Largemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSummerStructureLedgesDid a little fishing on a poontoon boat trip on lake Travis and had to bring a rod along. 2-3ft visibility. Largemouth and Guadalupe bass were posted along shaded bluff walls in the coves and under boat docks and marinas. Mid-afternoon bite was tough. I had the most success with smaller swimjigs with paddle tail trailers, reeled at the slowest speed where the tail would still kick and as close to the bottom of the lake as possible.

Caught most our fish this morning mopin a jerk shadz on a small jig head using forward facing sonar. Had luck around the marinas early morning around shallow walls and later in the day deeper in the marinas. Caught a few on morning dawn colored drop shot.

Crankbaits work well on Lake Travis. Lake Travis has a lot or deep rocky areas that are good to run crankbaits over. The Rapala DT series crankbaits are a good pick for Travis. Match the crankbait to the depth you would like to fish. Make the bait touch or run the bottom for more bites. The Helsinki Shad color get bit on Lake Travis.

Spinnerbait is a great bait for Lake Travis. Travis is considered a clear water lake but can get murky quick. Use gold blades for stained water and silver blades for clear water. Spinnerbait is more effective when you can make contact with underwater tree branches or laydown. Works well with swimbait trailers. Spinnerbait is also good on Lake Travis when targeting fish busting the surface.

Cast up shallow and bang a squarebill into as much cover as possible, it will draw a reaction strike. A wacky worm also works when skipped under docks

Largemouth fishing is good. The bass are chasing bait fish near rock ledges and drop offs. Jigs, swimjigs, jerkbaits, and droshots are very effective along the ledges. Targeting shaded areas under boat docks and marinas with jigs is also very effective
