For those planning to fish at Lake Austin today, here’s what you can expect:

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.

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.

Topwater baits are still producing well, especially in the morning. Anglers caught bass up to 2 pounds, mostly in the evenings. For those targeting bass, skipping light Texas-rigged worms or using topwater baits near the docks and brush piles should yield some results.

As for other fish, there have been no significant reports of other species, but the bass activity has been the main focus.

Hot spots to consider include the midlake docks and any areas with brush piles. These spots have been holding a good number of bass, especially during the early morning and nighttime hours.

Remember to check the local regulations and be mindful of your surroundings on the water. Good luck and tight lines
