Summer is here! Fishing is good!

Most lakes are fishing good right now in the central Texas area. Lake Travis has been good, catching plenty of fish up shallow on topwaters, cranks and soft plastics. Lake Decker is going strong as well and we are catching some good fish up shallow, including some big ones. It is definitely time to get out there as that next cast could be that fish of a lifetime. Other lakes like Buchanan, Inks and LBJ are fishing well also.

If you are strictly after that fish of a lifetime or just all around bigger fish, Lake Falcon and Choke Canyon are always great choices year-round, but especially right now.

Its always a great time to get that child on some fish. I would be happy to help you do that so book your trip today!

Lakes

Lake Austin, Lake Travis, Lake Decker (officially Walter E. Long), Lake LBJ, Lake Bastrop, Fayette County, Lake Buchanan, Stillhouse Hollow, Choke Canyon, Lake Falcon, O.H.Ivie, Sam Rayburn. Bass fishing is one of the best things to do in Austin, Texas.

Note: I practice catch and release, so largemouth and smallmouth bass are usually not kept, but if it is table fare you are after, we can catch white bass, crappie and guadalupe/spotted bass for your eating enjoyment. Cleaning services are not included.

Guadalupe Bass - State Fish of Texas

Austin Bass Fishing GuideThe Guadalupe bass is the state fish of Texas and central Texas is the only place in the world you can catch them. If that is what you are after, then you came to the right place. We catch them almost every trip out on some of the lakes here in the highland lakes chain. That includes mostly Lake Travis and LBJ with some of the others holding some as well including Lake Austin, Inks and Buchanan. They are very good fighters for their size which normally does not exceed more than about 1.5 to 2 pounds but a few bigger ones are caught as well. I caught the lake record in a tournament for these on Lake LBJ with a 2.49 lb one in April of 2012 which you can see just to the right. My largest on Lake Travis is 3.57 lbs which is just .12 shy of the lake record on Travis of 3.69 and .14 shy of the world record of 3.71 lbs, caught just below Longhorn dam close to downtown Austin. They are also excellent table fare, better tasting than I think even crappie are. That says a lot being that crappie are pretty good eating.

Sponsorship Opportunities

I have some great opportunities for sponsorships if you are interested. I am looking for sponsors for the upcoming season and you would benefit greatly as a sponsor of such events by using several advertisement avenues and representation. Please contact me to see how we can start a mutually beneficial relationship. Thanks...
