Lady Bird Lake is at a normal level with clear water offering roughly 4–6 feet of visibility and water temperatures around 70 degrees. Bass are positioned shallow on flats in and around spawning areas, relating to submerged vegetation and areas with a slightly harder substrate. Most fish appear to be in the spawning to post-spawn phases, and are grouped up in specific areas rather than spread out across the lake.
Drop-shot rigged finesse worms and light Texas-rigged stick worms have been producing the most consistent action when worked through these shallow flats. Once a fish is located, slowing down and thoroughly working the area has been key to catching multiple fish. There has not been a noticeable pattern tied to weather or time of day, with fish being caught consistently throughout the day.
