is hovering in the high 60s to low 70s, with slightly stained clarity and the lake sitting just above normal pool at 0.16 feet.
Largemouth bass fishing is solid as the fish remain on spawning beds in shallow pockets and creek channels. Success has been reported flipping rattle traps into brush and trees, while watermelon red Senkos and chartreuse-white spinnerbaits are also working well. Anglers have been hooking into bass weighing anywhere from 3 to 6 pounds, with the occasional big one surpassing 8 pounds. Hot spots for bass include Needmore Point and Harvey Creek.
Crappie action is excellent as fish are moving into shallow waters between 6 and 12 feet to spawn. You’ll find them stacked around brush piles and creek pockets. Jigs in blue/white or chartreuse, as well as live minnows, have been consistently productive. The morning and evening bites are particularly strong, with solid reports coming from the Angelina River arm and Coleman Creek.
Catfish are biting well in 6 to 15 feet of water, especially around creek bends and submerged structures. Cut bait and stink bait remain the favored options. For those chasing white bass, they are making their way back from spawning runs and can be found roaming points and brush. Small crankbaits, tail spinners, and white curly-tail grubs are highly effective lures.
If you’re gearing up, make sure to include Carolina rigs, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits in your tackle box. For crappie, stick to live minnows and chartreuse jigs. When heading out, prioritize hot spots like the Twin Dikes area and Caney Creek timber—both have been delivering solid results for multiple species.
It’s a great day to fish Lake Sam Rayburn, so get out there, enjoy the beauty of Big Sam, and tight lines!
