  • Lake Austin Fishing Report: Partly Cloudy Skies, Bass Biting at Docks and Brush Piles
    Sep 26 2024
    For those planning to hit Lake Austin today, here’s what you can expect:

    ### Weather and Conditions
    The weather is looking partly cloudy with a high of around 88 degrees and a low of 70 degrees. Sunrise was at 7:23 AM, and sunset will be at 7:33 PM. The water temperature is holding steady at about 85 degrees, and the water is slightly stained.

    ### Fish Activity
    Bass fishing has been decent, especially during the early morning and nighttime hours. Yesterday, anglers reported catching bass by skipping light Texas-rigged worms, creature baits, or jigs around the docks. At night, larger creature baits thrown around the midlake docks were effective for catching the bigger bass. If you can locate brush piles, they are also holding bass.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    While the bass bite has been slow to fair, anglers have been catching a good number of fish. Reports from guides indicate that you can catch around 10-15 bass in a half-day trip, with some larger ones coming in during the night. Other than bass, there have been some reports of catching catfish and bream, but these are not as abundant as the bass.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, the best lures to use are light Texas-rigged worms, creature baits, and jigs. At night, larger creature baits are recommended. For those targeting other species, small jigs and minnows can work well for crappie and bream.

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots to consider are the docks midlake and the rocky walls along thick vegetation. Throwing jigs and Texas-rigged plastics along these areas can be very effective. Additionally, look for brush piles as they are often holding bass.

    Overall, Lake Austin is offering some good fishing opportunities, especially for those who know where to look and what to use. Good luck out there

  • Promising Fishing Conditions at Lake Austin Despite Challenges
    Sep 24 2024
    As of September 24, 2024, Lake Austin is offering a promising day for anglers, despite some challenging conditions.

    **Weather Conditions:**
    The day is expected to be warm, with temperatures hovering around 85 degrees. The wind is moderate, blowing at about 8-10 miles per hour from the south. There is no significant precipitation forecasted, making it an ideal day to be out on the water.

    **Water Conditions:**
    The water level is currently 0.44 feet below pool, and the water temperature is at 85 degrees. The water clarity is slightly stained, which can affect visibility but also provides some cover for the fish.

    **Fishing Spots:**
    For those targeting bass, the best spots are around the docks, particularly during the day. Skipping a light Texas-rigged worm, creature bait, or jig on the docks can yield good results. At night, larger creature baits around midlake docks are recommended to catch the bigger bass. Brush piles are also hotspots, so if you can locate them, you're likely to find bass congregating there.

    **Bait and Tackle:**
    Bass are responding well to jigs and Texas-rigged plastics, especially when thrown against rocky walls and thick vegetation. For night fishing, big creature baits and big worms are highly effective. If you're after other species, small jigs and minnows can catch crappie early and late in the day over brush piles.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Bass are currently in a post-spawn pattern, which means they are scattered but can be found in specific areas like main lake flats, primary and secondary points. Schooling bass are active but scattered, so moving around and locating small schools is key. Early morning and late evening are the best times to catch these fish, especially when targeting them around docks and deep bluff walls.

    **Local Tips:**
    Local guides recommend starting early, around 6 AM, and using small topwater baits, flukes, and swimbaits to catch bass chasing bait to the surface. Adjusting your fish finder settings to track active fish can significantly improve your chances of getting a bite.

    **Regulations and Events:**
    There are no major local events or closures reported for Lake Austin today. However, it's crucial to remember the zebra mussel alert: the law requires draining water from boats and onboard receptacles when leaving or approaching public fresh waters to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.

    In summary, today is a great day to hit Lake Austin, especially if you're targeting bass around the docks and brush piles. Early morning and late evening are the prime times, and using the right bait and tackle will increase your chances of a successful catch. Enjoy your time on the water

  • Rewarding Catches on Lake Austin Amid Changing Conditions
    Sep 23 2024
    As of September 23, 2024, Lake Austin is offering a mixed bag for anglers, with conditions that demand a bit of strategy but promise rewarding catches.

    **Weather Conditions:**
    The day is expected to be partly cloudy with a high temperature of around 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind speeds are moderate, blowing at about 10 mph, and there is a slight chance of scattered showers later in the day.

    **Water Conditions:**
    The water level is 0.44 feet below pool, with a temperature of 85 degrees. The water clarity is stained, which can make it a bit challenging but also presents opportunities for certain fishing techniques.

    **Best Fishing Spots:**
    For bass, the best spots are around the docks, rocky walls, and areas with thick vegetation. Skipping a light Texas-rigged worm, creature bait, or jig on the docks has been particularly effective. Schooling activity offshore in 20-30 feet of water is also notable, especially during calm periods with low winds. Here, small topwaters, swimbaits, and flukes are good choices for targeting schoolies.

    **Bait and Tackle Recommendations:**
    For largemouth bass, use big creature baits and big worms, especially at night when flipping docks. During the day, focus on rocky walls and thick vegetation with jigs and Texas-rigged plastics. For those targeting the schooling bass, small swimbaits and flukes are ideal.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Bass have pulled out deep to suspend around bait, so be prepared to fish at various depths. The feeding window is best around 20 minutes either side of sunset, but early morning and late evening periods are also productive. Schooling activity is more pronounced when the water is calm and winds are low.

    **Local Events and Regulations:**
    There are no major local events scheduled for today, but it's important to remember the zebra mussel alert. The law requires draining water from boats and onboard receptacles when leaving or approaching public fresh waters to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.

    **Tips from Local Anglers:**
    According to local guide Bryan Cotter from Texas Hawgs, "Fishing at night with big creature baits and big worms on the docks can yield some impressive catches. During the day, don't overlook the rocky walls and thick vegetation areas".

    **Best Times for Fishing:**
    The best times to fish today are early morning and late evening, with a special focus on the 20-minute window around sunset. If you can, take advantage of the calm periods during the day to target the schooling bass offshore.

    With the right tackle and a bit of patience, Lake Austin promises an exciting day of fishing. Remember to stay safe, follow local regulations, and enjoy the beautiful Texas scenery. Happy fishing
