Hello mr. Glenn
Rayburn is a big place. Numerous boat launches. The lake level has come back up some since I last checked, but I don’t believe it’s full pool yet. I would suggest a guide since it’s your first trip to the lake. If you are not getting a guide, one thing to remember is the northern part of the lake will be warmer than the southern part. The fish will be more active in that part first. Get a topo map, find the creek channels on the map, then use the depth finder on your boat to locate the channels once you get to the part of the lake you want to fish. I would fish the channels from about the 10ft depth and shallower and any grass I would see. Use any bait that you have confidence in. I’ve caught fish there in winter using everything from 10” worms to whopper ploppers to crankbaits. Good luck to you. Be safe.

I’m just a retired old guy with a bad back that precludes boat fishing.
Can anyone suggest where I can bank fish on the upper end of Sam Rayburn lake in Tx?
