Rayburn Fishing Report - Fall Frenzy for Largemouth, Crappie, and Catfish on Lake Sam Rayburn, Texas
Howdy y’all, Artificial Lure here with your November 16th fishing report for Lake Sam Rayburn, Texas!
We’re heading out to a classic East Texas fall morning—cool, crisp, and a light haze hugging the water early on. The mercury’s been starting near 52 and warming up to the upper 60s by late afternoon, with a gentle north breeze most of the day. The skies are mostly clear, so bring your shades and a thermos of coffee for that sunrise bite.
Sunrise was at 6:45 AM and we’ll see the sunset slip behind the pines at 5:22 PM tonight. That gives you over eleven and a half hours to chase your limit. The solunar tables are pointing to the best fish activity right around 7:50 to 8:50 this morning and 9:05 to 10:05 tonight, with the moon about 10% into its waxing crescent—so don’t overlook an evening bite if you’re able to stay on the water.
Now for what you care about—how’s the fishing? Rayburn’s been living up to its name as one of the best bass lakes in the country, and according to local guides and the Rayburn Roundup report, the fall pattern’s in full swing. Early risers have been killing it with topwater as the sun comes up, working walking baits and poppers over grass flats and points—expect some heart-stopping explosions from decent-sized largemouths.
Once that sun’s up, switch to reaction baits like chatterbaits and lipless cranks, especially around hydrilla beds and creek drains. Soft plastics—Texas rigs and Carolina rigs—are getting munched, especially in the deeper edge grass and the timber in 10 to 18 feet. Don’t forget to try out the spybait technique if the lake slicks off: Aaron Martens and others have been swearing by a Duo Realis Spinbait on a slow, steady retrieve. Rayburn’s clear water in some pockets makes this bite deadly in late fall.
Recent catches have been healthy, with several five-fish bags in the 20- to 25-pound range in club tournaments last weekend, and one local hammer even landed a 9-pound kicker on a big jig out of the Black Forest. Crappie are getting more active on brush piles in 16-24 feet—minnows and small jigs are working. Catfish are still coming off river channel bends on cut bait.
As for best baits right now, your hot picks are:
- White and shad-patterned walking topwaters just after dawn.
- Red or craw-colored lipless crankbaits in the grass.
- Green pumpkin or watermelon soft plastics for pitching timber or working the edge of grass lines.
- Spybaits in shad colors when it’s calm and clear—especially late morning to midday.
- Traditional jigs for those big-mama largemouths on stumps and brush.
Top hot spots this week are the Needmore Point flats at sunrise and the Five Fingers Creek area as the sun gets higher—both are holding big schools of bait and active bass.
That’s the scoop for this beautiful East Texas Sunday—lots of bites to be had if you keep moving and match your presentation to the conditions. Don’t forget to pack some patience, a few extra layers, and always keep safety first.
