Howdy folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you the Lake Sam Rayburn fishing report for Wednesday, November 26th, 2025.
We're heading into late fall here at Rayburn, and the fishing's starting to heat up as the water temps continue cooling down. With sunrise coming around 7:12 AM and sunset at 5:45 PM, you've got a solid window to get out on the water today.
The bite's been good across the lake, and we're seeing some quality fish being caught. This time of year, lipless crankbaits are absolutely deadly, especially when you're working them along the grass edges. The water temperature's dropping into that sweet spot where a lipless like the Strike King Red Eye Shad becomes a go-to bait. The yo-yo technique works wonders – cast it out, let it tick the grass, then rip it free and watch it fall on slack line. That's where they'll eat it.
We're also seeing success with swimbaits and live bait presentations. Keep your rod tip high around the 10 o'clock position when you're working shallow, and don't be afraid to experiment with different sizes depending on what baitfish you're seeing.
For your hot spots today, I'd recommend checking out the northern end of the lake where the grass edges meet the deeper water. Also work the creek channels coming in – the baitfish are moving in there, and the bass aren't far behind.
