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.
