Great day in the water.
6-8 Hour Trip – Sam Rayburn on May 25, 2024 • 2 adults

First let me say that we didn't go on Rayburn. A few days before we went on our trip the fish just shut off, so Ross our captain called me and asked if we would rather try a smaller lake in the area. We had a great trip and caught some really nice wish all on frogs which we love to do. Ross could have left things as they were, brought us out on Rayburn and hope we get into some fish but he wanted to make sure that we had a good time so he offered some alternatives. I appreciate the fact that he cared enough to want us to catch some fish and didn't mind going out of his way to do so. I'll definitely be using Ross Jewell again.

Fun on Rayburn
Dusk Till Dawn on March 17, 2025 • 2 adults

Had a good day. We caught a decent amount of bass throughout day but bite was challenging. A bunch in the 1-3lb range. Credit to Ross he worked lots of sites trying to put us on fish. He was a really solid guy and very knowledgable. He was disappointed we couldn’t have had a better day fishing wise but we were happy. He out in a LOT of effort. That’s just fishing sometimes

Thanks for the kind review. There’s nothing that bothers me more than someone traveling like yall did and the day not being as good as we’d hoped for. It is fishing but nevertheless some days it’s like that. I think you guys were about a week away from the lake really popping off. I hope to have a chance to take yall again and enjoyed y’all’s company. Take care. Thanks again.

Fishing with Ross
4 Hour Trip – Sam Rayburn (AM) on July 2, 2023 • 2 adults

Ross was great with my 13-year-old son Jake; he was very patient and helpful. We were thrilled to catch 11 fish in around 3 hours. Overall a great experience with Ross. He managed Jake's expectations and then over-achieved. Ross's expert knowledge of Lake Sam Rayburn and state-of-the-art equipment led to a successful day under challenging weather conditions. We are planning to return during the high season in Jan. - March. Thanks, Ross!

After growing up in West Kentucky on Barkley and Kentucky Lake where I began fishing, I moved to Texas in 2006. Luckily living near Lake Amistad and O.H. Ivie for over 13 years, in 2022, after fishing the Texas Shootout on Sam Rayburn, the decision was made to move. I live on the south end in Brookeland, TX. It has been a great decision for me and has allowed me to be on the water nearly every day between Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend.

  • A sleek fishing boat navigating through calm waters, surrounded by lush greenery, ideal for a day of angling.
    The lake is still sitting about 9.5 ft low and around 58–60degree water temps depending on the area. The majority of fish in my mind are offshore due to the lack of grass and cover up shallow with the lower than normal water. There is a pile of fish on bait roaming around but it has been a bit more difficult for me to find a quality bite with the fish on bait balls. They will bite about anything from a jerk bait, minnow or Alabama-rig just depending on how they are setup in the water column at the time of your cast. You can also go idle creek swings and points and find quite a few groups of fish doing so if you can target the right kinds of areas that have a bunch of bait. If there's nothing going on in the area and you don't see bait around there's probably a good chance there aren't many fish around right now. As for these fish, you can catch them many different ways from a tail spinner wing-ding type bait to a fluke on a Carolina rig or any of your other minnow imitating baits. Theres also some fish on piles still so don't rule that out. As the water cools off a bit more Id predict that the live scope on bait bite will get better. They do seem a lot smarter than in previous winters but that's the evolution of fish. Hope this helps.

    With the water still around 7ft below pool, Sam Rayburn is still fishing especially good for this time of year. For bass, theres a ton of floating fish on bait for a guy who wants to catch them using livescope or comemout with us and learn how to be more efficient using it. Basically you can just drop ths trolling motor anywhere theres bait and start finding targets everywhere you pan. Ive also found quite a few schools sitting on the top of or the side of ledges depending on the weather. Most of them have been in the 9-15ft range on main lake sturcture which could be an underwater point, creek channel or the edge of a raodbed. Youve got to use your electronics and fish where the fish and bait are not where you think they should be. You cant catch ghosts. For the fish in the bottom we have been rotating through a big plug, Carolina rig and a dropshot. As far as crappie, the but has gotten a lot better the oast two weeks as far as size. There are some really nice crappie on the piles at the moment in about 18-25ft. Sunday was an exceptional day for big crappie and they but really good. It seems like the lower water temps have really helped with the size. I hope this helps anyone looking for some info and would love the opportunity to show you in person.

    As of today, the lake is back on the rise. We got down around 4-foot-high last week, but with all the rain the lake has rose to a little over 5ft high to 169.67. the lake is still fishing pretty good for the water temperatures. You can still catch them about any way you want. Personally, I have been offshore fishing points and hard spots mostly unless I just see a big group of fish. Last week during a trip we found some better than average schooling fish (very large school) and could catch them on a spook, jerkbait or pinging a minnow on em. There's still plenty of fish 12-18ft dependent on thermocline in the area of the lake your fishing. Water clarity is back down a bit but will clear up fairly quick Im sure. Hope this helps.

    As of today the lake is finally still going down slowly and is at a 6.75 feet high. The fishing has still been good offshore. We have been focusing on points from 8-25 ft of water. Every point is different, but we are catching the majority of them on dropshots, carolina rigs with a 6th sense hogwalla and a big crainkbait. When I see a group of fish we will also scope them with a big spoon or wing ding type bait at least to identify that they are bass or not. Personally, I have not been up in the bushes really but there's still some fish up there for sure. The quality bites seem to be offshore for our trips anyways and my topwater bites have seemed to be fading lately. I do think if you land on the right spot you can get right with a big walking bait in a hurry. There's plenty of small fish schooling in certain places as well. The fishing should continue to get better as the water slowly falls it will bring them out to where they are supposed to be this time of year.

    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.
