 Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for May 19th, 2025, coming to you from beautiful Lake Sam Rayburn. We're looking at another fine day on Big Sam as we ease into those summer patterns.

Water's sitting pretty at about a foot and a half above pool level with temperatures holding steady around 74 degrees. The water's got that typical stain to it, but visibility is decent enough to put some fish in the boat. Sun came up this morning at about 6:25 AM and we'll see it set around 8:20 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to wet a line.

Bass fishing has been GOOD this past week. Those post-spawners are fully transitioning to their summer haunts now. They're starting to stack up nicely on points, humps, and offshore structure in that 8 to 14 foot range. Your best bet has been working those ledges with Texas rigs and Carolina rigs. I've had particular success with big watermelon red or junebug worms around the old timber. With the lack of grass this year, that timber's providing prime structure.

For you shallow water enthusiasts, there's still decent action flipping brush and trees, especially with the high water we've got. Any pencil grass or hay grass you can find is worth hitting with topwater frogs and poppers in the early morning hours. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits have been producing well on the points and structure too.

Crappie fishing has been HOT. They're slowly moving out to the brush piles as they finish up spawning. Jigs and minnows at 4 to 12 feet around trees and brush have been filling livewells. Try around the Cassels-Boykin area or up in the Attoyac arm for some slab action.

Catfish have been on a tear lately. They're biting aggressively on cut bait in the creek channels and ledges. Anglers are reporting excellent catches in the 3 to 10 foot range.

Hot spots this week include the Harvey Creek area for bass on those ledges, Twin Creeks for crappie in the brush piles, and the Hanks Creek arm for catfish. Don't overlook the Needmore area if you're after those summer pattern bass.

Remember folks, with Memorial Day weekend coming up, we'll be seeing increased boat traffic, so mind your manners out there. Tight lines and good fishing to y'all until next time! This is Artificial Lure signing off from Sam Rayburn.
