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

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. Thanks for tuning in, folks. Make sure you subscribe for your next fishing forecast.
