Lake Austin Fishing Report: Bass, Cats, and Slabs Bite Strong This December

# Lake Austin Fishing Report Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Austin fishing report. Water conditions are looking good out there—we've got clear water and a comfortable 72 degrees. The lake is running just about a foot low right now, so you're going to want to stick to the deeper channels and main lake structure. The largemouth bass bite has been solid. Word is they're responding really well to moving baits and soft plastics. If you want to dial it in, get yourself some Texas-rigged creature baits or flukes and work those transition areas where the deeper water meets the shallows. The bass are aggressive right now in December, so don't be afraid to throw some action at them. For catfish, cut bait is your ticket—channel cats are feeding good this time of year when the water's cool like this. White bass and hybrids are worth targeting too if you're in the mood for some fast action on slabs and Alabama rigs. Now, let me give you a couple of hot spots. If you're launching near downtown, the deeper holes along the main channel are holding some quality fish. Work the ledges and drop-offs where the water gets deep quick. Up toward the north end of the lake, those creek channels are producing solid bass and catfish action. The Lone Star Outdoor News confirms the water clarity is good and those soft plastics are working a treat. Crappie have been slow here compared to some of the other lakes around, so I'd focus your efforts on the bass and catfish bite if you're headed out today. Bundle up out there—it's early December so mornings are crisp, but once the sun gets up, it warms to a pleasant fishing day. Thanks for tuning in, folks.
