Trip Summary

Went out last night with Skeeter (my Great Dane) and fished Lake Travis. We were only out there for the evening, but we had to have caught at least 30 fish. I've been on a school of fish lately that is massive. You'll see them blowing up all around the boat when they get chasing shad. We've been catching some nice fish out of this school, but the bigger fish have been coming late at night. Once it got dark we started throwing worms and jigs and caught several very nice sized bass.

Spring is Near and the Fishing Has Been
Spring is Near and the Fishing Has Been
February 10, 2025
You can't go wrong with a fishing trip anytime from February to June. Not to say you can't have great fishing in the summer, but the spring is a killer time to be on the water in Austin. Keep in mind in Central Texas, even in February the water is only in the upper 50's at its coldest. This means the fish spawn much earlier around here than they do in most of the US. As of this past week I have seen plenty of signs that bass are on pre-spawn patterns, with some fish even building nests in some spots! This past week I have had clients catch a bunch of fish. I had one trip on Lake Travis a couple days ago that caught well over 30 bass. The lake is super healthy this year with beautiful grass flats growing bass and clean clear water on the lower end of the lake. At the moment I've been catching a lot of fish fishing a little deeper throwing Carolina Rigs, Jigs, Dropshots, and Neko Rigs. We have also been targeting fish throwing jerkbaits and crankbaits when we come across fish working the deeper weed edges feeding on shad. As the water temps increase the patterns will start to change and more moving baits such as swimbaits, flukes, crankbaits and topwater lures will be on deck. The fun part about this time of year is that depending on the part of the lake you are in the fish can be on different patterns. This means you have a bunch of different ways to target them! Historically this is the time of year I have lots of trips that average 20+ fish... I'm not the kind of guide to over promise and bullshit you, but I've had a lot of trips in the springtime catch 50+ bass during their trip. If you can cast I can put you on fish! The other fun thing about getting out there on the water is that you never know what you're going to hook into! This past week the Buffalo carp seem to be following me around as I've had two BIG ones hit the net. If you are interested in getting out on the water, book your trip and we'll get on a phone call and discuss what you want to catch and what would be your ideal guided trip.
