Belton Lake<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 04\/20\/2026 – Belton Lake is sitting at a normal level with clear water offering roughly 5 feet of visibility and water temperatures around 68 degrees. Bass are primarily positioned along steeper, rocky shorelines inside creek arms, holding in 5\u201310 feet of water. The majority of fish appear to be in a post-spawn phase, as traditional spawning areas have not been producing many bites.<\/p>\n Medium diving crankbaits have been the most effective for targeting these fish, especially when worked along steep rock transitions. Early in the morning, a shad spawn has been providing an additional opportunity, with bass pushing bait tight to the bank on similar rocky shorelines. During this window, topwater baits like a River2Sea Rover have produced well. Overall, focusing on steeper rock and adjusting between subsurface and topwater presentations based on conditions has been key.<\/p>\n Big Bass Score = 2; Numbers Score = 2; Total = 4<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Inks Lake<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 07\/25\/2026 \u2013 Inks Lake is offering stained water with roughly 2\u20134 feet of visibility, water temperatures around 81 degrees, and a water level at normal pool. Bass are relating to shallow cover throughout the lake, including rock, wood, docks, and other available structure, with wind-blown areas continuing to produce the most consistent action.<\/p>\n Drop-shot rigged finesse worms and Neko-rigged creature baits have been producing the most consistent bites in less than 5 feet of water. Topwater lures have also been generating quality fish during the first hour of daylight and again late in the evening. Overall, the fishing has remained good, with the best success coming from targeting shallow, wind-blown cover.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lady Bird Lake (AKA: Town Lake)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 07\/15\/2026 \u2013 Lady Bird Lake is offering stained water with roughly 2\u20133 feet of visibility, water temperatures around 78 degrees, and a water level at normal pool. Bass are relating to submerged vegetation in 5\u201312 feet of water, with the most productive areas being those influenced by fresh runoff entering the lake.<\/p>\n Drop-shot rigged finesse worms and Neko-rigged creature baits have been producing the most consistent action around the submerged grass. Focusing on vegetation near incoming runoff has been the key to locating active fish, as these areas continue to provide favorable water conditions and concentrate baitfish. Overall, the fishing has been good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Lake Austin<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 07\/08\/2026 \u2013 Lake Austin is offering clear water with roughly 4\u20136 feet of visibility, water temperatures around 84 degrees, and a water level at normal pool. Bass are relating to submerged vegetation in 5\u201315 feet of water, with fish grouped up in productive areas throughout the grass.<\/p>\n Drop-shot rigged finesse worms and Neko-rigged creature baits have been producing the most consistent action. Once a bite is generated, thoroughly working the surrounding vegetation has been key, as multiple bass are often holding in the same general area. Overall, the fishing has remained decent.<\/p>\n Big Bass Score = 2; Numbers Score = 2; Total = 4 <\/p>\n Lake Buchanan<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 03\/07\/2025 – Water temp is 49-52 on the lower end and 55-57 on the upper end.\u00a0 Water clarity also varies from being about 4 ft visibility on the lower end to only 2 ft visibility on the upper end.\u00a0 The bite has slowed down quite a bit and those bigger bites have gotten tougher to come by.\u00a0 The best pattern we’ve had going right now is just using drop-shot rigged finesse worms around rockpiles.<\/p>\n Big Bass Score = 2; Numbers Score = 2; Total 4<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Lake Georgetown<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 06\/22\/2026 – Lake Georgetown is offering good summer fishing with water temperatures around 80 degrees and stained water providing approximately 2\u20134 feet of visibility. The lake remains roughly 4 feet above full pool, flooding shoreline vegetation throughout the backs of many creek arms and creating excellent shallow cover for bass.<\/p>\n Chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, and 4-inch paddle-tail swimbaits have been producing the most consistent action in less than 6 feet of water. Targeting flooded brush and vegetation in the backs of creek arms has been the key pattern, with bass using the newly inundated cover as both feeding and ambush areas. Covering water with moving baits has been an effective way to locate active fish, and anglers who focus on freshly flooded shoreline habitat should continue to find good success.<\/p>\n Big Bass Score = 2; Numbers Score = 1; Total = 3<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lake Lyndon B. Johnson<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 06\/29\/2026 \u2013 Lake LBJ is offering water temperatures around 82 degrees with stained water providing roughly 2\u20134 feet of visibility. The lake is sitting at its normal level, and summer patterns are well established. Fishing has been fair overall, with bass transitioning from shallow feeding areas early in the day to slightly deeper vegetation as the sun climbs.<\/p>\n Drop-shot rigged finesse worms and urchin-style baits have been producing the most consistent action. Targeting shallow rock in just a few feet of water during the early morning has been productive before shifting to submerged vegetation in 8\u201310 feet of water later in the day. Adjusting with the changing light conditions has been key to staying on active fish.<\/p>\n Big Bass Score = 2; Numbers Score = 2; Total = 4<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lake Marble Falls<\/strong><\/p>\n 03\/03\/2026 – Lake Marble Falls is sitting at a normal level with stained water and 2\u20134 feet of visibility<\/strong>, with water temperatures around 66 degrees<\/strong>. Bass are in various stages of the spawn<\/strong>, with fish positioned shallow throughout the lake as more bass continue moving up to spawn.<\/p>\n Some of the most consistent bites have been coming on wacky-rigged Senkos and weightless soft plastic jerkbaits<\/strong> fished around rocky shorelines and docks in less than 5 feet of water<\/strong>. Slowing down and thoroughly working shallow cover has been key, as many of the bass in these areas are either actively spawning or staging nearby.<\/p>\n Big Bass Score = 2; Numbers Score = 2; Total = 4<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lake Travis<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 07\/02\/2026 \u2013 Lake Travis is offering clear water with roughly 4\u20136 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n
