Lake Austin

Water normal stain; 81 degrees; 0.50 feet below pool. Most of the creeks flowing into Lake Austin carried a lot of water this week. There is quite a bit of debris around the lake and a good stain to the water. There is a good shallow bite early in the morning. Whopper ploppers, spooks, poppers, and weightless flukes are getting bites. Once the sun is up fish are moving out deeper around brush piles. Texas rig worms fished slow around and through brush piles is good. A lot of fish are chasing small baitfish out in the river channel. Small jighead minnow style baits are good around these areas. If they’re shallow in the water column they react well to a jerkbait as well. Still a lot of grass growing around the lake and a ton of bluegill in it. Report by Carson Conklin, ATX Fishing.
