Last Lunker Hurrah of 2025 - Winter Bass Bonanza on Lake Sam Rayburn
from Lake Sam Rayburn, Texas Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI
Howdy, y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to fishin' guide here on the piney woods edge of Lake Sam Rayburn, Texas. It's December 31st, 2025, 'round 8:30 AM, and we're wrappin' up the year with some prime winter bass action. Sunrise hit at 7:08 AM, sunset's comin' at 5:39 PM—plenty of daylight to chase those hawgs before the ShareLunker season kicks off tomorrow on New Year's Day. Weather's mild today: highs in the low 60s, light north breeze 5-10 mph, partly cloudy skies per local forecasts. No tides on this big reservoir, but water levels are steady at 159 feet, stained clarity, 55-degree surface temps—perfect for bass schooled up on ledges and points. Fish activity's heatin' up after a banner 2025. TPWD's Toyota ShareLunker reports Sam Rayburn dropped Legacy Class lunkers over 13 pounds this year, includin' a double-lunker day with Lake Tyler back in March. Big Bass Splash turned up dozens of hefty largemouths too. Catfish are bitin' good on cut shad, crappie stackin' in brush piles, but largemouth bass are the stars—folks haulin' in 5-10 pounders steady, with trophies pushin' 13+. For lures, go winter-strong: lipless crankbaits like Rat-L-Traps in shad or bluegill patterns ripped over grass flats. Swim jigs with craw trailers or green pumpkin flippin' rigs for punchin' hydrilla. Finesse drop-shots with soft plastics shine in 10-20 feet. Live bait? Shiners or worms on Carolina rigs for the big girls; cut bait for cats. Hit these hot spots: Hurricane Bay ledges for deep bass, and the mouth of Mill Creek for shallow ambushers—target 8-15 feet with current breaks. Y'all get out there safe, wear PFDs, and report those monsters to the ShareLunker hotline at 903-681-0550. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!
