 FISHIN' REPORT: LAKE AUSTIN - May 19, 2025

Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Monday mornin' report for Lake Austin!

The bass bite is GOOD today with water conditions stayin' pretty consistent from last week - water's still stained with temps around 75 degrees, sittin' about half a foot below pool level. That summer pattern is fully established now.

Early birds are catchin' the worm (and the fish) this week! Get out before the sun gets high and work those small topwaters right on top of the grass beds. Been seein' folks have real nice success with that approach. Once the morning traffic picks up and the sun climbs, them bass are headin' offshore to deeper water.

The bass are followin' a predictable schedule lately - shallow in the mornin', then movin' to brush piles offshore as the day progresses. Texas-rigged worms, dropshots, and shaky heads around brush have been producin' well. If you've got that fancy forward-facin' sonar, try minnow-style baits for those suspended bass around the baitfish schools.

Some lunkers been caught recently, includin' what I hear was a water body record white bass about 10 days ago! The bluegill beds are active in the shallows too, which has been attractin' bass lookin' for an easy meal.

Best lures right now: chatterbaits worked through grass, small creature baits near bluegill beds, and those weightless trick worms near points. Stick to natural colors in the clearer water.

For you catfish folks - not much specific data for Lake Austin, but surrounding lakes are seein' good action on punch bait and shad in various depths.

Hot spots today: Try the creek mouths early with small swimbaits, then move to dock edges as the sun comes up. The submerged grass beds about halfway up the lake have been holdin' some quality fish. Don't overlook those bluegill beds in the backs of coves - that's where some of the better bass have been hangin'.

This lake is LOADED with grass right now, which is great for the fish but makes navigation tricky in spots. Watch your prop and take it easy in the shallow areas.

Remember, with the zebra mussel situation, the law requires drainin' all water from your boat when leavin' the lake.

That's the word from Lake Austin today, folks. Get out there early, beat the heat and the weekend warriors, and don't forget to wet a line where the bluegills are beddin'! This is Artificial Lure, signin' off until next time. Tight lines, y'all!
