Lake Travis
Travis is a 18,622 acres lake just west of Austin, TX. Over the last decade, the lake has experienced drought and flood periods. During the last drought, there was a lot of tree and bush growth in the lake. Once the lake refilled, the submerged brush has provided great habitat for forage and game fish. In addition, Texas Parks and Wildlife has stocked the lake during the last two years. If you live in Austin, It's a great time to fish Lake Travis.
Recent Fishing Report
Early to Mid-Sept 2018
Let it rain, Let it rain! We've received some much needed rain and lake is almost two feet higher. The cooler temperatures have brought down the surface water temps to low to mid-80's. Fishing has been good with the rising water and a change from the dog day heat. At times, the fishing can be fast-paced with some crushing strikes but also can slow down after a big feed. When they are not that active, I had to slow down the presentation to get the bites. The last couple of weeks, the topwater bite was very good with crankbaits, flukes and a trig or drop-shot worms from 25' to <2' foot of water. With the change of weather and impending fall weather (next weekend fall equinox), pay attention to the wind as this will position the bait and the bass. In the summer, the predominant wind is from the south however that changed over the last two weeks. Because of wind changes, some of those great summer fishing spots may go away. Always be cognizant of the weather conditions i.e. wind, temp, barometric pressure. These are keys to the fishing chess game. Be a bird watcher as well. This is my favorite time of year with the pleasure boat traffic subsiding and the cooler temps coming. Time to take some Fridays off!
