While some fish have begun transitioning toward more offshore summer locations, plenty of bass remain associated with shallow grass and continue to provide steady action. Recent rains have created some variability in water conditions throughout the system, making it worthwhile to keep moving until cleaner water and active fish are located. Overall, the fishing has remained good, with anglers finding success by focusing on vegetation-rich areas that continue to attract both baitfish and bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Big Bass Score = 2; Numbers Score = 3;&nbsp;<strong>Total = 5<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/andermeine.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lady-bird-lake-double-up-bass-may-2026.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/andermeine.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lady-bird-lake-double-up-bass-may-2026-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Uncle and nephew holding largemouth bass caught during a Lady Bird Lake guided fishing trip using Neko-rigged creature baits.\" class=\"wp-image-3939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andermeine.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lady-bird-lake-double-up-bass-may-2026-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/andermeine.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lady-bird-lake-double-up-bass-may-2026-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/andermeine.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lady-bird-lake-double-up-bass-may-2026-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/andermeine.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lady-bird-lake-double-up-bass-may-2026.jpg 1130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An evening double-up on Lady Bird Lake.
