Lake Austin is at a normal level with clear water offering roughly 4\u20136 feet of visibility and water temperatures around 76 degrees. The lake continues to fish well, with many bass still relating to shallow cover despite warming conditions. Most fish appear to be in a post-spawn phase, although there are still enough fish lingering around spawning-type areas to keep shallow patterns highly productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Submerged vegetation on shallow flats has been holding the best concentrations of fish, particularly in areas that also feature nearby hard bottom or bait activity. Drop-shot rigged finesse worms and Neko-rigged creature baits have been producing steady action, especially when thoroughly working productive stretches that continue to reload with fish throughout the day. An early morning shad spawn has also provided an additional feeding window before transitioning into the grass bite later in the morning. Overall, the fishing has remained consistently good, with bass still slower to move offshore than they typically would be this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
