  • Summary

  • As of December 27, 2024, Lake Sam Rayburn is presenting some promising fishing conditions despite the cooler weather. The lake is currently at 91.5% full, with the water level sitting 2.29 feet below the conservation pool elevation[2].

    The water temperature is around 58 degrees, and it's slightly stained, which is typical for this time of year[1]. Sunrise today is at about 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 5:15 PM.

    Bass fishing has been fair, with bass actively chasing shad in the shallows and off points. When you can find grass on the south end of the lake, there's usually a bass waiting to be caught on crankbaits. Topwater baits and spinnerbaits can also be effective in these areas[1][5].

    Crappie and white bass are moving into the river channel, and using jigs or minnows can yield good results. Catfish are biting well in 15-26 feet of water, particularly on cut bait and minnows. Look for them in the river bends and deeper sections of the lake[1].

    For hot spots, focus on the south end of the lake where you can find grass and shallow water. The creek channel swings and high spots along the shoreline brush and hay grass are also productive areas. Additionally, the river channel and bends are good spots for crappie and catfish[1][5].

    Given the cooler weather, the fish may be a bit sluggish initially, but as they adjust, they should start feeding more actively. So, be patient and persistent, and you should have a good day on the water. Remember to drain your boat and onboard receptacles to prevent the spread of zebra mussels when leaving or approaching the lake[1].
