Good morning, folks! Artificial Lure here with your April 4th, 2025, fishing report for beautiful Lake Sam Rayburn, Texas. Let’s dive right into the details you need for a great day of fishing.
The weather today is shaping up to be ideal for anglers, with partly cloudy skies, a high of 77°F, and a light breeze to keep things comfortable. Sunrise was at 6:45 AM, and sunset will happen at 7:43 PM, giving you ample daylight to reel in some trophies. Water temperatures are in the high 60s to low 70s, and conditions are slightly stained with the lake sitting just above pool level at 0.16 feet.
It’s a hot time for bass, as largemouths are on beds in some pockets preparing to spawn. You’ll find them in shallow flats and brushy areas. Best baits this week include watermelon red flake Senkos, rattle traps, and chartreuse-and-white spinnerbaits. Flip around trees and bushes in 8-10 feet of water, and don’t forget to work creek channels and points. Recent catches included some impressive largemouths weighing 3-6 pounds, with a few anglers landing specimens over 8 pounds. For the best bass action, head to Needmore Point and Harvey Creek.
Crappie fishing is excellent, with these fish moving shallow to spawn. Look for them in 6-12 feet of water around brush piles and shallow creek pockets. Blue/white and chartreuse jigs have been the go-to, along with live minnows. Key spots to try are the Angelina River arm and Coleman Creek. The bite has been strongest early in the morning and again in the evening hours.
Catfish are also biting well, especially in 6-15 feet of water near creek bends and structures. Cut bait or stink bait is working wonders for both eater-size cats and the occasional trophy fish. White bass are making their way back from spawning runs and can be targeted near points and brush using small crankbaits, tail spinners, or white curly-tail grubs.
For those looking to maximize their day, consider hot spots like the Twin Dikes area and the timber near Caney Creek. These locations have been consistently producing high-quality fish across multiple species.
When it comes to lures, don’t leave home without Carolina rigs, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits for bass. For crappie, live minnows and chartreuse jigs are a must. If you’re targeting catfish, load up on cut bait or stink bait to stay busy.
So, grab your gear, head to Sam Rayburn, and enjoy what’s shaping up to be a fantastic day on the water. Tight lines, y’all!
