Lake Travis Fishing Report

On the water · October 30, 2026

Back on Lake Travis with another client and his brother, and once again the rain showed up -- and so did the topwater bite.

My client didn't bring a rain top and was getting soaked, so I loaned him one of mine. That kept him dry, and he kept right on catching bass, both on top and on the bottom with creature baits and worms.

We had a great time on the water and caught almost as many as the day before. Two rainy days in a row on Travis, and two great days of fishing.
