Trip Summary
What an amazing lake! The July 4th weekend floods have nearly tripled the volume of water on Lake Travis. It’s fishing like an entirely new lake with miles and miles of freshly flooded brush shorelines, points and creeks. We’ve fishing a few solid patterns right now can catching good numbers from sunrise until just after noon. These patterns should hold for the next few months as the water temperatures are just about maxed out at 87-89 degrees.
Flooded Main-lake Brush
Start the morning just before sunrise and head out to the nearest recently flooded flats on a channel swing. Put the boat in 20 to 30 feet of water and throw up to any visible brush and exposed vegetation. Big worms and creature baits are catching nice keepers from 2 to 3 pounds. We’re able to catch consistently until around 10 am when we move to fishing the second pattern for the remainder of the morning.
Main-lake Bluffs
Once the sun starts to really shorten the shadows on the bluffs, the bass will hold very tight to the rocks, docks, and shady cuts. Fish the shade close to deep waters. The boat can be in 30 to 70 feet of water, but the target areas are the ledges from the shoreline down to 20 feet deep. Texas rigged worms, speed craws and dropshots are still catching good numbers until the sun apexes and the shade is gone.
