Background
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.

Sam Rayburn Fishing Reports
Sam Rayburn Fishing Reports
Aug 1, 2024 Brookeland
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.

Big ones up shallow

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.
