It’s Artificial Lure here, giving you the scoop for Wednesday, October 15th, 2025, fishing in and around Lake Austin. If you’re just rolling out and loading your rod, you’ve got classic Central Texas October conditions—crisp fall air and cool mornings, with high temps heading towards the upper 70s by this afternoon. Expect sunrise at 7:34 a.m. and sunset at 6:59 p.m., so there’s plenty of daylight for a full session. The moon is almost at third quarter and waning, giving us decent night visibility but bite activity shifting to prime windows: look for the early 4:13–6:13 a.m. major period and again late in the afternoon, 4:46–6:46 p.m., when fish go on the feed, according to FishingReminder.
We don't have proper tides on Lake Austin, but if you’re used to tracking those flows, focus instead on the *wind*. Today’s breeze is light out of the north after yesterday’s front, keeping the water churned just enough to give predatory fish confidence. Water temperatures are cooling steadily, which means baitfish movements are triggering classic fall feeding behavior up and down the lake.
Fishing activity this week has been strong, and local guides are stoked: big largemouth bass are slashing shad and chasing pods of bait into coves as those shad move shallow with the falling temps. Captain Experiences mentions that squarebills, spinnerbaits, and soft-plastic flukes are go-to choices—try silver or white to mimic forage, especially on windblown points and pockets. If the water muddies thanks to wind, switch to chartreuse or add scent to your lure to draw a strike.
Crappie anglers working brush piles in 12–18 feet, especially near the major creek arms, report solid numbers—black and white crappie both hitting on 1/16 oz jigs and live minnows dropped right to cover. Catfish—channels and blues—are hot on punch bait after these cold fronts; hit drop-offs and timber with fresh-cut shad or punch baits for steady action.
For the bait crowd, you can’t beat live shad or minnows. Bank anglers are still bringing in good catches with cut bait for catfish, but if you want numbers, punch baits on a slip rig are king. Those after a trophy largemouth should work points and bluff ends with big topwaters at sunrise—think Whopper Plopper or Spook for heart-pounding action.
Reports from TPWD and area tackle shops tell us that Lake Austin keeps kicking out double-digit bass in October for those patient enough to slow-roll a Texas-rigged worm as the sun climbs or twitch a suspending jerkbait over deeper ledges.
Hot spots to circle on your Navionics: the area around Emma Long Metropolitan Park always draws a crowd, and with good reason—the park’s rocky banks, submerged timber, and nearby creek mouths concentrate both bait and bass. Another reliable zone is Peach Creek, upstream—especially where it narrows and the water picks up a little current. For crappie, key in on bridge pilings and the edges of marinas, where submerged brush piles hold fish throughout the fall.
To wrap it up, don’t be surprised to see hybrid bass busting baitfish in open water right at dusk—keep a chrome lipless crank or a fluke ready for a bonus fish.
