Lady Bird Lake is at a normal level with clear water offering roughly 4\u20136 feet of visibility and water temperatures around 70 degrees. Bass are positioned shallow, generally less than 12 feet deep, and are relating to flats with a mix of submerged vegetation and harder bottom. Fish are in various stages of the spawn, though many of the better fish appear to be in a post-spawn phase. Bass are grouped up in specific areas, making it possible to catch multiple fish once a productive stretch is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chatterbaits and drop-shot rigged finesse worms have been producing the most consistent action. Covering water with a chatterbait has been an effective way to locate active fish, and once a bite is found, slowing down and working the area more thoroughly with a drop-shot has led to additional catches. Overall fishing has been good, with a consistent bite throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
