Lake Bastrop-12/4- water temp 67, lots of bass shallow right now, can catch these fish with spinnerbaits and flukes, worms also working well on outside edge of the grass, you can rig these on a drop shot or neko rig to stay weedless

Stillhouse Hollow Lake: Fishing is getting better as the weather continues to cool. We are doing well with weightless trick worms fished shallow around points.

We are doing well targeting huge schools of bass in and around the numerous marinas on the lake. Best baits are small weightless soft plastic jerkbaits and drop shot rigged finesse worms.

For big bass, fish the shallows with topwater lures like the River2Sea Rover!

Stillhouse Hollow: We are averaging 30 bass on slower trips and over 60 on the good ones! Targeting bass over shallow vegetation with various topwater lures and swimbaits will do well for larger bass during the early morning and late evening hours. For numbers, we are targeting huge schools of nomadic offshore bass that are roaming open water in search of baitfish. We are locating these schools with forward facing sonar and then catching them with weightless soft plastic jerkbaits fished quickly across the surface. These schools are suspended over water that is anywhere from 25 to over 100 ft deep.

    Had a blast out on the lake today with Aaron. We hooked three bass our first half hour and it only got better from there. Even though my wife and I have virtually no fishing experience, Aaron was very patient and instructive. We fished in several different spots, targeted a variety of catch and got a tour of Decker Lake in a fast boat. Great guy.

    Aaron knows the lakes around Austin and has plenty of material onboard. We catched several fishes while weather conditions where difficult. Additionaly he was flexible and changed the trip date to get a better weather window. Aaron fits your expectations and is very friendly. I definetly recommend.
