Early Winter Fishing Report for Lake Austin

# Lake Austin Fishing Report - December 1st, 2025

Well folks, it's your boy Artificial Lure bringing you the Lake Austin fishing report for this Monday morning. We're heading into early winter here, and the bite is shifting, but there's still opportunity for some solid action.

Water temps are cooling down nicely, sitting in that sweet spot where the fish are still feeding but not quite locked down yet. We're looking at stable conditions today with no major weather disruptions expected, so if you can get out this morning, the early hours are gonna be prime time.

For bass fishing, we're seeing some decent action on crappie and catfish as well. The lake's been pretty productive lately. Largemouth bass are still responding well—focus your efforts around structure and deeper holes where they're congregating as temps drop.

Now here's the real deal for baits and lures: classic approaches are working best right now. For bass, you want to throw suspending jerkbaits with good scaly patterns and work them with pauses—don't be afraid to let them sit for 5 to 10 seconds. Spinners in size three or four are also money, especially in silver with colored bodies in clear water. Crankbaits, particularly square bill designs, are producing too.

If you're targeting catfish, we're seeing some great success with cut bait—chunks of shad or rough fish work fantastic. Live bait presentations with solid rod pressure will land you some solid fish in the 3 to 10-pound range.

I'd recommend heading to the deeper holes and channel areas where the structure concentrates fish. Early morning from sunrise until about mid-morning is your window before the bite slows down.
