Halloween is next week and the fishing is good...

by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs

I have been taking clients out to Lake Decker and Lake Travis mainly recently. Lake Decker always has a chance at a big bass and lately we've been catching some decent ones on every trip. Most are in the 2-4 pound class and we are catching them in schools, along grass lines and on frogs coming through the reeds. We really need a few big cold fronts to get these fish feeding better there.

That's why I'm taking more and more clients to Lake Travis. We are catching numbers out there and even some decent ones. We are catching most numbers on top waters which is a lot of fun. A shaky head jig and finesse skirted jigs are catching some good fish as well. There's a few ledges I've been fishing out there that are loaded up with nice fish up to 5 pounds and sometimes they could be on absolute fire. You'll hook one and a whole wolfpack will follow it to the boat trying to eat the bait out of their mouth and some of those may be 4-5 pounds. Lots of fun.

Another lake that is fishing well is Lake Bastrop. We are catching 20-50 fish a day working the grass with wakebaits, flukes and even some on spinnerbaits. A shaky head and jig will work further out from the grass as well. Good times...
