For Lake Austin on November 22, 2024, here’s what you can expect:
The water level is currently 0.61 feet below pool, and the water temperature is around 69 degrees, with the water slightly stained. Given the consistent fishing pattern, bass are your primary target.
Yesterday's fishing was good, with bass being caught in the grassy areas. The best bite has been on worms, but you can also catch them using flukes and divers. If you're looking for a specific spot, target the inside grass lines, particularly in 4-8 feet of water.
For lures, Texas-rigged worms, wacky rig senkos, and weightless flukes are highly effective. If the wind is calm, dead-sticking flukes can also work well on the main lake.
As for other fish, white bass and catfish are not as prominent in Lake Austin compared to bass, but you might still catch some white bass following bait balls in the main river channels.
The weather today is expected to be mild, with clear skies and a gentle breeze, making it ideal for fishing. Sunrise was at around 6:50 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:20 PM.
Hot spots include the areas near the dam and the deeper parts of the lake, especially around brush piles. Keep an eye out for bird activity, as it often indicates where the fish are feeding.
Overall, Lake Austin is in good shape for fishing, and with the right lures and bait, you should have a productive day on the water.
