  • Lake Austin Fishing Report: Bass, Crappie, and More Biting on Variety of Lures

    Lake Austin Fishing Report: Bass, Crappie, and More Biting on Variety of Lures
    Dec 4 2025
    Hey folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Lake Austin fishing report for Thursday, December 4th. Water's sitting at a cool 60 degrees with good clarity and we're running about 0.63 feet below pool level, which is pretty solid for this time of year.

    The bite's been fair to good out there. Bass are definitely active on jerkbaits worked along the structure, and that's been the hot pattern lately. We've also seen solid action on three-inch paddle tail swimbaits when you work them over the submerged grass—especially if you've got forward-facing sonar to locate suspended fish. The shallow bite on weightless soft plastic stick worms around inside grasslines has been consistent, so don't overlook those edges.

    If you want to mix things up, crappie are good on jigs and minnows fished over cover in the 4 to 15-foot range, and white bass are showing up on slab spoons over points and main lake ridges. Blue and yellow catfish are also cooperating on cut bait and live offerings around cover.

    For lure selection, grab yourself some topwater baits for the shallows—that's where the action is concentrated right now. Texas-rigged worms, squarebills, and chatterbaits are all producing. The Keitech Swing Impact FAT and Yamamoto Senko are proven performers out here too.

    You want hot spots? Work the outside grass lines with your worms and creature baits. Skip jigs or Texas-rigged soft plastics under the deeper docks—that's producing some quality fish, even at night. The schooling action midlake has been excellent on crankbaits and swimbaits when you find those baitfish pods.

    Lake Austin Fishing Report - December 3rd, 2025
    Dec 3 2025
    # Lake Austin Fishing Report - December 3rd, 2025

    Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Austin fishing report for Wednesday, December 3rd.

    Let me tell you, conditions are shaping up nicely on the lake today. We're looking at a pleasant early December day with good fishing potential. The water's still in decent shape with some fish activity building, especially as we head into the cooler winter pattern.

    **Fish Activity & Recent Catches**

    According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife records, Lake Austin has been producing some solid bass action. The largemouth bite has been particularly interesting—Willie Pipkin landed a 14-pounder back in February that shows what's possible in these waters. We're also seeing consistent crappie catches this time of year. Black crappie are hitting regularly, with a recent record of 3.04 pounds on a rod and reel.

    Beyond the bass and crappie, you've got solid opportunities for catfish. Blue catfish up to 44 pounds have been landed here, along with flatheads reaching over 26 pounds. If you're feeling adventurous, there's also striped bass action, with historical records showing fish pushing 45 pounds.

    **Best Baits & Lures**

    For bass, get yourself some topwater baits and work the shallow zones—that's where the action is right now. Power baits work well for the catfish crowd, especially if you're targeting channel cats. Live baitfish and cut bait are your friends for the bigger blues and flatheads.

    **Top Spots**

    I'd recommend checking out the area around the Lady Bird Lake dam structure if the gates allow access—excellent cover for bass. The shallow flats near the boat ramps also produce consistently this time of year.

    Thanks for tuning in! Don't forget to subscribe for daily updates on Lake Austin and Central Texas fishing conditions.

  • Lake Austin December Fishing Report - Shallow Bites, Hot Spots, and Lure Recommendations

    Lake Austin December Fishing Report - Shallow Bites, Hot Spots, and Lure Recommendations
    Dec 2 2025
    # Lake Austin Fishing Report - December 2nd, 2025

    Well howdy, I'm Artificial Lure, and here's your Tuesday morning fishing report for Lake Austin.

    We're looking at a solid day on the water. Sunrise was at 7:08 this morning, and you've got until 5:45 PM to make your moves, giving us a decent eight-hour window. The major bite times are happening right now between 8 and 10 AM, with another strong period tonight from 8:27 to 10:27 PM.

    **What's Been Biting**

    Word from the water is that folks have been doing real well targeting shallow structure. If you're working clay points in 5 to 10 feet of water, you're in the zone. Bass have been positioned around stumps, brushpiles, and grass flats—especially fish that are either guarding fry or just recuperating from the spawn. The average catch is running solid numbers, with anglers pulling quality fish consistently.

