Austin Fishing Report

Feb 11, 2026

FAIR. Water stained; 57 degrees; 0.45 feet below pool. Bass fishing is quickly heating up on Lake Austin. Starting to see bass cruising in shallow water, but not quite on spawning beds yet. Bass are good just outside spawning areas with a wacky worm, dropshot, and smaller Texas rigs. Watermelon red fluke or senko fished weightless around points in the grass and hard edges are also good. Report by Carson Conklin, ATX Fishing. Bass are fair on suspending jerkbaits fished over submerged vegetation and mid-strolling minnow-style soft plastics targeting suspended, nomadic fish following baitfish. Bass relating to grass are being caught in 12–20 feet of water, while roaming fish can be found over a variety of depths. Fish are grouped up in areas, and anglers can often catch multiple bass once productive zones are located. Some very large bass have recently been caught, likely representing early spawning fish beginning to stage ahead of the spawn. Report by Ander Meine, Bassquatch Fishing.
