Lake Austin Fishing Report

On the water · September 18, 2026

Lake Austin keeps on producing. Bass are on the chew all over the lake, and the grass is the whole game right now -- work creature baits, craws, and worms in green colors anywhere you find it, top to bottom of the lake. A swimbait in shad or bluegill colors will get bit around the same grass if you'd rather cover water.

Get out early and there's still a legitimate frog bite going, mostly midlake where bass are schooled up in the grass -- that bite won't last forever, so enjoy it while it's here.
