あらすじ・解説
Lake Sam Rayburn is buzzing with spring activity this April 4th, 2025. Here's today's fishing report.
The water temperature has warmed up to 72 degrees, with the pockets reaching the high 70s. The lake level is slightly above normal pool at +0.46 feet, and the water is stained. Sunrise was at 7:02 AM, and sunset will occur at 7:38 PM, giving anglers plenty of daylight to reel in their catches. The weather today features rain showers with a high of 73°F, and light winds are expected, creating favorable fishing conditions.
**Fish Activity and Recent Catches:**
Largemouth bass are on their beds in shallow pockets, showing strong spawning activity. They are biting well when flipping into brush and timber, particularly with rattle traps and soft plastics. Crappie have moved shallow as well, staging on beds around submerged vegetation and brush piles. Anglers are having success using jigs and minnows. Catfish are active in 6-15 feet of water near creek bends and other structures, particularly responding to cut bait. White bass, while fewer in number, are roaming near points and brush piles, with some bites reported on small crankbaits and spinnerbaits.
Local angler reports indicate healthy hauls over the past week, with largemouth bass weighing up to 6 pounds and consistent crappie catches. Though most white bass encountered are smaller, occasional larger specimens are being landed.
**Best Lures and Baits:**
For largemouth bass, rattle traps, Carolina rigs, and spinnerbaits are proving effective. Crappie fishers are doing best with chartreuse or white jigs and live minnows. Catfish are responding well to cut bait and prepared stink baits, while those targeting white bass are finding success with jigging spoons and small swimbaits.
**Hotspots:**
Two standout areas to focus on today are the Ayish Bayou and the creek channels near Attoyac Point. Ayish Bayou is prime for bass and crappie, particularly near submerged brush, while Attoyac Point offers opportunities for catfish and white bass along channel edges and structure.
Whether you're flipping for bass in shallow timber, jigging for crappie in the creeks, or baiting catfish in deeper channels, the fish are actively feeding. Grab your gear and take advantage of the warming water and active bites—Lake Sam Rayburn is sure to deliver a productive day on the water! Safe fishing, and tight lines!
