the water on lake travis has cooled slightly over the oast few days dew to high winds and unisual weather. the water temp is 65 and the bass are shallow. we are fishing grass flats on lake travis. it seems like rihht now if you can find grass you can find bass.
the fishing on lake travis today was absolutly inredible we had one of my best days out there in a while. we boated well over 70 fish with our biggest being about 25 lbs. we soend the day in a mssive grass flat throwing an assorment of soft plastics and the occasional top water
today we fished a big grass flat on lake travis. the water is 68 degrees and the fish are ina ll stages of the spawn. we casted 4" swimbaits around the grass flat ams caught numerous fish.
We had a fantastic day out on Lake Travis, chasing the elusive Largemouth Bass and a few other species. As a passionate fishing guide with Bass Tours ATX, I was excited to take Dave Henderson and his group of three out for a morning of Texas lake fishing trip. March is a prime time to target Largemouth Bass on Lake Travis, as the warming waters have them actively feeding and moving into their pre-spawn patterns. We met up at 2601 Cody Ave and headed out, taking advantage of the clear conditions throughout the day. Once on the water, we started working the lake with light tackle, covering different structure and depths to find the hot spots. It didn't take long before the action started heating up. We were into Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Black Bass, and even a few Florida Bass and White Bass. The Wiper, or Hybrid Striped Bass, were particularly feisty, putting up a great fight on our lightweight gear. Dave and the crew were all smiles, working their lures and flies with precision and enthusiasm. Between the steady bites and the camaraderie on the boat, the time flew by. Though we didn't manage to land any trophy-sized fish, it was still a day filled with great memories and plenty of quality catches. Spending a morning on the water, surrounded by the beautiful Texas scenery and chasing after some of the most exciting freshwater species, is what makes these Lake Travis fishing trips so special. If you're looking to experience the best bass fishing in the heart of Texas, I'd highly recommend booking a trip with Bass Tours ATX. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started, we'll make sure you have an unforgettable time on the water. Let's get you out here and onto some Texas bass!
fishing on lake austin today was yoir tyoical sprind day. the wayer was 65 and the fish are shallow and in canales and creeks. we caught them on moving baits in the morning then texas rigged worms in the afternoon
today on lake travis we targeted largemouth bass and had an outstanding day on the water. the bass continue to oush into shallow grass flats to begin picking a place for theor spawing behaiviors. we soent the while casting a grass edges and shallow sand flats to catch bass
today while fishing lake travis my clients wanted to target white bass, so we went to some places in the past i have found them running and we lucked out woth good numbers of white bass and largemouth bass
the fishing on lake travis is bery good right now. if you can find a shallow flat with grass on it then more then likely there are bass in reasy to eat a swimbait
water temps on lake travis are 58-61 degrees and the fish are moving up in less then 10 feet of water pretty much through out the lake. While fishing today we targeted large grass flats that are being hit by the wind. fishing in 2'-10' of water
the water is 63 degrees on lake austin and the fish seem to be pushing up into every creek in the mid lake section of the river. as always this time if year a wacky rig is king of fishing. stay shallow and always go all the way to the back
the water is 49-50 degrees and the bass in lake austin are schooled up in the river channel outside of spawning areas. most schools are actiy chasing bait bit some are in an area and wont leave the area
water has cooled a degree or two in the past couole days and it has slowed the fishing down a bit. it took the sun coming out today to make the fish start biting. we fished opening and points that go i to spawning areas. i focused on the spawning areas that can hold more fish.
the fishing on lake austin is getting better and better. with the warming tamps the fish are in full pre spawn mode just waiting fir the water temos and day lengths to get to their prefered place! we caught some fish out in the middle of lake austin that were chasing bait but most came at the mouths of creeks and on grass edges while slowly draging a texas rig.
water is about as cold as it will gat all year 47 degrees in most of the lake. i stayed in the main river channel of lake austin and fished ledges and bait balls. occasionally i would find a fish swimming around by itself but most of them were in groups either on the bottom next to a drop off or chasing around schools of bait.
the weather was crummy today while fishing lake travis so we decided to use moving baits to cover water and look for bait. we dis just that and ended uo having an incredible day! we fished some main lake transitions that had wind blowing on them and were loaded with bait as well as the mouth of a couple creeks that were also loaded with bait and fish chasing the bait.
made a wuick trip to fish lake travis and had a really good couple hours. i found fish a little bit north of mid lake on wind blown main lake points. the fish on lake travis were hanging close to the bank and just off the fisrt drop off

Captain Wyatt and I went out earlier this week for what was truly one of the most memorable fishing trips I’ve had. He asked what type of fishing I wanted to do and though I rarely keep fish, I told him I wanted to get some use out of my new vac seal. The cleanliness of the boat, the knowledge of the lake, the extremely technical electronics and so much more made for an incredible trip. We caught crappie, white bass, tons of largemouth, a few catfish and even this rare Lake Travis monster striped bass. Obviously got plenty of use out of my new vacuum sealer too! Thanks again Captain Wyatt! 10/10 will be hiring him again
