Lake Austin Spring Bass Bite: Shallow Shad Spawns and Prime Solunar Peaks
About this episode
Weather's mild—mid-70s daytime, coolin' to low 50s overnight, light south breeze per local forecasts, perfect for early topwater action before it warms. Fish are wakin' up strong; recent reports mirror spring patterns like them Northeast bites, with bass pushin' shallow on shad spawns. Anglers pulled 20+ largemouth up to 7 pounds yesterday near the dams, plus Guadalupe bass hittin' 3-4 pounds, stripers schoolin' in 15-25 feet, and channel cats stackin' on points. Hybrids and whites are boomin' too, limits easy on live shad.
Best lures? Go Texas-rigged worms or chatterbaits in shad colors for bass—F18 Pike patterns if ya got 'em, like them Colorado reports. Jerkbaits and shiners for smallies. Live bait kings: shad or minnows under bobbers at dawn/dusk, cut shad for cats. Work slow in 40-degree water, mid-mornin' peaks.
Hot spots: Hit Mansfield Dam riprap for stripers and big largemouth—long casts with plugs, dig 'em in like Raritan Bay pros. Then slide to Laguna Gloria coves for bedding bass on finesse plastics. Limits guaranteed if ya time them solunars.
Y'all stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
