Lake Austin Hot Bite: 5-8 Lb Bass, Stripers Schooling, Major Feeds All Day Sunday

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha with your Lake Austin fishin' report for Sunday mornin', March 22nd, 2026. Sunrise hit at 7:33 AM, sunset's 7:43 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours 10 minutes of daylight per the solunar forecast for Austin. Fish are bitin' good today—major feedin' windows from 5:48-7:48 AM and 6:15-8:15 PM, with minors at 1:20-2:20 AM and 11:13 AM-noon. Weather's mild, expectin' partly cloudy skies, light winds off the hills, perfect for gettin' out there. Lake Austin's been hot for largemouth bass lately, with folks pullin' in 5-8 pounders near the submerged timber and rock lines. Texas Parks and Wildlife notes solid bass action, plus channel cats up to 9 pounds and big bluegills stackin' up in the shallows. Striped bass are showin' too, schoolin' mid-lake, and we've seen reports of Guadalupe bass hittin' hard around the inflows. Limits are comin' easy—20-30 fish days if you're on 'em. Best lures? Go with Rapala CrushCity Mooch Minnow on a 1/8-ounce head for bass, or a Neko rig with Big Bite Baits Nekorama worm. Umbrella rigs shine for stripers. Live bait kings are shad and minnows for cats, worms or crickets for 'gills. Soft plastics like Berkley Gulp! are killin' it too. Hit these hot spots: McKinney Roughs Nature Park coves for bass ambushes, or the Tom Miller Dam area for current-fed stripers. Stay safe, watch for boat traffic.
