Inks Lake is at a normal level with stained water and temperatures around 79°. The fishing has been excellent lately, with some of the best action coming from schools of quality bass feeding heavily on large gizzard shad around offshore rock.

Big topwater baits and large swimbaits have been producing well when targeting these feeding schools. Finding areas holding good concentrations of gizzard shad has been the key to locating active bass, and once the right group of fish is found, anglers have opportunities to catch multiple quality fish from a relatively small area.

LAKE BELTON - Surface temperature 86.6F. Elevation 1.5 feet low and falling. White bass fishing is consistent during the first and last hour of light. If fish appear on the surface, use Cork Rigs with Sandy Sandwich Streamers imitating young-of-the-year shad. When fish do not appear on the surface, work MAL Bridge lures vertically or horizontally as indicated by sonar up to three hours past sunrise or up to 90 minutes prior to sunset. Downrigging with #12 or #13 Pet Spoons will help cover ground to help you zero in on places where these other tactics may be used. Hybrid...

Downrigging with #12 or #13 Pet Spoons will help cover ground to help you zero in on places where these other tactics may be used. Hybrid are consistent on shrimp fished near bottom under greenlights from an anchored position under cover of darkness in the 30-foot range. Blue and channel catfish may be chummed to areas in the 20-30 foot range with cattle cubes and/or soured grain and fished successfully with Whisker Seeker Tackle cheese punchbait on #6 treble hooks. Sunfish are abundant in longer, shallower coves with wood, rock, and vegetative cover. Use worm on #14 long-shank hooks under sensitive slipfloats to catch bluegills, longears, redears, and green sunfish. Sunfishing is very kid-friendly right now.

STILLHOUSE HOLLOW RESERVOIR - Surface temperature 86.6F. Elevation 1.04 feet low and falling. White bass fishing is most consistent in the three hours following sunrise. Work MAL Bridge lures vertically using a "smoking" tactic with spinning gear allowing bait to fall all the way to bottom, removing slack, then cranking the lure at a moderate cadence

**Inks Lake Fishing Report – Early September**

Inks Lake is currently about 0.75 feet below full pool, with water temperatures around 83° and visibility ranging from roughly 2–5 feet. Bass are being caught around shallow cover on urchin-style baits and drop-shot rigged finesse worms, providing consistent opportunities throughout the day.

Some of the more exciting action has been coming from schools of bass feeding on large gizzard shad offshore. These schools are providing opportunities for quality fish, with large swimbaits and big topwater baits producing the best results when the bass are actively feeding.

schools are constantly on the move. Overall, the fishing has been good, with plenty of opportunities for anglers who can stay with the bait.

Recent rains have created a wide range of conditions across Lake Austin, with water temperatures ranging from the upper 60s on the upper end of the lake to the low 80s farther downstream. Water clarity also varies significantly depending on location, with visibility ranging from about 2 to 6 feet. Despite the changing conditions, the fishing has remained consistently good.

Bass are beginning to settle into summer patterns and are increasingly grouping into schools around submerged vegetation in 5–15 feet of water. Neko-rigged creature baits have been producing the most reliable action, while topwater stick baits have been a great...

option for targeting active fish feeding higher in the water column. Anglers who spend time covering water and locating productive stretches of vegetation are finding the best success, with opportunities to catch multiple fish once an active group is located.

Fish are holding shallow across the lake, and it’s common to run into small groups that can produce quick flurries of action before things slow down again.

    Randy was great! The weather made for a tough day, but Randy managed to put us on some fish, so the weather didn't totally ruin the trip. We'll be scheduling another trip with Randy in the near future!

    Great Capt. Tough conditions the day we went out but Aaron was great conversation and put us on some fish. When things were slow even invited my son to dive into the lake and cool off with him with a quick swim. All around great captain very knowledgeable friendly and skilled. Would definitely book Aaron again next time we’re in town.

    Trip: Lake Travis Bass Fishing

    Awesome fishing charter! We had a great time from start to finish. Aaron was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly where to put us on the bass. We caught plenty of fish and had a blast doing it. Everything was well organized, the equipment was great, and the whole trip felt relaxed and enjoyable. We put at least 15-20 fish in the boat within 4 hours. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or just looking for a fun day on the water, I’d highly recommend this charter. I’ll definitely be booking another trip next time we’re in the area!

    Aaron was an outstanding guide. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great day on the water. My cousin and I caught a ton of bass, learned new techniques, and had an absolute blast. If you’re looking for a guide in the Austin area, book with Aaron—you won’t regret it! We’ll definitely be fishing with him again.
