Fresh Sam Rayburn Fishing Reports

The fishing on Sam Rayburn has been really good the past couple weeks. If you catch it on the right day it can be hard to believe. Certain days when there is a new push of fish up shallow in the grass you can catch some 7-9 pound fish on traps, alabama rigs and chatterbaits. Lots of 4-6 pound range fish as well being caught with good numbers. Hopefully all the new water coming in doesnt affect anything but I would think that they would just continue staging until its time for them to pull up and spawn which will be fairly soon for some if conditions allow.

Top water frogs are Hot !! Off the chart action, bug fish ! Yes its hit out there, but were starting at 6 am sharp, doing a 6 hour trip till 12, down priced to 300, getting off the lake at 12, beating the heat an boating the big ones, TX rigs are putting nice numbers in the boat after the early top water bit dies, 10 to 15 in a couple hours reg numbers, fish also good deep on point breaks at 15 to 20, come an enjoy the Big Sam !!
