あらすじ・解説
For Lake Austin on November 9, 2024, here’s what you can expect:
First off, the weather is looking pretty good, with temperatures around 72 degrees and the water slightly stained. The lake is currently 0.56 feet below pool, so keep that in mind when navigating.
Sunrise today is at about 6:54 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.
Fish activity has been picking up, especially with the cooling temperatures. Bass are starting to concentrate around bridges and are actively chasing baitfish. You can catch them using baitfish patterns like jerkbaits, small swimbaits, and spinnerbaits. The grass is breaking down, creating a perfect setup for a frog bite, especially in the shallower areas.
Yesterday, bass were caught on the outside of grass lines using Texas rig worms and weightless flukes. The bridges and areas with shallow rock in the 3-10 foot depth range are hot spots right now. If you're targeting bass, consider using topwater baits like buzz baits and whopper ploppers early in the morning, especially near primrose or matted grass. For areas around docks or open water, whopper ploppers are a good choice.
Crappie are a bit slower but can still be caught on small jigs over deep brush, typically around 25 feet deep.
For catfish, cut shad and liver are working well, especially when drifting.
Some of the best spots to try include the areas around the bridges, particularly where the grass edges meet the open water, and the shallow rock formations. Docks close to creek channel bends are also producing good results, especially when using wacky rigged senkos or weedless swimbaits.
Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Austin, with plenty of fish to be caught and a variety of effective lures to use. Just remember to check the boat ramps and water levels before you head out.
