Lake Sam Rayburn Fishing Report: Quality Largemouths, Schooling White Bass, and Steady Catfish

# Lake Sam Rayburn Fishing Report - November 30, 2025 Well, howdy y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for Sam Rayburn! Let me tell you, we've had some absolutely stellar fishing action out here lately. Just this past week, we've seen some impressive catches coming off the water. The largemouth population is firing on all cylinders right now, with anglers landing some serious quality fish. We've also had excellent reports on white bass schooling up, plus catfish activity has been steady for those looking to put some meat in the cooler. Speaking of quality largemouths, recent tournament action on Big Sam showed some tremendous bags. One pro angler just put together back-to-back 27-pound limits fishing offshore timber in 30 to 50 feet of water. That's the kind of consistent excellence we're seeing out there right now. Here's what's working: If you're targeting those offshore timber fields, drop a Deps Sakamata Shad on a three-eighths ounce jighead. For general ledge fishing, don't overlook a simple six-inch Roboworm on a drop-shot—it's probably your best cleanup bait going. Big worms on a Texas rig are also producing, especially in red or plum colors. And if you want to get a little creative, spoons are deadly when worked through schools, and spinnerbaits are catching fish too. If you're more of a shallow water angler, topwater in the grass has been producing nice fish, and don't sleep on flipping tubes around heavy cover—classic for a reason. For your hot spots, focus on those protected pockets out of the wind where threadfin shad congregate, and don't overlook the offshore timber fields we mentioned. Those deeper structures in 30 to 50 feet are absolutely loaded right now. Thanks so much for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for your daily Sam Rayburn updates!
