The cooler weather has the baitfish pushing up shallow and the bass are following. Spinnerbaits were very effective around the bait balls and swimbaits and flukes were along the ledge using slow to medium retrieves .

Post frontal conditions have slowed the bite down. Wacky rig weightless worms and dropshots had the most success along ledges and under docks. Suspending jerkbaits with long pauses (at least 5-10 seconds) were also effective on primary points.

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

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
The Raspy ReportBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonFallStructureFlooded BrushTargeting 3-12 feet of depth on main lake points. Points needed to have a combination of flooded brush and chunk rock along with having a topography of a long slow 45 degree tapering point that extends out into deep water. Fish were suspended up in the water column & were chasing baits that stayed up above their heads. Finding that combination of flooded brush and chunk rock on a slow tapering point was the most important part.

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.