    **What to Throw**

    Here's what's working: Start with a drop-shot setup using a PowerBait MaxScent Hit Worm or a Zoom Trick Worm—keep it simple. Minnows on lightweight jigheads between 3/32 and 1/8 ounce are producing well on the shallow fish. If you're feeling lucky, a 6.5-inch Zoom Winged Fluke on a 3/16-ounce head will get attention. Throw some ChatterBaits too—a 3/4-ounce option in shad patterns mixed with a trailer is money in brush and around deeper breaks.

    **Hot Spots**

    Target the shallow clay points along the main lake body—those little bitty points in 5 to 10 feet are absolute magnets. Second, work the dock areas and brush piles in the early morning. Get under those docks where bluegill are hanging in 6 to 10 inches of water.

  • Early Winter Fishing Report for Lake Austin

    Early Winter Fishing Report for Lake Austin
    Dec 1 2025
    # Lake Austin Fishing Report - December 1st, 2025

    Well folks, it's your boy Artificial Lure bringing you the Lake Austin fishing report for this Monday morning. We're heading into early winter here, and the bite is shifting, but there's still opportunity for some solid action.

    Water temps are cooling down nicely, sitting in that sweet spot where the fish are still feeding but not quite locked down yet. We're looking at stable conditions today with no major weather disruptions expected, so if you can get out this morning, the early hours are gonna be prime time.

    For bass fishing, we're seeing some decent action on crappie and catfish as well. The lake's been pretty productive lately. Largemouth bass are still responding well—focus your efforts around structure and deeper holes where they're congregating as temps drop.

    Now here's the real deal for baits and lures: classic approaches are working best right now. For bass, you want to throw suspending jerkbaits with good scaly patterns and work them with pauses—don't be afraid to let them sit for 5 to 10 seconds. Spinners in size three or four are also money, especially in silver with colored bodies in clear water. Crankbaits, particularly square bill designs, are producing too.

    If you're targeting catfish, we're seeing some great success with cut bait—chunks of shad or rough fish work fantastic. Live bait presentations with solid rod pressure will land you some solid fish in the 3 to 10-pound range.

    I'd recommend heading to the deeper holes and channel areas where the structure concentrates fish. Early morning from sunrise until about mid-morning is your window before the bite slows down.

    Thanks for tuning in to the Lake Austin fishing report. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates and tight lines out there.

    Lake Austin Fishing Report - November 30, 2025
    Nov 30 2025
    # Lake Austin Fishing Report - November 30, 2025

    Hey, this is Artificial Lure bringing you today's Lake Austin fishing report for Sunday, November 30th.

    We're looking at a cool morning here on the lake with sunrise at 7:12 AM and sunset at 7:45 PM, giving us just under 12 and a half hours of daylight to work with. Major bite times are hitting hard from 3:03 to 5:03 AM and again from 3:33 to 5:33 PM, so if you can get out early or stick around through the evening, those are your windows.

    **Recent Activity & What's Biting**

    The postspawn bite has been solid across Central Texas lakes. We're seeing strong largemouth action, and folks have been connecting on some quality fish using both shallow and deep presentations. The water's been cool but productive, which means the bass are actively feeding.

    **Best Baits & Lures**

    For today, I'd recommend bringing a drop-shot rig with a 6-inch straight tail worm—that's been money in similar conditions. A Carolina rig with a creature bait will work the main lake structure and shell bars. If you want reaction baits, deep-diving crankbaits around hard spots and ledges should produce. Early morning, don't sleep on swim jigs working the grass edges and timber.

    **Hot Spots to Hit**

    Target the main river ledge and any isolated hard spots you can find—those are holding concentrations of quality fish right now. Work the grass lines early, especially if you've got shad activity. The points coming off the main lake body are prime real estate this time of year.

    Stay safe out there, keep your line tight, and thanks for tuning in! Don't forget to subscribe for your next Lake Austin update.

  • Lake Austin Fishing Report: Ideal Conditions and Bountiful Bites

    Lake Austin Fishing Report: Ideal Conditions and Bountiful Bites
    Nov 29 2025
    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Austin fishing report for Saturday morning, November 29th.

