  • Summary

  • For Lake Austin on November 8, 2024, here’s what you can expect:

    The weather is looking partly cloudy with a high of around 74 degrees and a low of 61 degrees, making it a great day to be out on the water. Sunrise was at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 5:27 PM.

    The water level is slightly below pool, about 0.56 feet down, and the water temperature is around 72 degrees with a light stain. This condition is ideal for bass fishing, especially with the recent cooling temperatures bringing bigger fish up shallow.

    Yesterday, bass fishing was excellent, particularly around the outside of grass lines and near bridges. The best lures to use right now include Texas-rigged worms, weightless flukes, and baitfish patterns like jerkbaits, small swimbaits, and spinnerbaits. The grass is starting to break down, creating a perfect setup for the frog bite, so don’t forget to pack your topwater lures.

    For specific hot spots, focus on the areas around bridges where bass are starting to concentrate. The shallow flats and points are also productive, especially where you find baitfish schools. The reed lines and open flats are great places to use moving techniques like swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits.

    Catfish are also active, with good catches on cut shad and punch baits in deeper areas. Crappie fishing is slow but can be found on small jigs over deep brush piles.

    Overall, Lake Austin is in great shape for fishing this time of year, so grab your gear and take advantage of the cooling temperatures and active fish.
