Sam Rayburn 2024
fishfordollars reply :
Spent three days on the lake this weekend. Lake is down 5 1/2 feet. We caught some fish, size was up to five pounds. Found the fish out in the center of the bays relating to the creek channels and off the main lake points.
***With the lake level dropping be very careful. Lots of things (Stumps, humps, ridges) beginning to show that normally do not come into play.***
Thirty two thursday up to 4 1/2.
Twenty two friday up to 4 1/4.
Thursday the fish were out on the creeks and points in the deeper water and out off the clean main lake points. Most were caught on plastics (Senkos, Baby Brushhogs, and 10" worms). Best colors were watermellon/red, pumpkin, and watermellon/candy.
Best bites Friday were in the 2-5' water on a buzzbait and frog fishing the pads and grass.
Had the great fortune to have an eleven year old catch his first fish ever out of the boat. It was not large (2lbs+), but was huge in his eyes. The father took some pictures and promised to forward them to me when he got home. i will post them up when I get them.
Will give a more detailed report when I get time.

We probley put down in augistine landing(spell ?)it's closer from my camp by penndelton brige,t.b..I've had some luck near there on top water,buck bay,those islands by buck bay,and rayburn park.willing to run anywhere if winds ant bad.Bringing a buddy that never been there.
I would like to make a trip out of jackson hill if we get time but only going for 1 day.
fishfordollars reply :
Forget Jackson hill. you need to stay downj on the big water. If you do put in there watch yourself when you round the big point going south. Very shallow and you will be skimming mud if you are not sure where you are.
San Augustine park...fish the outer points and islands out across the open water on the west side of the run going south.. buck bay, needmore point and down in that area is where i would fish. I'll pm some cordinates if you like, just remember there is likely to be very shallow water between the ramp and the cordinates. Lake is 8 1/2' low today. If it was me i would put in over around Caney Creek Ramp and run to coleman, veach, and five fingers, fishing the main lake points and checking the backs of the creeks. lots of shad working the mid areas of the creeks. top water has been real well.
bullet20 reply :
thanks ill probably launch at augustine and fish that area and maybe run and fish 5 finger and maybe father north.
I fish this area about a month ago and been carful running.I saw some nice grass back of lil norris,but no luck.

Fished Rayburn Friday. Shad and the bass are loaded in the backs of the creeks i fished. White buzzbait, shad crankbaits, trick worm, lipless crankbaits(Rayburn Red) all caught fish. Moved out to the outer points midday and they were set up on them to. Just look for the shad on your units, the fish are closeby and feeding well. Lake is still way down(8+) so be careful.
Temps were right at freezing early so dress warm. It rained and sleeted for a few minutes around 8:30 but lasted only 15 minutes. The bite was on.

that's jack ,ill give it another try this fri..

Fished Rayburn a week or so ago, found a pattern right at the Walter Umphrey boat launch. Lipless in a off white or ghost color. Then on to Farmers cove. Same pattern same color. XR50 in ghost being the most productive. Cast literally on the bank and crank it digging up the bottom. Tiger creek was the same way, but more on 5" hollow swimbaits there. Just a little info for ya'll.

According to my notes Sam Rayburn is 7.49' lower than it was a year ago today. The crankbait bite was on the last trip up.
