Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your up-to-the-minute Lake Austin fishing report for Saturday, June 21st, 2025. The lake’s rolling out a true Central Texas summer: water temperatures are hovering around 81 degrees, a little stained but clear enough for that classic Lake Austin bite, and the reservoir is sitting just over half a foot below pool.
Sunrise came up at 6:29 this morning, and you’ve got daylight to work with till sunset around 8:30 tonight. We’re seeing light south winds and mostly clear skies, so it’s prime time for casting at those wind-blown points and over the grass edges—classic setups for this time of year. Tide details aren’t a major player on Lake Austin, but these stable water levels help the fish settle into their predictable summer patterns.
Early birds this morning found a good shallow bite before that Texas sun really cranked up. There’s been a flurry of small shad busting the surface, especially around creek mouths and main lake points. Schooling bass were active for the first hour or so, making for some exciting topwater action. Big walking baits and poppers have been deadly in the low light, so don’t sleep on the early morning topwater window, especially in coves with hydrilla and eelgrass.
Once the sun's up, bass have pulled deeper—look for them stacking around submerged brush piles, creek channels, and the edges of thick grass beds. Big worms rigged Texas-style and slow-rolled swimbaits have been producing steady bites, particularly around 8 to 15 feet. Lightweight Texas rigs and dropshots are also putting numbers in the boat around those deeper grass edges.
Recent catches have been overwhelmingly Largemouth Bass, with a solid mix of two to five pounders and the occasional toad tipping the scales bigger. The big girls are out there; June's always a sleeper month for landing that trophy if you’re patient and methodical. Catfish are showing up in fair numbers on cut shad and nightcrawlers, mainly off ledges and channel swings. If you’re looking for diversity, there’s the odd sunfish and even some decent crappie action down around dock pilings, but the main event right now is definitely the bass.
For bait, you can’t go wrong with small shad-imitating swimbaits, soft plastics in watermelon or green pumpkin, and a few big topwater plugs for that early bite. Punching jigs into the deep grass is also heating up as summer kicks in.
Hot spots today include the mouth of Bee Creek on the upper end—lots of schooling activity at dawn—and the grass flats just downstream from the Pennybacker Bridge. Also, keep an eye on the docks lining the Steiner Ranch area; there’s been some lunker activity late in the morning.
That wraps up your Lake Austin fishing report. Thanks for tuning in! Be sure to subscribe so you never miss an update. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.
