Sam Rayburn
GOOD. Water stained; 87 degrees; 8.03 feet above pool. Bass are good on topwaters, or flipping soft plastics into submerged brush and points, or deeper humps and points with Carolina rigs. Crappie are in 12-16 feet of water, 20-30 feet on timber and brush. Catfish are in 22 feet of water in the creek channels. White bass are in 26 feet of water off of points on jigging spoons. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.
Toledo Bend
GOOD. Water slightly stained; 80 degrees; 0.46 feet above pool. Water still high with more rain coming, the lake is right at normal pool. Historically, the lake level is typically 1.5 feet below pool or lower this time of year. Water temperature is running in the mid 80s at daylight and rising to the low 90s by afternoon. Bass are good shallow to deep all over the lake however you like to fish. The best baits for shallow water are frogs, pop r’s, buzz baits and senko. The mid range fish are good on Texas rig and mid running crankbait in 8-12 feet range. The deep fish are coming on big crankbaits, Texas rigs and Carolina rigs. With the full moon coming, the night fishing will be back on fire with buzz baits and spinnerbaits around the shallow water. Watch for snakes in the flooded bushes at night. Crappie are fair while there continues to be a current from the influx of freshwater coming down the lake. Fish deep docks and lighted docks at night and shallow brush piles with jigs and live bait. Thanks Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
SALTWATER
Sabine LakeFAIR. 86 degrees. Inclement weather leading into the weekend will limit fishing efforts. North winds were blowing this last week creating tough conditions on Sabine Lake. Catching limits of speckled trout with redfish mixed in early in the morning at the jetties. Sabine Channel shell flats, banks and rock piles producing catches of redfish and trout with live shrimp under a popping cork. Speckled trout are good along the beach under the birds early morning. Trout and bull redfish can be caught at the rigs. Report by Captain Randy Foreman, Captain Randy’s Guide Service Sabine Lake.
Bolivar
GOOD. 82 degrees. Water levels are perfect with tides and low wind this week changing back to four tide days over the weekend. Still some fresh water on the bay side but it hasn’t affected the bite. People are still catching plenty of redfish of varying sizes everywhere! Small croakers along with sand trout, sheepshead, black drum, speckled trout, and crabs caught along the jetty with plenty of stingrays and sharks. Pompano and Jack Crevalle are still running. The surf is producing redfish and black drum, gafftop, lots of stingrays, and bigger sharks along the whole peninsula. The sargassum, seaweed, is thick in spots and it is less if you move 100-200 yards. People are using a variety of bait this past week with awesome results. Report by Captain Shane Rilat, North Jetty Bait Camp.
