Fresh Lake Travis Fishing Reports

My clients caught five species of fish during the morning trip! The bass fishing on Lake Travis has been absolutely phenomenal for the past few months. When the water surface temperatures were in the low 70s and the shad were spawning, we were catching 30 to 40 bass in a four-hour half day trip. The largemouth bass and white bass could be easily found each morning fishing the grass flats off the Pointe Venture peninsula and other grass flats around the lake. This was just one of the many predictably patterns that we were fishing to catch fish from sunrise to sunset. Now that summer is “officially” here in Central Texas the water temperatures have soared to the low to mid-80s. Some of the fish have migrated to cooler shaded areas near deeper water. In the past week, we have added main lake, deep water, marinas to the rotation where we are consistently catching good numbers of bass. For a successful day on the lake, I would recommend starting at one of the main lake marinas at least 30 minutes before sunrise. The feeding frenzy is a sight to see as groups of bass breach the surface knocking shad into the air. A fast topwater bait on swimbait can get the attention of these more aggressive bass. Once the sun comes up and the schooling activity dies down, move to the outer edge of the grass flats. The water here will be around 15 to 20 feet deep. Fish the grass wall with swimbaits, flukes, jigs and other Texas rigged soft plastics. Craws and big worms are catching the better fish in these areas. When the sun is high in the sky, targeting shaded areas on the deep bluff walls of the channel swings. These areas tend to hold quality fish all year round.

We were catching Hybrids every drop!! Customer on wanted to keep a dozen, but we were catching non stop and left them biting!

Geoff and Daryl were with me from Tulsa Oklahoma. This spring has been some of the best fishing I have seen in several years, and it should continue being really good for another couple months.

I had the pleasure of having Myron Charles with me yesterday! Myron is going to be playing football for the Longhorns this upcoming season!! Bass fishing continues to be better than average on Lake Austin. We have been catching quality and quantity!

I had Zens and Xavier from Denver, Colorado yesterday. They caught 25 plus bass, with Zens catching his personal best weighing 6.14
