We have been on a very good striped bass bite this summer on lake buchanan. We’ve been catching fish on live shad along with topwater lures for some very fun action! I have been mostly doing morning trips for the best bite and to beat the heat! Book your trip today to get in on the action.

We have enjoyed a long and hot warming trend with air temps in the 80’s and 90’s leading to higher water temps seeing a spike in our fishing. Now we have many options for fishing and all are good. Largemouth bass are moving up shallow to spawn and were catching some really nice big bass. White bass are also moving up rivers and tributaries to make their spawn as well with the stripers and hybrids mixed up with them as well. Springtime is the BEST time to fish in central texas and there is very few dates that remain on the schedule. Book your trip today to get the date that you want !

There is no secret that Austin offers some incredible fishing but there is a special lake a short drive from downtown and the airport. Lake Walter E Long or Lake decker as commonly called has a high density population of Largemouth bass and Hybrid Striped bass in both numbers and size! Lake Buchanan has been fishing very well recently but I had a day off from guiding so I am always looking to fish and try new techniques in different waters so I decided to spend a afternoon on lake decker to try fly fishing. With the lake being small in size its easy to cover a lot of water with the flies. Our first big bite came and to my surprise it was a largemouth and a good one too a solid five pounder! We kept covering water and then we got another big bite and this one pulled off a bunch of line and quite the fight later a very large hybrid striped bass 24 inches and 6.5 pounds an absolute blast on the fly tackle. We wound up catching more hybrids and largemouth throughout the rest of the trip a true success on the new fly technique. If you are in the Austin area and want to try something very different and fun book a morning or afternoon fly fishing trip!
