I’m new to the forum but have been fishing the lake for years. We’re headed up next week/weekend Sunday through Tuesday to get ready for the rat-l-trap tournament if anyone wants to get together. I’ll also be up there the 18-20 for the tourney. Better get you some 3/4 and 1 oz traps. The grass is DEEP with the lake being 9’ high 1 Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 It’ll be interesting to see who figures it out for the FLW tour this week. I’ve been on a very specific pattern, but man it’s turning up big numbers and size. I feel if anyone else gets on it, 25lbs a day is doable. 1 Quote

Yea it will be cool to watch and don't worry ive already got a box FULL of em. im not even sure if ill bring my 1/2 ounce lol. hopefully we can figure something out in a few days. we were on a good amount of fish 2 months ago but I started working a lot of OT for the end of the year and haven't been in a while. 1 Quote
Dirtybaybassin Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Well, it was very interesting to say the least. Fishing this lake 10” above pool is very interesting. A lot of fish are being caught on the inside/shallow edge of the grass. We did not find that bite however. Almost all of our fish (15 or so) were caught out on main lake points or on points leading into a creek. Drop shots and Carolina rigs are what we caught em on but also caught a few in the 10-16 fow range on a swing jig. Quote
Robert3 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Any new reports with the water being so high? Quote
RonnieS Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 The Corp of Engineer site shows all but one ramp closed. Anyone know of a place to launch? Quote
kingmotorboat Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I've got a tournament out of Rayburn Saturday launching out of Cassell. First time on lake. Somewhat flying blind. Probably gonna stay in and around the cove Quote
RichF Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I'm taking a short family vacation to Rayburn in a couple weeks and plan on doing a little fishing with my dad, sister, and brother in law. I know the lake is still super high. Any pointers would be much appreciated!! Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Look for bare spots between the bushes and grass. Hardspots seem to be holding good fish 2 Quote
RichF Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Are most of the ramps still closed due to the high water? I can't seem to find a current list online. Quote

Scot Ferguson Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 How's it going y'all? Hope y'all can possibly help me with a few questions. I'm staying on Toledo Bend next week.....and was thinking of going over to Rayburn to give it a shot for a day.....maybe 2. Never been on the lake before. From where I'm staying it looks like the closest place I could fish Rayburn would be putting in at Townsend park. Looks like alot of timber and little cuts around there.......that is looking by satellite view. Is this a decent area? Don't wanna waste my time if there is a better area close by. Not looking for yall's secrets.......just wanna have a chance at some decent success to catch a few. Any help GREATLY appreciated!!!!!! Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I would suggest putting in at Mill Creek Park. You won’t have to go far to find fish. There is hydrilla, bushes, cypress trees, etc all close by Quote

RCCA Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 My camper is on Six Mile at Toledo. Now that the landings are open again, you have many choices. I usually go to Five Fingers, San Augustine, Mill Creek, Caney, and the one on the side of the road in Ayish. Plenty more options. I'm pretty sure they're all good. 1 Quote
Wesley Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Rayburn has been tough for me lately but my last trip out there landed me a tagged bass from 2018. I didnt even realize that you could get something from last years tags and ended up with $500 cash, a pair of Costas and a new Falcon fishing rod. Not too shabby for a $100 entry fee to fish on two lakes! 2 Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 26, 2019 Super User Posted March 26, 2019 @Wesley Great job! Excellent program ? 1 Quote
Kidflex Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Late report, fished Rayburn Sunday after fishing Toledo Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Rayburn was good to us. Took some buddies that have never been to this lake before and they were pleased by the end of the day. 2 boats, 40 fish total. We launched out of sandy creek. And within 5 min started wearing them out. I got a 6.6 lber and 5.5 30 min apart from the same area. My buddy got an 8lber at the end of the day. 5 Quote
Wesley Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Nice! Looks like it was a good trip for yall 1 Quote
Dark Halo Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 New Here, Been fishing Rayburn for the last few years but could use any help and advise from any of the more seasoned Fisherman. I want to get in to some of the local Tournaments being it is only 30 mins from the house. I did register for the Big Bass Splash, but I've haven't caught anything over 6lbs yet. 1 Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 The bass fishing is good, but the white perch fishing has been off the charts. I’m doing some white perch trips if anyone is interested. 12-20’ with brush seems to be the key. 1 Quote
RonnieS Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 A co-worker showed me a pic of a very nice limit caught out of San Augustine Park last weekend. Said he caught about 30 fishing grassy banks. Haven't heard about any deep. Quote
kj21 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Does anyone have a fishing report for rayburn? Quote
