Austin
GOOD. Water clear; 60 degrees; 0.74 feet low. Bass are good with many fish on docks, and some on beds, but seem to be deeper so hard to see. Look for the warmer water for the spawning bass and throw the regular arsenal, such as, soft plastic stick baits, lizards and finesse worms or trick worms. Shallow crankbaits along laydowns and rocks are getting a few as well as deep cranks around rocks and ledges in 12-18 feet of water. Report provided by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs Bass Fishing Guide Service. Lady Bird Lake continues to have a good bass bite along the grass line using creature baits. Report provided by Carson Conklin, ATX Fishing.
