Lake Austin Fishing Report: Partly Cloudy Skies, Bass Biting at Docks and Brush Piles

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.
