Lake Travis Fall Fishing Report - September 28, 2026
The fall transition is finally here! For those unfamiliar, this marks something special... this is when the days start getting shorter and the water temps start getting a bit cooler. With it brings a big change in the fish's behaviour and patterns that are working. As of yesterday when I was on the lake the water temps were around 84-86 degrees with water clarity around a few feet depending on what part of the lake you are on. The big trend you are going to start noticing is

Lake Travis is FULL! - July 27, 2026 - Lake Travis Fishing Report (Austin, TX)
Lake Travis is FULL! I can hardly believe I am typing that sentence, its has been a very long time since I have seen Lake Travis completely full.

April 20, 2026 - Spring Lake Travis Bass Fishing Report
The bass fishing on Lake Travis has been quite good the last few weeks! The bite has changed a bit since the beginning of spring as the water temps have gotten up into the low 70's.

Lake Austin Bass Fishing Report - February 12, 2026
As most of you probably know, the grass is back in Lake Austin... it has been for quite a while now. I'm very excited for the direction I see the lake headed with this new healthy habitat back in the lake for the population of largemouth bass. While there are a lot of politics at play when it comes to the future of that beautiful grass, currently its doing great things for the fishing. Something I teach clients when I guide is that I am big about fishing patterns rather than
