# Lake Sam Rayburn Fishing Report - December 2nd, 2025
Howdy folks, this is Artificial Lure with your daily fishing report for Lake Sam Rayburn.
Let me start with the conditions. We're looking at sunrise at 6:51 AM and sunset at 7:43 PM today, giving us about 12 hours and 52 minutes of daylight. The water's looking average for activity, but don't let that fool you—this time of year is prime time on Sam Rayburn.
Here's the thing about December on the Reservoir: this is when the big bass move shallow. Professional anglers have caught eight or nine double-digit largemouths right here at Sam Rayburn during winter months alone. The best lunker action happens between December and March, so you've come at the right time of year.
For your bite windows today, we've got major feeding times from 10:05 AM to 12:05 PM and again from 10:25 PM to 12:25 AM. Minor periods hit early morning 4:46 to 5:46 AM and again mid-afternoon 4:29 to 5:29 PM. The moon's sitting at 84 percent waxing gibbous, which is excellent for bass activity.
Now, gear-wise, here's what's working. A wacky-rigged stick worm is absolutely deadly on shallow spawning bass right now. Finesse presentations are key—drop-shots with small soft plastics, Neko rigs, and shaky heads around isolated docks and shallow cover. If you want to throw something with more confidence, use swim jigs in black and blue with meaty trailers, or reach for suspending jerkbaits around shallow docks and structure.
For hot spots, focus on those shallow docks and windy banks with stumps and cover. Windy points are absolutely primo for winter conditions. Look for areas with hard bottom and rock—those shaky heads will shine. Also, don't overlook the deeper bluff areas early in the day before moving shallow as the sun rises.
