Lake Austin Fishing Report: Monster Bass, Solid Visibility, and Productive Presentations

# Lake Austin Fishing Report – Sunday, November 9th, 2025

Well hey there, folks – Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for Lake Austin. Water's sitting pretty at 82 degrees with good clarity, so you're looking at solid visibility for your presentations today.

We've had some excellent success on the lake recently. Largemouth bass are firing on swimbaits, weightless flukes, jerkbaits, and crankbaits. If you're throwing Texas-rigged soft plastics, you're going to connect. The bass bite's been consistent, and anglers have been putting together some quality days on the water.

Speaking of quality, the all-tackle records show Willie Pipkin landed a monster 14-pound largemouth back in February – so yeah, there are genuine trophy bass in this lake. We've also got white bass, crappie, and catfish in the mix, so you've got options depending on what you're after.

For bait selection, I'd suggest working with swimbaits as your primary choice – they're producing right now. If you want to go artificial, crankbaits and jerkbaits are money. For crappie, minnows and jigs are your go-to. If you're targeting catfish, cut bait and prepared baits will get the job done.

As for hot spots around Lake Austin, you'll want to focus on areas with structure and deeper transitions. The lake tends to hold fish around submerged timber and rocky points, especially this time of year when water temps are dropping into the low 80s.

Lake Austin's tidal activity isn't typically significant like saltwater systems, but current flow from the Colorado River does affect fish positioning – keep that in mind when choosing your spots.
