Lake Travis Fishing Report – Summer Marina Pattern Producing Schooling Bass (July 2, 2026)

by Leave a Comment

Lake Travis is offering clear water with roughly 4–6 feet of visibility, water temperatures around 82 degrees, and a water level approximately 9 feet below full pool. Summer patterns are firmly established, with large schools of bass relating to the many marinas throughout the lake where they are actively feeding and grouping up.

Drop-shot rigged finesse worms have been producing the most consistent action around marina docks and associated structure. During the first and last hour of daylight, a drop-shot rig fished near bluff ends has also been producing quality fish. Overall, the fishing has remained fair, with anglers finding the best success by targeting schooling bass around marinas and taking advantage of the low-light feeding windows.

Lake Travis Fishing Report – Flooded Brush Producing Quality Summer Bass (June 25, 2026)

by Leave a Comment

Lake Travis is offering good summer fishing with water temperatures around 83 degrees and clear water providing approximately 4–6 feet of visibility. Although the lake remains roughly 8 feet below full pool, recent water level increases have flooded fresh shoreline vegetation, creating excellent shallow habitat that has been holding some of the better-quality bass.

Neko-rigged creature baits, drop-shot rigged finesse worms, and weightless soft plastic jerkbaits have all been producing well in less than 10 feet of water. The best bite has been around flooded brush on points and flats, where larger bass have been taking advantage of the newly submerged cover. Marinas are also holding plenty of fish, though they have generally been smaller, with most topping out around 3 pounds. Overall, focusing on shallow, freshly flooded brush has been the most consistent pattern for finding quality bass.

Lake Travis Fishing Report – Brush Pattern & Mixed Spawn Phases (April 14, 2026)

by Leave a Comment

Lake Travis is sitting roughly 18 feet low with clear water offering around 4–6 feet of visibility and water temperatures near 68 degrees. Bass are positioned in 10–20 feet of water, relating to brush located near spawning areas such as shallow pockets and large flats. Fish are in a mix of pre-spawn and post-spawn phases, which is typical for Travis this time of year as it tends to lag slightly behind other area lakes due to its size and depth.

Drop-shot rigged finesse worms have been the most consistent producer when targeting these fish around brush. Bass are grouped up well, and once a productive piece of cover is located, it’s common to catch multiple fish from the same spot. Slowing down and thoroughly working each piece of brush has been key to maximizing bites.
