The bite is there if you move about like Yoda. The cfs seems to be very low as well, so fish have been in pools here in central texas. But midday fishing is almost impossible right now.

We had an epic time with Carson fishing Lake Austin. We caught on a mix of different baits to keep things fun with worms, swim baits, etc. Was awesome learning a new lake and Carson had the tips and tricks to keep us on fish all morning. Can’t wait to run it back. - Jonathan with Captain Experiences
