Hey there bass heads, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for Lake Austin on this beautiful Sunday morning, October 12th, 2025.

We're looking at another gorgeous fall day on the lake. Sunrise was around 7:30 this morning, and we'll have light until about 7:00 tonight, giving you plenty of time to get on the water. Water temperatures across Central Texas lakes are hovering in the low to mid-80s, with cooler mornings in the 60s finally starting to push fish into more active feeding patterns.

The first cold front of the season rolled through recently, and while we're still experiencing summerlike conditions, things are starting to shift. Shad have been migrating to the shallows, and that's the key to everything right now. When the baitfish move shallow, the game fish follow, and we're seeing active feeding in that 1 to 10-foot zone.

Bass fishing has been excellent early and late in the day. Focus on main lake points and flats where shad are congregating. Topwater action has been exceptional, especially in the morning hours. A weightless 5-inch stick bait or soft jerkbait is absolutely killing it right now. Don't be afraid to throw a hollow body frog over vegetation or a spinnerbait along the banks. If you locate schooling bass, small clear baits on spinning gear will get quick reactions when fish are busting shad on the surface.

For your subsurface game, Texas rigs and Carolina rigs are producing on offshore brush and rocks in 4 to 12 feet. As the day heats up, move out to ledges and work a jig or Texas-rigged soft plastic.

Crappie anglers are having a field day right now. Fish are schooled up in big numbers around brush piles, standing timber, and channel edges in 12 to 20 feet of water. Minnows and jigs are both working well, with bigger fish holding on the bottom.

White bass are absolutely on fire, especially during those golden hours around sunrise and sunset. They're patrolling aggressively, and spoons are your best bet on main lake points and flats.

For hot spots, I'd hit the discharge and intake areas early, then work your way to any main lake points with good shad activity. Docks with lights are producing at night, especially for white bass on beetle spins.
