Largemouth Bass
Targeting largemouth bass around Austin means understanding the seasonal patterns of forage fish in lakes like Lake Travis and Lake Austin. Spring is prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn, making them susceptible to lures like crankbaits and spinnerbaits fished around submerged vegetation. As the water warms in summer, bass retreat to deeper, cooler waters and can be caught on Texas-rigged worms or jigs near structure. Fall sees another feeding frenzy as bass prepare for winter. A key local tip is to pay attention to the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) lake levels and flow rates, as these can significantly impact bass behavior. Public access is readily available at numerous parks and boat ramps, but be prepared for increased traffic, especially on weekends. Austin bass are known for their aggressive strikes and decent size, so be sure to bring a variety of lures and be prepared to adjust your presentation based on water clarity and temperature.