    Water temps are sitting right around 67 degrees, and we've got some stained conditions out there, which is actually working in our favor. The lake is running about a quarter foot above pool level, so access to those shallow flats and creek channels should be pretty solid today.

    For sunrise, you're looking at just after 7 AM, giving you plenty of daylight to work with until sunset around 5:15 PM. That gives us a solid eight-hour window to get after it.

    The bite's been steady across the board. We're seeing good action on largemouth bass, with recent catches pushing into the 14-pound range—solid fish for Lake Austin. The hybrid stripers are active too, and don't sleep on the crappie bite right now. Channel catfish have been cooperative as well, especially on the deeper ledges.

    For lures, stick with what's working: throw some umbrella rigs with swimbaits if you've got forward-facing sonar, but honestly, don't overthink it. A good old-fashioned jig and craw pattern will put fish in the boat. Throw some topwater early and late in the day—the bite is aggressive right now. Swimbaits in the 3 to 4-inch range are your sweet spot.

    If you're running bait, live shad and shiners are money for the stripers and catfish.

    I'd head to the upper end near the Pedernales River area for some current-fed structure, or work those brush piles and shallow channels near the dam. Both spots are holding fish right now.

    Thanks so much for tuning in! Make sure you subscribe for daily reports.

  • Lake Austin Fishing Report - Swimbaits, Jerkbaits, and Alabama Rigs for Largemouths

    Lake Austin Fishing Report - Swimbaits, Jerkbaits, and Alabama Rigs for Largemouths
    Nov 28 2025
    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Austin fishing report for Friday morning, November 28th.

    Water temps are hovering around 67 degrees with good clarity and a decent stain throughout the lake – that's actually pretty favorable right now for getting bites. We're looking at a First Quarter Moon, so you should expect fair overall bite conditions today.

    The bass are really keying in on small baitfish out in the river channel this week, so if you're targeting largemouths, bring your small ball head swimbaits and jerkbaits. Alabama rigs are also producing solid catches. There's still plenty of matted grass around the lake, so don't shy away from punching through with a heavy jig – some nice fish are hiding in there.

    For lure selection, I'd recommend starting with those small swimbaits and jerkbaits, but also bring some Alabama rigs and heavy jigs for the grass. Match your lure sizes to the baitfish in the lake – the bass are actively feeding on shad right now. Texas-rigged soft plastics are also working, especially near deeper docks at night.

    Your hot spots today? Hit the river channel where the bass are schooling on small baitfish – that's your primary target zone. Also work the outside grass lines. There's good structure there holding some quality fish, especially working it with worms and creature baits. Major bite times today run from 6:26 AM to 8:26 AM and again from 6:44 PM to 8:44 PM.

    Get out there and tight lines, y'all. Thanks for tuning in and please subscribe for your daily reports!

    Lake Austin Fishing Report - November 27, 2025

    # Lake Austin Fishing Report – November 27, 2025

    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake Austin fishing report for this Thursday morning. Water temperature is sitting at a comfortable 67 degrees with good clarity throughout the lake, and we're looking at a decent stain in the water right now, which is actually pretty favorable for fishing.

    The bite this week is running fair overall. Bass are really keying in on small baitfish out in the river channel, so if you're targeting largemouths, bring your small ball head swimbaits and jerkbaits. Alabama rigs are also producing solid catches. There's still quite a bit of matted grass around the lake, so don't shy away from punching through with a heavy jig – some nice fish are hiding in there.

    For lure selection, I'd recommend starting with those small swimbaits and jerkbaits I mentioned, but also bring some Alabama rigs and heavy jigs for the grass. Match your lure sizes to the baitfish in the lake – the bass are actively feeding on shad right now.

    Now, if you're looking for hot spots, check out the river channel where the bass are schooling on small baitfish. That's your primary target zone. Also work the outside grass lines – there's good structure there holding some quality fish, especially if you're working it with worms and creature baits. Some anglers have reported success near deeper docks at night with Texas-rigged soft plastics.

    The water level is running just slightly below pool at 0.57 feet down, so normal navigation shouldn't be too difficult. Get out there early to make the most of the morning bite, and remember to wear your life jacket out there.

    Thanks for tuning in to the Lake Austin fishing report. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates, and remember – tight lines out there, friends.
