For Lake Austin on November 21, 2024, here’s what you can expect:

The water level is currently 0.61 feet below pool, and the water temperature is around 69 degrees, with a slight stain. Sunrise today is at 6:58 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it a pleasant day for fishing.

Yesterday's fishing was good, with bass being the main catch. The bass are starting to concentrate around bridges and in the grassy areas where the vegetation is breaking down, creating a favorable environment for frog bites. The cooling temperatures have brought some bigger fish up shallow.

For lures, jerkbaits, small swimbaits, and spinnerbaits are doing well, especially those that mimic baitfish patterns. Soft plastics like craw worms and flukes are also effective, particularly in the grassy areas. Topwater lures are working well in the morning, especially when there is some wind.

If you're targeting bass, try areas around the bridges and the grassy sections. The best spots include the shallow crankbait zones around rock and brush points, and the deeper ledges and points where you can use hard and soft jerkbaits.

For a successful day, consider fishing the upper ends of the lake where the grass is more prevalent, and don't miss the areas around the creek mouths and pockets where baitfish are abundant. Remember to drain your boat and onboard receptacles to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.

Overall, it should be a great day on Lake Austin with consistent fishing patterns and a good chance of catching some quality bass.
